Among the virtues of l.ydia K. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound is its abil
ity to correct sterility in many cases.
This faet is well established as evi
denced by the above, letter and hundreds
of others we have published in these

In many other homes, once childless,
there are' now children because of the
fact that Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound makes women normal,
