through the door when I, too, flung
myself into the hall and stood there

stricken maid who had answered the
doctors ring.
Where is she?" I heard the doctor

could answer him there were hurried

ahead of me, three steps at a time,
and, following Louise's silent direc-

the second floor, when I, with out
stretched arms, approached her. l did
not think to ask what had happened
or who was i'll or what the matter
was. My only thought was one of JOY
that she was alive and well. What
mattered if Louise was safe? And the

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 apoplexg or con-
gestion Of some organ At this
time, also, cancers and tUunorS
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, vari-
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 E. Pnkham's Vegetable
Compound is prepared to meet
the needs Of women's system at
this trying period of her life. It
inTigorates and strengthens the
female organism and builds I'D
the weakened nervous system.
It has carried many women safely
