be called to even the slightest sign Of
improvement. 1t must be encouraged
in every possible way.
The suffering child often has to
learn correct habits OF breathing.
Sometimes the trouble is due partly
to adcnoids, defective teeth or enlarg.

the child soon learns TO talk properly.

There is hardly a neighborhood in

Lydia f. Pinkhams Vegetable Com
pound. For more than forty years
this botanic remedy has been over
coming some of the worst cases of
female ills. As one woman has found
help she has told another, who has
used it with the same result; so the
use of this great medicine has spread
from shore TO shore by the recon-
OF those who have found it
good. Therefore, ask your neighbor,
let her tell you from experience the
benefit which ailing women derive
rom the use of this famous medicine.
