American Women
Are Careless

Women are too apt to overes-
innate their strength and overtax
it. When feeling well they take
unnecessary chances, which in the
long run cause much pain and
trouble. Wet feet, exposure to
cold, lifting heavy burdens and
overwork will often develop trou-
bles which cause no end of suf-
fering. Lydia e. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound is the unfailing
remedy in such cases. Thousands
of American women will testify
to this fact who have regained
health and strength by its use. II
you are suffering it will pay you
to give it a fair trial. (Rdv)
