WOMEN'S
STOMACH TROUBLES
The Great Woman's Medi.
cine Often Just What
Is Needed.

We are so used to thinking of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound as
a remedy exclusively for female ills that
we are apt to overlook the fact that it
is one of the best remedies for disorders
of the stomach.
For stomach trouble of women it is
especially adapted, as it works in COM
plete harmony with the female organ
ism, since it contains the extracts of the
best tonic roots and herbs. 1t tones up
the digestive system, and increases the
appetite and strength. Here is what
one woman writes showing what this
medicine does:-
Newfeld, N. W am so pleased
to say | can recommend Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound as an eco
nomical and beneficial remedy in most
ailments pertaining to women At
least | found it so by only taking two
bottles. | had indigestion in a bad
form and | am now feeling in the best
of health and owe it all to lydia +.
P~inkham's Vegetable Compound. -
Mrs. BURR WILLIAMS, r. ID. No.29, New
field, NY.
Many women suffer from that "all
gone feeling" and "feel so faint, 3"
while doing their work. Ten chances
to one their digestive system is all out
of order. A tablespoonful Of Lydia F..
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound after
each meal should completely remedy this
condition in a few days.
