WoMAN,s DEVOTION TO HOME.

Home duties to many women appear more important than health. No matter how i'll they fell, they drag themselves through their daily tasks, overdo and pay the penalty in head aches, backache, dragglng-oo"h pains and nervousness; they become irritable, and finally discover that some form of female complaint has fastened itself upon them. When a woman gets into this condition there is one tried and true remedy made from the roots and herbs of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound, which for more than 40 years has continued its great work among women in restoring health after many other remedies have failed.
