Foley Cathartic Tablets are better

Constipation Is becoming one Of the
curses OF our present day civilization,
and Is especially hard on those not
physically active. With Foley Cath
artic Tablets on hand you can keep
your stomach sweet. liver active and
bowels regular. You can avoid the
congested condition that causes sick
headache, biliousness, nausea, torpid
liver and bloating gases. They cleanse
thoroughly and are mild in action,
with no nausea and no costive after
effects that make SO many cathar-
tics undesirable to take. They are a
source of comfort to stout people who
enjoy the light free feeling resulting
from their use.

WHY WOMEN
WRITE LETTERS
To Lydia E. PinIkham 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 I"
"Why do women write such letters? |"
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 E. Pink
ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has brought
health and happiness into their lives,
once burdened with pain and suffering.
It 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.
1t is impossible for any woman who
