for wWomers Any article, whatever ita merit, must be made known to the public by means of advertising. Advertising, however, though it can do much for a thing, cannot do everything. It may create a sale for a time, but in order to insure a lasting demand the thing advertised must have solid worth. This is the case with Lydia E. Pink­ ham's Vegetable Compound. It has »olid worth. Women everywhere have learned this fact, and the result is that there is a lasting and absolutely unequaled demand for it. It has the largest sale of any remedy for female ills in the world, and this has been the case for years. the reason for this is that Mrs. Pinkham claims nothing that she is not entitled to claim. She can do all that she says she can do, and her twenty years of experience make her advice invaluable. Herexperience has been not only long but world-wide, and she has helped more women back to health than any’ one else in the world. These facts should, and do, Lave immense weight with all sensible women. Remember these are not wild statements but solid facts. Faots About the Good Being Done by Lydia E. Pinkham'» Vegetable Compound in Cases of Change of Life, Bearing - Down Pains, Etc. “I had falling, inflammation and ulceration of the womb ; backache, bearing-down pains; was so weak and nervous that I could not do my own work ; had sick headache, no appetite, numb spells, hands and feet cold all the time. I had good doctors, but none of them did me any good. Through the advice of a lady Friend I began the use of Lydia È. Pinkham's vegetable Compound, and after taking one bottle I felt greatly relieved, aud by the time I had used several bottles was completely cured, so that I could do my work again. I am now passing through the change of life and using your Compound. It helps me wonderfully. I want every suffer­ ing woman to « dow what your medi­ cine has done for me."—M bs . W. M. B ull , New Palestine, Mo. *• Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound saved my life and gave back a loving mother to eleven children, whieh was more than any doctor could have done or any other medicine in the wide world. My trouble was child­ bed fever. The third day after my babe was born I took a chill, which was followed by a high fever. I would perspire until my clothes were as wet as though dipped in a tub of water. The chills and fever kept up for three days. My daughter got me a bottle of your Compound. The fourth dose stopped the chills, and the fever also disappeared. My life was saved. My age at this critical time was forty- nine.”—L ydia E. B oughkr , Etna, Pa. Faots About Two Oases of Falling of the Uterus Recovered by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. “ I suffered for fifteen years without finding any relief. I tried doctors, but nothing seemed to do me any good. I had falling of the womb, leucorrhoea, pain in the back and head, and those bearing-down pains. One bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com­ pound did me so much good that I sent for four more, also two boxes of Liver Pills and one package of Sanative Wash. After using these I felt like a new woman.”—Mas. G. A. WlNTKB- Glidden, la.. Box 220. , “ I was suffering with falling of the womb, painful menstruation, head­ ache, backache, pain in groins, ex­ tending into the limbs; also a terrible pain at left of womb. The pain in my back was dreadful during menstrua­ tion, and my head would ache until I would be nearly crazy. Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound has given me great relief. I suffer no pain now. and I give vour medicine all the praise.”—Mas. J.P. M c -S faddkn , Rosenberg, Tex. A Grateful Woman Recommends Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to Every Wife and Mother.

I had doctored with a good physician, but I derived very little good from his treatment. After taking a few bottles of your medicine, I was able to do my work and nurse my sevcn-months'-old babe. I recommend your medictne to every wife and mother. Had I tiaie, I eould write much more in its praise. I bid you Godsj»eed in your good work.”— M rs . L. A.
