WHEN A MAN?comes home from work at night, he wants to find his home clean and comfortable, his supper ready, his children happy and his wife smiling a welcome to him. These are only natural feelings and when things are the reverse and he has to help do the work, he looks for the cause of the trouble and its remedy. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will help women keep strong and well.
"WITH MY HUSBAND'S HELP"?"I used Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for pains across the small of my back. They bothered me so badly that I could do my work only with my husband's help. One day we saw the 'ad' in our paper telling what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is doing for women so I began to take it. It has helped me wonderfully. I am feeling fine, do all my housework and washing for seven in the family. I had been irregular too, and now I am all right. I am telling my friends what it has done for me and am sure it will do good for others. I will stand up for Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound any time."?MRS. WM. JUHNKE, Foster, Oregon

HOWEVER BUSY?a woman is she always finds time to read the daily papers. And she may read the Bargains first and the Weather Report last, but she always reads the testimonial letters advertising Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. She wants to know what experience other women have had with this great medicine.
"WHEN MY DAUGHTER WAS THIRTEEN"?"When my daughter was thirteen and until she was fifteen she suffered every month so that she could hardly move around the house and when she would have the pains in school she would have to be carried home. She also had headache, dizzy and faint spells, and soreness in her back. I saw your advertisement in the 'Hamilton Spectator' and got Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for her. She does not have the least bit of trouble now, and we both recommend your medicine. She works in a candy-shop now and seems well and strong. I give you permission to publish this letter as a testimonial."?MRS. I.P. CLAUSE,?83 Oxford St., Hamilton, Ontario.

"WE HAVE TO DO OUR OWN WORK"?"I saw in the newspapers where Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was doing so much good to women, and as I needed something I began to take it.
