Primitive folks did not need Iaxa-
tiyes. They lived outdoors, ate plenty
or fruit ard all of their food was
coarse. We modern people are diff
ferent. We exercise too little, eat lit
tie fruit and our food is too fine
too rich.
We simply can't have our ten yards
OF bowels clogged up, liver choked
With sour bile and stomach full of
foul effete matter and fell well. 1t
means that the food and waste re-
tanned in the stomach and 80 feet Of
bowels ferments-decays. The decay
creates poisons, gases and acids, and
those poisons are sucked into the
tlood through the very ducts intended
to suck in the nutriment Then we
have sick headache, become dull, bill
icus, tongue coated, nervous, meals
don't digest and we feel miserable all
over. So We must make our choice.

From Forty-Five to Fifty Are Much

The "change of life " is a most
critical period in a woman's ex-
iStence, and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near is not
without reason
When her system is in a de-
ranged condition, she may be
predisposed to apoplexy, or con-
gestion of some organ. At this
time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable to form and begin
their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as
sense of suffocation, hot flashes,
headaches, backaches, dread Of
impending evil, timidity, sounds
in the ears, palpitation of the
heart, sparks before the eyes,
irregularities, constipation, yari-
able appetite, weakness and
inquietude, and dizziness, are
promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the
period in life when woman's
great change may be expected.
These symptoms are calls from
nature for help. The nerves are
crying out for assistance and the
cry should be needed in time.
lydia L. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound Is prepared to meet
the needs of women's system at
this trying period of her life. 1t
invgorstes and strengthens the
female organism and builds VI
the weakened nervous system
1t has carried many women safely
through this crisis.
