the work he did. But Burns task
was child's play compared with Mis-
trails. The Scottish poet found his

work mas produced the grandest remedy
for woman's ills that the world has
ever known. From the roots and
herbs of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham,
forty years ago, gave to womankind
a remedy for their peculiar ills which
has proved more efficacious than any
other combination of drugs ever COM

Vegetable Compound is recognize
from coast to coast as the standard
remedy for woman's ills.
