A MEDICINE OF MERIT

A proprietary medicine, like every
thing else that comes before the pub
lie. has to prove it's merits. The
law of the survival of the fittest an
plies in this field as in others. The
reason for the tremendous success
of Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is because it has been full
filling real human need for forty
years. SO that today thousands of
American women owe their health
and happiness to the marvellous power
of this famous medicine, made from
roots and herbs-nature's remedy for
woman's ills.

years. Some women pay large sums to

fool the world about their age. But
no one is deceived. The more you try
to hide your age, the more it shows.

age back, and that is health. Sickness
