will do them good. If you

Mrs. Mary Lister of

testimony to tlio valuo
of Lydia E. IMnkliiun's
Vetrotnblo Coniliound
to carry women safoly through tho Change of Life. She says :
"It is with pleasure that I writo to you thanking you for what your
wonderful medicine has done for mo. I was passing tnrough tho Chango of
Life and had a displacement and weakness so that 1 could not stand on my
feet and other annoying symptoms. A friend told me about Lydia E. Pink
ham'B Vegetable Compound and tho first bottle helped mo. so I got more.
It cured mo and I am now doing my housework. Your medicine is certainly
woman'B friend nndyoumay uso tills tcsticonial as you choose." Mrs. Mauy
Lister, COS Frank Stroot, Adrian, Mich,
It is said that middle age is the most trying period in a woman's life, and
owing to modern mothods of living not ono woman in a thousand passes through
this perfectly natural chango without experiencing very annoying oymptoms.
ThosoBmothoringspelts, tho dreadful hot flashes that send tho blood rushing
to tho head until it seems as though it would burst, and tho faint feeling that
follows, as if tho heart were going to stop, those Binklngor dizzy spells are all
symptoms of a nervous condition, and indicate tho need lor a special medicine.
Lydia E. Pinkham'o Vegetable Compound is n root and herb medicine espe
cially adapted to act upon tho feminine system. It acta in such a manner
as to build up the weakened nervous system und enables a woman to pass
tills trying period with tho least possible annoying Bymptoms.
Women everywhere should remember that most of tho commoner ailments
of women are not tho surgical ones they are not caused by Berious displace
ments or growths, although the symptoms may be thusntno. and tliat is why
so many apparently serious ailments readily yield to Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, as it acta as a natural restorativo and often prevents
Berious troubles.
