While Change of Life is most crit
zeal period of woman's existence, the
annoying symptoms which accompany
it may be controlled, and normal health
restored by the timely use of Lydia z.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Moreover this reliable remedy con-
tains no narcotics or harmful drugs and
owes its efficiency to the medicinal ex-
tractives of the native roots and herbs
which it contains.
