WOMAN'S ILLS MAKE
UNHAPPY HOME

There is no question but what the
ills of women conspire against do
nestle harmony. The husband can
not understand these troubles and the
physician finds it hard TO cure them;
therefore the overworked wife and
mother continues to drag around day
an and day out with headaches and
backacheS. fretful and nervous.
Such women should be guided by
the experience Of women whose let
tiers we are continually publishing in
this paper. Many of them declare
that they have been restored to
health, strength and consequent hap
mess by Lydia +. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound after doctors and
Ill other medicines had failed to help
them. 1t will surely pay women who
suffer from such ailments to try it.
