A great many women suffer with a form of indigestion or dyspepsia which does noii seem to yield to ordinary medical treatment. While the symp toms seem to be similar to those of ordinary indigestion, yet the medi cines universally prescribed do not seem to restore the patient's normal condition. Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is a kind of dyspepsia that is caused by derangement of the female organ ism, and which, while it causes dis turbance similar to ordinary indiges tion. cannot be relieved without a medicine which not only acts as a stomach tonic, but has peculiar uterine tonic effects as well. Thousands of testimonial let ters prove beyond question that nothing will relieve this distress ing condition so surely as Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com pound. It always works in har mony with the female system. Mrs. Pinkham advises sick women free. Address Lynn, Mass. A bard in this land is worth two in the Bush. To Cure a Cold in One day.
