Mrs. JANE CRoSSAN, 612 Pine St.,

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has helped many other
women just as it has helped Mrs.
Dakan, Mrs. Meyn and Mrs. Crossan.
Consider the statements of these
women. They give you the benefit
OF their actual experience with the
Vegetable Compound.
A nationwide canvass of women
purchasers of the Vegetable Com
pound reports that SO out of every 100
have been benefited by its use.
This is q remarkable record and
proves the dependabilityof the medi-
cine for the relief of the troubles
women often have.
For weak and rundown conditions
30 common after childbirth it is well
adapted. 1t strengthens and tones
up the system and restores normal
health.
The Vegetable Compound contains
