No other medicine for woman's ills
has received such widespread and I'M
qualified endorsement No other med
lclne we know of has such a record
OF cures as has Lydia E. Pinkham's
vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years it has been
curing woman's ills such as infamma

ularities, periodic pains and nervous
prostration, and it is unequalled for
carrying women safely through the
period of change of life.
Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass,
invites all sick women to write
her for advice. Her advice is free,
and always helpful
