The MAKING OF
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where
this successful remedy Is made i'm
presses even the casual looker-ou
with the reliability. accuracy, skill
and cleanliness which attends the
making Of this great medicine for
woman's Ills.
Over $4,000 pounds Of various
herbs are used annually and all
have to be gathered at the season
Of the year when their natural
juices and medicinal substances are
at their best.
The most successful solvents are
used TO extract the medicinal prop
critics from these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes
IN contact with the medicine is
sterilized and as a final precaution
in cleanliness the medicine is pas
teurized and sealed in sterile bot
ties.
It is the wonderful combination
OF roots and herbs, together with
the skin and care used in its prepa-
ration which has made this famous
medicine so successful IN the treat
ment Of female Ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use
OF Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound which we are continually
publishing attest TO its virtue,
