Women and Medicine

In Europe, years ago, woman
named Hildegarde wrote a not
able book on medicinal plants. In
those days the men were too busy
botheling about dogmas and rcli-
gion and medicine, and the study
of herbs was thought beneath their
notice.
1t was the women, however,
who mostly conducted the hospi-
tails and cared for the sick, and
thus they learned much of great
value. They let the men fight out
the questions of theories.
Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, prepared almost fifty
years ago by woman, Lydia f.
Pinkham, did then, and does now,
relieve the ailments peculiar to
women. 1t is a vegetable com
pound and of great value for this
purpose. This is proven day
after day, and in your own neigh
borhood, by grateful women who
have used it.-Advertisement.
