    Lydia E. Pinkham s Vegetable Compound is successful

    in.

    overcoming a woman s ills because it contains the tonic

    strengthening properties of good old-fashioned roots

    a:nd

    herbs, which

    act on

    the

    female organs.

    Women

    from

    aU

    parts of

    the country are

    continually testifying

    to its strength-

    enin

    g

    curative. influence.

    -

    When Lydia

    E.

    Pinkham s remedies were first intro-

    duced, their curative powers had to be proved. But the

    proof came

    and

    gradually

    the

    use of these remedies

    has

    s p r ~ d

    over the whole country. Now that hundreds of

    thousands of women have experienced

    the

    most beneficial

    effects from the use of these medicines, their value has

    become generally recognized, and Lydia E. Pinkham s

    Vegetable Compound is the

    standard

    remedy for women.

    The many convincing testimonials constantly published

    o

    ught

    to be proof enough to women who suffer from those

    distressing ills peculiar to their sex,

    that

    Lydia E. Pinlth.am s

    Vegetable Compound is the medicine

    they

    need. This

    good old root and herb remedy has proved tmequalled in

    controlling the diseases of women;

    it

    contains what is needed

    to restore a woman s health

    and

    strength .

    When

    a remedy has lived for forty years,

    stead

    ily grow

    ing

    in popularity and

    influence,

    and

    thousands upon

    thou-

    sands of women declare

    they

    owe their health to it, is it

    notreasonable to believe that it is an article of

    g ~ e t

    merit?

    .We.know of no medicine which has been so successful

    in

    relieving t h ~ sufferings of women as has Lydia

    ow to Amuse the Children

    How

    to

    amuse the children

    is one of the problems whicn

    every mother

    must

    face. A

    delightful pastime is played with

    a small feather.

    The

    children are

    grouped together and a small feather

    thrown into the air. t is

    the

    business of

    every play

    to

    blow the feather toward

    or her neighbor, for if the feather should fall on

    or near an. individual, that person goes out of the

    game. The children are not allowed to

    run

    away from

    the feather outside a definite line which may be

    marked

    with chalk. Anyone who is responsible for sending the

    feather outside of bounds also goes

    out

    of

    the

    game.

    MOTHERS AND WIVES

    of this

    country-those

    who, after months

    and

    even years

    of suffering, have been restored

    to

    health and strength

    by

    that good old-fashioned root

    and

    herb remedy, Lyd

    ia

    E. Pinkham's Vegetable

    Compound-are

    the ones who have

    spread the good news of health restored, until today there

    is hardly a town so small that

    the

    women who suffer from

    female ailments do

    not

    depend upon Lydia

    E. Pinkham'

    s

    Vegetable Compound to

    restore health.

    When I was a

    you11g

    girl I had very poor health

    an

    d

    nothing helped

    me

    until I got Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable

    Compound and began taking

    it

    . It, helped me from the

    start and since then I have

    taken

    it at differi:mt times and

    always felt better afterwards. I have also taken Lydia E.

    inkham's

    Liver Pills and think

    they

    are

    the

    be lt of .all

    liver medicines. I will always have a good word for yoUi

    Potato Race- For a

    tato race, piles of potatoes

    (10

    or

    12)

    are placed

    in

    a row,

    one pile for each player. At a

    given signal

    the players carry the

    potatoes, one at a time,

    to

    the goal.

    Three-legged Race-The contestants

    in

    the three-legged race go in pairso The right

    leg of one

    and

    left leg of

    Sack

    Race-For

    the sack race each contestant steps:

    into a sack of burlap

    and

    has

    it

    tied around his waist.

    20-yard Dash-The players start from a given point,

    each with a tumbler of water

    on

    his head,

    to

    yards away.

    The tumbler must

    remain untouched

    on the head until the goal is reached.

    I had inflammation of the womb and for three months

    menstruation came every two weeks.

    I

    thought

    I

    would

    die with piercing pains that were just like a knife through

    my

    back

    and ovaries, and after I

    had

    lost all my

    strength

    I went to bed. My doctor

    stated

    that I

    must

    have an oper=

    ation

    but

    I

    did

    not

    listen

    to

    him.

    thought

    of Lydia

    Pinkham's

    Vegetable Compound which I

    had

    read so

    much

    about,

    and

    the very first bottle gave me great relief. When

    I

    had taken six bottles

    I

    was well again and now when

    menstruate I have not the least ps.in. All women who

    ~ r k e Care

    Another simple game for

    children. T h i s must be

    played

    out

    of doors. On a flat

    piece of ground, a little pile of

    dry earth or

    sand is made.

    Take

    a small stick and in a cleft

    at the top

    fit a square of white paper

    to

    represent a

    flag. Finally push

    the

    stick down

    the

    centre

    of

    the

    mound. Each player is given a stick,

    ~ N ~ ; -

    and

    the

    object of

    the

    game is

    to

    emove a little

    of

    the earth

    from

    the

    mound without upsetting

    the

    flag.

    The last

    stages of

    the

    game are exciting, as a trifle

    will often upset

    the

    flag. The player who is responsible

    for

    the

    failure goes out of the game and

    the

    flag is set up

    again. The player who holds

    out

    to the end is the winner.

    TO HELP

    OTHER

    WOMEN

    After terrible sufferings, numberless women have used

    Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and recovered

    from ailments peculiar

    to

    their sex.

    Many

    of these, who

    cannot bear that

    other

    women should suffer as they did

    without knowing what to do, have written letters telling

    their experience,

    to

    be published

    to the

    world. These

    honest, helpful stories are constantly appearing in the news-

    papers and in our little books. Read them, ailing women,

    they are written with no motive

    but

    your good.

    I

    was weak and all run down, also

    had

    female trouble.

    I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Liver .

    Pills

    and

    soon felt a great change

    and

    got stronger.

    The

    pills were excellent for the liver. I keep them most all

    the

    time. I wish every user of Lydia

    E.

    Pinkha.m:s medicine

    as great relief as I received from it.

    The

    Magic

    Circle

    This is quite a mystery

    to the uninitiated. A circle

    is formed

    and

    two who under-

    stand the game

    take

    charge. One

    offers to leave

    the

    room

    and

    when she

    comes back she will shake hands with

    the

    person the other leader

    has shaken hands

    with after she left

    the

    room. The secret is

    simple. The person who spoke last before she

    left

    the

    room is

    the

    one chosen

    to

    be shaken

    by the

    hand

    WOMAN'S MARTYRDOM

    How many men,

    think

    you,

    have

    any idea of the

    pain

    and misery endured

    by

    women of their own households,

    who suffer from ills peculiar to

    their

    sex?

    They

    often see

    them

    smiling

    and

    trying

    to

    be

    cheerful even while racked

    with pain. f every such woman would only be guided

    by

    the experience of thousands of others who

    have

    been re-

    stored to

    health by

    that

    grand

    old remedy,

    Lydia

    E.

    I want

    to tell you how

    much

    I

    have been

    benefited

    by

    your

    wonderful medicine.

    About

    eight years ago I

    got

    in such a low state of health I was unable to keep house

    for three

    in the

    family. I had dull, tired, dizzy feelings,

    cold

    feet

    and hands nearly all

    the time and

    could scarcely

    sleep at all. The doctor said I had ulcerated womb and

    without an

    operation I would always

    be an

    invalid,

    but

    I

    told

    him

    I

    wanted

    to

    wait

    awhile. Our dealer advised my

    ,

    husband to get

    Lydia E.

    Pinkham's

    Vegetable Compound

    and

    it

    has

    entirely cured me. Now I keep house for seven

    and work in the garden some,

    too

    . I am so

    thankful

    I got

    this medicine I feel as

    though it

    saved my life and have

    recommended it to others.

    WORTH KNOWING

    Women are liable to ailments which cause constant

    ill-health and on which they may consult doctors with

    out

    much relief.

    It

    is well worth knowing that they can

    get

    at

    the nearest drug store, a simple medicine, made of

    roots and herbs, which is just what they need to recover

    health.

    That

    medicine is

    Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable

    Compound.

    Two years ago I felt so bad that I was sure I would die.

    I had hot flashes by day and I was just tired out all the time.

    and

    at

    night I was worse

    in

    every way. I began taking

    Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and I feel that it

    . strengthens me

    and

    gives me new life, both in body and

    .spirit. I had a letter from

    my

    daughter last week telling

    me that she is taking Vegetable Compound and is doing

    her own work now, and she is not troubled with

    I t

    was right

    after

    having a miscarriage that I

    started

    taking Lydia E.

    Pinkham's

    Vegetable Compound.

    I

    had

    been

    in

    very poor health for two years previous.

    Had been

    under

    a doctor s care for falling of womb and

    >vore a support for six months, but it did not seem to help

    me. Since I have taken your Compound I feel like a new

    woman. I used to suffer so with painful menstruation

    and

    now I

    am

    relieved of

    it

    for which I

    can't be too

    thank-

    ful. I am also the mother of a beautiful healthy baby.

    I

    am

    a

    graduate nurse and

    will be glad

    to

    recommend Lydia

    E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at any time.

    Ei

    ght years ago I got in an awful condition

    with

    what

    the

    doctor said

    was falling of

    the

    womb. I would

    have

    spells of bearing-down

    pains until

    he would

    have

    to give

    me morphine and when I could not stand that

    they

    would

    put hot cloths on me. The doctor said I would

    never

    be

    any better without an operation; said I would never

    have

    any

    children

    without

    it

    . A neighbor, who knew what

    your

    medicine would do, advised me to give Lydia E.

    Pink-

    ham's Vegetable Compound a trial. I did so

    and

    I have

    :never had a

    return

    of my old trouble. The next September

    I gave birth to as healthy a

    boy

    as you can find, and now I

    have

    two

    more children. I have also used Lydia E. Pink.,

    can

    retain youthful looks till the near approach of actual

    by some woman's ailment, she may expect a retu;rn of y o u t h

    ful beauty and vivacity by using Lydia E. Pinkham's

    table Compound.

    In

    the thirty

    that

    I

    been in

    were worn out. I was persuaded

    to try

    made a

    well w0man of me. So

    in

    the

    last

    few years I have

    not let

    myself run down. As soon as I feel

    bad and

    worn

    out and

    nervous I

    take

    the Pinkham medicine. I can do all

    my

    own work now, so I advise all ailing women

    to try

    The

    and

    consists of a

    line, a piano

    and

    pianist.

    Have one

    single line and .as the pianist begins

    to

    play,

    they march around

    the

    chairs. This is continued

    until

    the

    music stops, then each one scrambles for a

    chair. As there is one more child

    than

    chairs, one _

    taken

    away

    and the

    proceeds as before.

    Each

    so on,

    until there

    is only

    one chair

    and

    two

    to

    get

    it.

    The

    one who succeeds

    in

    getting

    the

    last chair is considered

    the

    winner. The game is

    made

    more exciting

    the

    music will stop.

    Have

    her stop

    in the

    middle

    of a measure one time,

    or

    play for either long

    or short

    periods.

    In this way each one has to be on

    the

    lookout all

    the

    time.

    I had female weakness from

    the

    time I was seventeen

    years old

    and

    the

    had

    and

    CO\lld not even sit

    up

    all day. My complexion was yellow

    and

    I had brown spots

    on my face

    and

    my k n seemed thick and dry. I have been

    taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Blood

    say I

    don't

    look like

    the

    may

    be any

    number and should sit in a

    circle.

    The

    leader

    starts the

    game by saying to his left-hand

    neighbor, I went

    to

    Paris

    and

    bought a pair of shears, meantime he

    begins working .

    the

    first two fingers of his

    right

    hand

    like shears.

    The

    neighbor repeats

    this sentence to his left-hand neighbor and he

    too ends by

    making his fingers go scissors fashion.

    This continues around

    the

    circle until all are doing

    it

    .

    Then the

    leader says to his left-hand neighbor,

    I

    went

    to Paris

    and

    bought a fan, fanning himself with his left

    hand

    and still making his right

    hand

    go scissors fashion.

    This goes around

    the

    circle.

    The third

    time around he says

    I went

    to

    Paris

    and

    bought a rocking-chair,

    and

    rocks

    himself bac:

    and

    forth..

    The

    fourth time around he buys

    a sewing machine and works his right foot treadle fashion.

    The

    fifth and last time he buys chewing-gum

    and

    chews

    hard

    .

    t

    is almost impossible for all the players

    to

    do all

    five things

    literary

    tribute

    previously

    paid

    by the

    husband to

    the

    wife. This was because she

    had

    been such a helpmate to him in carrying

    out

    his ideals:

    be

    such help

    restore health and strength,

    GRANDMOTHER S MEDICINES

    Our grandmothers were wise

    in the

    virtues of

    the

    herbs

    of

    the

    field. They used to gather

    and

    store roots

    and

    herbs

    and

    use them

    to

    cure

    the

    ailments

    of

    their families

    wormwood, thoroughwort, sage, rue, chamomile--the

    list might go on and on of

    the

    healing plants with which

    they made us familiar. Now their grand-daughters get

    the

    extracts from

    just

    such good old roots

    and

    herbs : om

    the

    nearest druggist, ready prepared for use. One such

    medicine which women find best for their own ailments, is

    the

    well-known Lydia E.

    Pinkham's

    Vegetable Compound.

    For

    at

    least twelve years I suffered every

    month

    , had

    cramps and backache so I could not leave my bed for a few

    days. Lydia E.

    Pinkham's

    Vegetable Compound was

    recommended

    to

    me and the first bottle did me so much

    good I kept on taking it. Now I am never troubled with

    cramps or backache,

    and

    can do all

    my

    housework.

    t

    has also done me much good otherwise. I am gaining in

    every way and feel like a different woman. I cannot praise

    your medicine too highly and recommend it

    to

    my friends/

    i'The Spanish Seamstress

    This is an jnteresting

    game and one which is not

    easy

    to

    do.

    Take

    a large

    jug

    and put it on its side in

    the

    cen.tre

    of

    the

    room. The player sits on the

    jug and extends his left leg

    at

    full length

    so that his heel rests on the floor, then he

    puts

    his right heel

    on

    the

    toe

    of his left boot.

    This leaves him teetering

    on the

    jug w)lich rolls

    must thread

    a needle.

    AN OLD PROVERB

    It used

    to

    be proverbial

    that

    every

    man

    (and it is cer-

    tainlyno less true of women) is either a fool or a physician

    at

    forty.

    This

    means

    that

    every intelligent person must

    learn so much about caring for his own health

    that

    by

    the

    time he is forty years of age he can almost be reckoned as a

    physician. Why, then, is

    there

    so

    ml lch

    talk

    by

    doctors

    against

    s e l f - m e d i ~ a t i o n ?

    ordinary ailments without calling

    WEEDS

    USED IN MEDICINE

    - is the title of a very interesting pamphlet recently circulated

    by the

    U. S. Department of Agriculture.

    t

    illustrates

    and describes

    the

    medicinal qualities of roots, leaves

    and

    flowers of

    our

    most common weeds, which are nature's

    remedies for disease. From

    the

    roots and herbs of the

    field Lydia

    E. Pinkham's

    Vegetable Compound was origi

    nated more than forty years ago, and the demand for it has

    increased until it is now recognized as

    the

    standard remedy

    for female ills.

    Before I was married I worked in the shop and got

    all

    run

    down. I was

    ll

    for nearly a ,year with stomach

    trouble, could

    not eat

    anything,

    and

    there was a gnawing

    and

    burning sensation. I doctored

    with

    three doctors

    and they did me no good and I got worse. Mother got me

    Lydia

    E. Pinkham's

    Vegetable Compound and after taking

    five bottles I was entirely well. Later, before

    my

    first

    child was born I took a number of bottles of Vegetable Com

    my

    other

    two were born I did

    not take it and

    FASHIONS, OR WOMAN S HEALTH

    The

    first thing many persons think of finding on the

    Woman's Page of a newspaper is

    the

    Fashions.

    That

    is

    not what women most need to find there. Health is the

    first thing,

    and

    many women lack it. Notes, telling how

    to preserve

    the

    health are of

    the

    greatest value and interest

    for women; and, if they are suffering from woman's ailments,

    they read

    with

    the

    most

    intense interest how other women

    got well from

    their

    ailments,

    and

    so

    they

    what made

    them well-Lydia E. Pinkham s Vegetable Compound.

    company form a cir-

    cle and with both hands

    hold

    a cord

    on

    which a ring

    has

    been

    strung. The leader

    in

    the

    centre

    tries to find the ring which is being

    passed rapidly over the cord,

    and

    is

    always concealed under someone's

    hand.

    f she strikes

    the

    hand which is holding the

    ring she joins the circle

    and

    the one who held

    the

    ring

    takes her

    place in

    the

    centre

    A FEARLESS PHYSICIAN

    Such a physician recently

    remarked: The

    wonderful

    power of Lydia

    E. Pinkham's

    Vegetable Compound over

    diseases of women is

    no

    t because

    it

    is a

    stimulant, not

    because it is a palliative,

    but

    simply because it contains

    the

    very

    elements needed

    to

    t one up

    the

    female system

    and strengthen

    the depleted organism . 0 course, that

    is so, otherwise it could not succeed as it has.

    vVhen I was

    17

    years old I began

    to menstruate and

    I

    had

    i l l

    health.

    The

    doctor said I would

    have to have

    an

    operation,

    but

    I let

    it

    go,

    and

    when I was 18 years old I

    was married. I always loved babies

    but

    the doctor said I

    would not have

    any

    for a while. One

    day

    I

    happened

    to

    find o

    ne

    of your little books and

    read

    about

    your

    medicine

    and went and

    bought

    it. After taking Lydia E.

    Pinkham's

    Vegetable Compound a short time I was well. That was

    cheaper than a doctor's bill. Now I have a big baby girl.

    when

    she ca

    me

    I was sick only a

    short

    time

    and

    my

    doctor

    was surprised.

    When

    I look

    at my baby

    I praise

    your

    medicine

    and

    when I hear of

    any

    women being sick I tell

    her

    of

    it

    . You

    can

    use

    this letter i you

    wish.

    and

    placed

    in the

    pro

    per

    position to receive the guests.

    Have o

    nly

    one chair in the room. The

    usher brings n

    the

    :first guest. The

    Governor :and

    Lady

    mimic everything their

    guest does in

    the most

    solemn manner, bowing

    if

    the

    guest does, repeating

    the

    exact words said by

    the guest, etc. This continues until

    the

    guest sits

    down in the chair or

    until

    he is discouraged at his cool

    reception and retires. As there is only one chair and the

    Governor and Lady cannot

    sit

    down, the climax of the game

    is reached and

    the

    guest is instructed to join

    the

    receiving

    party

    and

    see

    the

    fun

    the

    others make.

    Then the

    next

    guest is brought

    in

    and introduced, ani . the game continues

    until all have been received. f a guest understands

    the

    game he can have a great deal of fun with

    the

    receiving

    party

    by putting them

    through a cuurse of absurd stunts,

    as kneeling and knocking

    the

    forehead on

    the

    floor, walking

    lame, kissing them, pulling

    an

    ear, singing a song, etc., as

    the receiving party must always do as the guest does.

    Since taking Lydia

    E.

    Pinkham's Vegetable Compound

    I feel fine. I would sometimes lose my

    urine

    at

    night

    while

    asleep could

    not hold it without feeling odd and

    had

    pains

    n my head.

    A doctor told me I would need to

    doctor for a long .while.

    My

    sister advised me to

    take

    your

    medicine and I felt a change within a week's time: I

    know your medicine has surely done

    me

    good.

    You may

    publish my letter if

    it w ll

    help other women who suffer from

    bladder trouble, and I will recorrunend your medicine .at

    all times.

    SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST

    A proprietary medicine like everything else that

    before the public has to prove its merit,

    t

    has to meet

    competition. The law of

    the

    Survival of the Fittest

    applies to this as to other things, The fact

    that

    Lydia E.

    Pinkham's

    Vegetable Compound after forty years of suc

    cess is still one of

    the

    largest sellers, proves that

    it

    is a

    pendab1e,

    standard

    remedy for the ailments of womankind,

    and one in which

    they

    may have perfect confidence,

    -

    I had a

    baby and

    no doubt got around too soon

    and

    caused an inflammation of the womb. suffered a great

    deal of

    pain

    in

    those

    parts

    and

    i

    I slipped off a stone

    in

    walking out or got the least jar, it would

    hurt

    me terribly,

    I even had spasms of the womb and

    the

    doctor said I must

    go to the hospital and have an operation. I objected to

    that,

    yet

    people told me I was looking

    very

    badly. One

    day a lady calling upon me advised me to take Lydia

    Eo

    Pinkham's

    Vegetable Compound for she said she had had

    womb trouble dreadfully .and had doctored and got no good

    results,

    but

    she took

    the

    Compound

    and

    was cured. I

    began taking it at once

    and

    after the first bottle I was better,

    and

    four bottles cured me. I find

    many

    women who speak

    highly of

    the

    Compound, and I have told

    many

    of it.

    The Adv..ertising Game j

    A

    good game

    to

    test one's

    powers of observation is

    the

    advertising game.

    The

    hostess

    cuts

    out

    from magazines and news-

    papers

    the

    most striking

    adverti

    se-

    ments of soup, soap,

    gum,

    patent

    med-

    icines, cereals, automobiles, etc.,

    cutting

    off

    any lettering

    which would show the name

    of the article advertised

    and

    leaving you .

    to

    guess

    it by the

    picture.

    Make

    up a good assort-

    ment of these

    to the

    number of

    twenty, number

    each

    one carefully, and hand each guest a

    paper

    and pencil

    to

    note

    down

    their

    guesses. Give

    them twenty

    minutes

    to

    write

    their

    answers, then correct the papers

    and award

    a

    prize to the one guessing the largest number.

    VOTES OF

    WOM N

    Do

    women realize

    that

    they

    already vote in the most

    effective way on important questions? Every

    time

    a woman

    buys

    an

    article it is a vote, backed by money, for

    that

    article ; a sincere approval of

    its

    merits. So women

    have

    been voting

    on

    the question of health. vVhen they have

    suffered from

    wo:nan's

    ailments their

    vote has

    been

    over-

    whelmingly for

    Lydia E. Pinkham s Vegetable Compound,

    which they have bought and used with satisfaction.

    I would

    not

    be here today

    i

    it had not

    been

    for your

    medicine. I was suffering

    with falling of the womb, ir-

    regular menstruation and constipation.

    I had

    pains in my

    side and

    almost continuous

    headaches.

    I

    started

    to

    take

    Lydia E. Pinkham s Vegetable Compound

    and

    used

    the

    Sanative Wash, and

    now I

    cannot

    express my

    joy and

    happi-

    ness to you for the

    great

    relief they

    have

    given me. . I

    always tell the sick about your remedies.

    Plea

    se publish

    and express

    my

    gratitude to all. MRS.

    Then the leader calls Girls on the outside and

    boys on the inside and

    they

    change places.

    The

    second call is Girls march in front of boys and the

    girls step in front of their partners,

    A MEDICINE OF MERIT

    The

    great sale of Lydia E.

    Pinkham's

    Vegetable Compound

    all over this land is

    the

    result of genuine merit.

    The

    reason

    is

    that

    this good- old-fashioned root and herb medicine

    actually helps those suffering from the ailments peculiar

    to women. f it did not, would not the women have found

    it

    out

    in forty years so that few o them would

    buy

    it?

    Before taking Lydia E. Pinkha:in's Vegetable Compound

    I suffered from backache and pains n the lower part of my

    stomach

    the

    first

    and

    second

    day

    of menstruationo l

    thought I would

    try

    the Vegetable Compound and I must say

    it

    has done me a lot of good as I do not suffer now when I

    have

    boy stands behind each chair.

    The boy behind the empty chair

    starts the game by winking at one of

    the

    girls. The boy behind her chair

    must be quick enough to put his hands

    on

    her shoulders

    to

    keep her from rising and sitting

    in the empty chair. f he does not succeed, his

    chair is left

    vacant and he must wink 'em into

    it,

    the game continues. The boys

    were intensely interested when they recently visited the

    at

    Lynn,

    the

    extreme

    cleanliness and

    purity

    which prevail in

    the

    preparation

    and storing of

    Lydia E. Pinkham s Vegetable Compound.

    I am 28 years old and was sick for two years with

    n ~

    fl.ammation of the ovaries. I was run down and nervous,

    and

    had

    pains in my sides and back, was irregular, and

    every

    month

    I would have

    to

    cry I was in so much misery.

    I was so

    dizzy

    I could

    not

    walk across

    the

    floor

    and

    would

    have

    fainting spells,

    was also

    constipated

    and

    had sick

    headaches and sick stomach.

    The

    doctor said he couldn't

    do

    me

    any good,

    that

    I would have to have an operation.

    A friend told me

    to try Lydia E. Pinkham s Vegetable

    Compound

    and

    by

    the time I

    had

    taken half a

    bottle

    I was

    up and

    around,

    and

    now, after taking ten bottles I

    am

    well

    and strong, can do the housework and never get tired. I

    don't have the pains in my sides and back, don't have the

    headache at all, have a good appetite, sleep well, and have

    rosy cheeks. I tell all my friends

    that

    the Vegetable Com-

    pound will help

    them

    too.
