on many oilier reserves of the country,
which has been explained on the basis
of climatic conditions permitting loiiiiei
use of Oregon reserves. In re-pon-e to

Nervous Women
Their Sufferings Are Ununllr
Due to Female Disorders
Perhep Unsuspectrd
A MEDICINE THAT CURE
Can we dispute
the well - known
faettluit American
women tire ner
vous V
How often dowe
hear the expres
sion, "I am so ner
vous, It, seems as if
I should fly:' or,
" Don't speak to
me," Little thing
annoy you and
make you irritable; you can't sleep,
you are unable to quietly and calmly
perform your daily tasks or care for
your children.
The relation of the nerves and gen
erative organs In woman is so close
that nine-tenths of the nervous pros
tration, nervous debility, the blues,
sleeplessness and nervous irritability
arise from some derangement of the
organism which makes her a woman.
Fits of depression or restlessness and
irritability ; spirits easily affected, so
that one minute she laughs, the next
minute weeps; pain in the abdominal
region and between the shoulders;
loss of voice ; nervous dyspepsia ; a
tendency to cry at the least provoca
tion all these point to nervous pros
tration. Nothing will relieve this distreshing
condition and prevent months of pros
tration and suffering so surely as Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Mrs. M. E. Shotwell.of 103 Flatbush
Avenue, Hrooklvn, N. Y,, writes:
"I cannot express thn wonderful relief I
have experienced by tnklruz Lvdia K. i'ink
bam's Vegetable Compound. I suffered for
a long time with nervous prostration, back
ache, headache, Ions of appetite. I craild
not sleep and would walk the floor almost
every nlt;ht.
"I had three doctors and got no better, and
life was a burden. I was advised to try
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
and it has worked wonders for me.
"I am a well woman, my nervousness is all
gone and my friends say I look ten years
younger."
Will not the volumes of letters from
women made .strong by Lydia K. Pink
liam's Vegetable Compound convince
all women of its virtues ? Surely you
cannot wish to remain sick, weak
and discouraged, exhausted each day,
when you can be as easily cured as
other women.
