From Forty-Five to Fifty Are Much Benefited
by
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

The "change of life is 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, vari-
able appetite, weakness and
inquietude, and dizziness, are
promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the
period in life when womans
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. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is prepared to meet
the needs of women's system at
this trying period of her life. 1t
invigorates and strengthens the
female organism and builds up
the weakened nervous system.
1t has carried many women safely
through this crisis.

MARY TAYLOR.

Some public appreciation of the
character of Mary Taylor, who passed
away, November 29th in her seth
year, seems appropriate.
Simplicity and sincerity were her
essential characteristics, while her re-
ligious nature was of the almost ex-
tinct variety that is stepped in abid-
ing faith, constant thought of re-
ligious texts and themes, and an ex-
alted intimacy with the passages OF
the scriptures she loved to quote con-
stantly.
In conversation with the writer she
limited at the lonliness of her life
after the companionship of her hus-
band was broken by death sixteen
years before her own.
The vitality that enabled her to
keep up her activity into so ripe an
old age, was equalled by the activity
of her mind, her humor, her interest
