How Women
in Their 40's
Can Attract Men
Here’s good advice for a woman during her
change (usually from 38 to 62), who fears
she’ll lose her appeal to men, who worries
about hot flashes, loss of pep, dizzy spells,
upset nerves and moody spells.
Get more fresh air, 8 hrs. sleep and if you
need a good general system tonic take Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, made
yrpecially for women. It helps Nature build
up physical resistance, thus helps give more
vivacity to enjoy life and assist calming
Jittery nerves and disturbing symptoms that
often accompany change of life. WELL
WORTH TRYING!
