WOMEN
Everywhere
Praise Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound as the
Greatest Remedy for
Woman's Ills.

New Haven, Conn. -" For two years
| suffered with u female weakness,
pains in my back and painful periods,
and was so weak and tired that l was
not able to do my work. A friend told
me to use Lydia Il. Pinkham' Vegetable
Compound and it gave me great relief.
My pains left me and am now able to
do my work and feel fine. You can pub
lish my testimonial and dif your Vegetable
Compound does others as much good as
it has me | will be very much pleased.
Mrs. CHARLES L. MORGAN, 81 Sea
Street, New Haven, Conn.
The reason Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound is so successful is
because it contains the curative,
strengthening properties of good old
fashioned roots and herbs, which act
directly on the female organism.
There are women everywhere who
long for children in their homes yet are
denied this happiness on account Of
some functional disorder which in most
cases would readily yield to Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Such women should not give up hope
until they have given this wonderful
medicine trial, and for special advice
write Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co, :,
Lynn, Mass. The result of 40 years
experience is at your service.
