The majority of mothers nowadays
overdo, there are so many demands
upon their time and strength; the result
is invariably a weakened, run-down,
nervous condition with headaches, back
ache, irritability arid depression and
soon more serious ailments develop.
It is at such periods in life that Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetablff Compound will
restore a normal healthy condition, as
it did to Mrs. Worthlino.

A MOTHER'S STRENGTH
Mother, whose hands rock the cradle, often needs more
than ordinary food to help maintain the blood-quality and
strength, and to assure adequate nourishment to ths
child. It is' as unwise for the mother, as it is dangerous
to the child, to place dependence upon alcoholic etimu
lation, for strength is not found in alcohol
of purest cod liver oil, absolutely free from alcohol, is
mother s true friend, in that it performs a two-fold
duty. ' Scott's is tonic-nourishment, particularly
fitted for the trying period of motherhood.
