Have you ever thought why it is t.iat so
many women or girls rather walk for an hour
than stand still for ten minutes?
It is because most women suffer from some
derangement of their delicate organism, the
discomfort frorn which is less trying when
they are in motion than when standing.
So serious are these troubles and so dangerous
health that the laws in some states com
pel employers to provide resting places for
their female employees.
But no amount of law can regulate
the hard tasks of these women. Cus
tomers are exacting, and exneot the J
saleslady to be always cheerful

"Dear Mrs. I'inkham: For years I had suffered with painful menstruation
every month. At the beginning of menstruation it was impossible for me tc
stand up for more than Cve minutes, I felt so miserable. One day a little book
of Mrs. Pinkham's was thrown into my house, and I sat right down and
read it. I then got some of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
Liver Pills.
"I can heartily say that to-day I feel like a new woman; my monthly'

for what it has done for me."
