"FOR WOMEN'S TROUBLES"
"I saw Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound advertised for women's troubles, and when a
friend recommended it to me I tried it, and it has done me so much
good in the two years in which I have been taking it that I find I am a
different woman since then. I recommend your Vegetable Compound
as much as I can and you may use my letter as a testimonial."

HELPFUL HINTS
To keep the daily paper from blowing away
when it is left on the porch, get the carrier to snap it into a spring
clothes-pin which is tied to the railing.
WHEN A WOMAN KNOWS
that a certain medicine is good she
wants no substitute or makeshift. The women who take Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound are of this class. They know what they
want and they will take nothing else.
"COULD NOT SLEEP"
"I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound for weakness of the female organs. I had pains in the back
and bearing-down pains in the abdomen and was in a general run-down
condition. I could not sleep, rest or work, and was quite unfit to do
even light household tasks. A friend told me about your Vegetable
Compound and I in my turn truly recommend it, as my severe
symptoms vanished and I am better in every way. I do my own work,
look after my children and see to chickens, a cow, and my garden. I
also recommend it for young girls who are weak and rundown, as my
16-year-old daughter has taken it and is quite her own gay self again."

"ONE OF YOUR LITTLE BOOKS"
"I took Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound for weakness and female disorders. I was so
weak at times that I could not stand up. I had been this way for nearly
three years, and the different medicines I had taken had not done me
any good. I found one of your little books at my door one day and
thought I would give your medicine a trial. I am now on my fifth bottle
and it is wonderful the way it has helped me. I am feeling much better,
have no weak spells, and can do all my work now. I am recommending
your Vegetable Compound to all I know."

WHY ARE SOME WOMEN
happy, beloved, and successful, while
others drag out a negative existence, of no use to themselves or anyone
else? Except in a few cases the answer is to be found in a state of
freedom from the troubles known as "female." The well woman

radiates cheerfulness and serenity, while the ailing one repels you with
her despondency. It is not necessary, however, to harbor aches and
pains, and the "blues," which make one a detriment to society. The use
of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has brought relief to such
women, and given them a new lease of life.
"A GENERAL RUN-DOWN CONDITION"
"I was in a general
run-down condition, with a weak back and tired feeling, so that I did
not feel like working. My mother was taking Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and recommended it to
