1t is true that nature and woman's
work has 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
remedy for their peculiar ills which
has proved more efficacious than any
other combination Of drugs ever com
pounded, and today Lydia E. Pinkham' s
Vegetable Compound is recognized
from coast to coast as the standard
remedy for woman's ills.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, are files containing hundreds of
thousands of letters from women seek
