THE IDEAL WIFE AND MOTHER

She Is the one who radiates health
and happiness, ever ready for work
or play, and what woman does not
want to fill this role? When women
are besiege1 by aches, pains, irregur
latities and mental depression they
not only suffer themselves but create
q gloomy atmosphere in the home.
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is the one dependable remedy
to overcome such conditions. For
three generations 1t has been restor-
ing the women Of America to health
and strength.
