ASK YOUR FRIEND

There ie hardly a neighborhood in
any city, town or hamlet in the United
States where women cannot be found
who have derivec oenefit from Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
For more than forty years this botanic
remedy has been overcoming some OF
the worst cases of female ills. As one
woman has found help she has told
another, who has used ii with the
same result; so the use of this great
medicine has spread from shore to
shore by the recommendation of those
who have found it good. Therefore,
