Indigestie q is known as one of the first troubles to develop from accumulated acids in the stomach. That explains a whole lot. aches, loss of energy, constipation rheu- matism, skin diseases and a rundown system are such usual complaints with many of It Is because SO few of us are tree from some form of stomach dis order.

 It is remarkable how many cases havebeenreported similar to this one. Many mothers are left in weakened and rundown condition after child birth, and for such mothers the care of the baby is well-nigh impossible. Not only is it hard for the mother, but the child itself will indirectly suffer.
 Lydia E. PinlKham's Vegetable Com pound is an excellent tonic for the mother both before and after child birth. Itis prepared from medicinal roots and herbs, and can be taken ln safety byEErsing mothers.
