An Endless Chain.

Here is the endless chain of rec
concentrations for Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. There
is hardly a town or village in the
United States from which women
have not written letters telling. of
health restored by Lydia z. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. If you
are suffering from some female
trouble, ask your neighbor if she
has ever used Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. In many
cases you will find that she has
regained health by its use and will
recommend ID to you.-Ady.
