WHY WOMEN
WRITE LETTERS
To Lydia E Pinkham Medi-
cine Co.

Women who nre we'll often ask "Are
,he letters which the Lydia Z. Pinkham
Medicine Co are continually publishing,
renuine?" "Are they truthful 2"
"Why do women write such letters?"
In answer we say that never have we
published fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have we published
An untruthful letter, or one without the
fuIl and written consent Of the woman
who wrote 1t.
The reason that thousands Of women
from all parts Of tho country write such
grateful letters TO the Lydia e. Pink
han Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has brought
health and happiness into their lives,
once burdened with pain and suffering.
Il has relieved women from some Of
the worst forms Of female Ills, from dis
placements. inflammation, liberation,
irregularities, nervousness, weakness,
stomach troubles and from the blues.
