WEAKNESS MAY SHOW
in early girlhood and if attended to at
that time and not allowed to develop into serious troubles by
carelessness or overwork, girls will grow stronger as they grow older.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is what many mothers give
their girls in these early years.
"MY MOTHER-IN-LAW TOLD ME"
"I took Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound for female troubles. I would have headaches,
backache, pains between my shoulders and under my shoulder-blades,
and bad feelings in the lower parts on each side, in the groins. I was
sometimes unable to do my work and felt very badly. My
mother-in-law told me about the Vegetable Compound and I got some
right away. It has done me more good than any other medicine I ever
took, and I recommend it to my neighbors."

when one is young is not much to pay for good
health afterwards. Take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for
any weakness you may have. This well-known medicine is
recommended by mothers to their daughters, by sisters to one another,
and by friends and neighbors to the woman whose loved ones are far
from her when she needs them most.
"AM PERFECTLY SATISFIED"
"When my husband was called
back to England in 1914, I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound to strengthen me so that I could work. My periods were
twice a month and used to make me so weak, but I am able to do my
work now and am perfectly satisfied with your medicine. I still get it at
the chemist's, and strongly recommend it to any one I hear of suffering
as I did."

boiling water and turn the empty bowl over the butter. This will not
waste or impair the taste of the butter.
ARE YOU INTERESTED
in a letter from a woman in South Africa
who takes Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound?
"ONE OF YOUR LITTLE BOOKS"
"I took Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound for weakness and because I felt run down. I tried
a lot of medicine before I tried yours. One day I was standing on my
stoop when a boy came up to me and handed me one of your little
books. I read the book, and the next day my husband went to a chemist
and bought me a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I
have taken the medicine ever since and I feel quite strong and well now
as I am on the sixth bottle. I have written to my sister and told her all
about the wonders it has done for me, and I am quite willing for you to
use my name, as I cannot thank you enough for what it has done for
me."
