RED, Graniteville, VT.
No other medicine for woman's ills
has received such widespread and un-
qualified endorsement. No other med
icine we know Of has such q record
Of cures Of female ills as has Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years It has been
curing female complaints such as
Inflammation, liberation, local weak
nesses, fibroid tumors. irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, indigestion
and nervous prostration, and 1t is
unequalled for carrying women safely
through the period Of change Of life.
It costs but little to try Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and,
as Mrs. Barclay says it is worth noun
tains of gold I" to suffering women.
