WOMAN'S ILLS MAKE UNHAPPY
HOME

There is no question but what the ills
of women conspire against domestic
harmony. The husband cannot under
stand these troubles and the physician
finds it hard to cure them therefore the
overworked wife and mother continues

headaches and backache, fretful and
nervous.
Such women should be guided by the
experience of women whose letters we
are continually publishing in this paper.
Many of them declare that they have
been restored to health, strength and
consequent happiness by Lydia E
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound after
doctors and all other medicines had
failed to help them. 1t will surely pay
