Women,
Remember
This
Fact
That In addressing Mrs. Pinkham
you are communicating with a woman
—a woman whose experience in treat­
ing woman's ills is greater that- that
of any living person- male or female.
A woman can talk freely to a wo­
man when it is revolting to relate her
private troubles to a man.
Many women suffer in silence and
drift along from bad to worse, know­
ing full well that they should have
immediate assistance, but a natural
modesty impels them to shrink from
exposing themselves to the questions
and probable examination of eveu
their family physician. It is unneces­
sary. Without money or price you can
consult a woman, whose knowledge
from actual experience is unequaled.
Women suffering from any form of
female weakness are invited to freely
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at
Lynn. Mass.
All letters are received, opened,
read and answered by women only.
This is a positive fact—not a mere
statement. It is certified to by the
mayor and postmaster of Lynn and
others whose letters, all in a little book,
Mrs. Pinkham has just published.
Write for a copy, it is free. Thus
has been established the eternal con­
fidence between Mrs. Pinkhamand the
women of America which has never
been broken and ’ has induced more
than 100,000 sufferers to write her for
advice during the last few months.
Out of the vast volume of experience
which she has to draw from, it is
more than possible that she has gained
the very knowledge that will help
your case. She asks nothing in re­
turn except your good-will, and her
advice has relieved thousands. Here
are some of the cases we refer to:

“ D esk M bs . P inkham —1 feel that it
is owing to Lydia E. Pinkhams Vege­

bed where I had lain for six weeks
with a good doctor to tend me twice a

“ D ear M rs . P inkham —When I first
wrote to you, I was in a very bad con­
dition. I was passing through the
change of life, and the doctors said I
had bladder and liver trouble. I had
suffered for nine years. Doctors failed
to do me any good. Since I have taken

will prove as great a blessing to them
as it has to me.”—M rs . G eo . H. J une ,
