There Is a little truth and a great deal of exaggeration in this. If a yotuig woman suffers severely she needs treat ment, and her mother should see that she gets it. Many mothers hesitate to take their daughters to a physician for examina tion : but no mother need hesitate to write freely about her daughter or horself to Mrs, Plnkham's Laboratory at Lynn, Mass., and seouro from a woman tho most efilolcnt advice with out charge. Mrs. August Pfaltgraf, of South Byron, Wis., mother ef the young lady whose portrait we here pttollsh, wrote in January, IBM, saying her daughter had Buffered for two years with irreg ular menstruation had headache all the time, aad pain in her side, feet swelled, and was generally miserable. She received an answor promptly with advice, and undor date of March, 1800, the mother writes again that Lydla E. Plnkham's Vegetable Compound cured her daughter of all pains and Irregu larity.
