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

Women who are well often ask care
the letters which the Lydia Z. Pinkham
Medicine Co. are continually publishing,
genuine" Are they truthful ="
"Why do women write such letters? 1"
In answer we say that never have we
published a fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have we published
an untruthful letter, or one without the
full and written consent of the woman
who wrote it.
The reason that thousands of women
from all parts of the country write such
grateful letters to the Lydia f. Pink
ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pink
ham Vegetable Compound has brought
health and happiness into their lives,
once burdened with pain and suffering.
1t 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.
