The MAKING OF
4 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 impresses
ever the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds Of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered ct the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal sub
stances are at their best
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties 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 pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
1t is the wonderful combination of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
so successful in the treatment OF
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound which we are continually pub
fishing attest to its virtue.
