Women Are Constantly Being Restored to
Health by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
"Worth mountains of gold," says one woman. Another
says, MI would not give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound for all the other medicines for women in the
world." Still another writes, " I should like to have the .
merits of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound thrown
on the sky with a searchlight so that all suffering women could
read and be convinced that there is a remedy for their ills."
We could fill a nowspaper ton times the size of this with such quo
tations taken from the letters we have received from grateful women
whose health has been restored and suffering banished by Lydia EL
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Why has Lydia E. Finkham's Vegetable Compound accomplished
such a universal success ? Why has it lived and thrived and kept on
doing its glorious work among the sick women of the world for more)
than SO years ?
Simply and surely because of its sterling worth. The reason no
other medicine has ever approached its success is plainly and sim
ply because there is no other medicine so good for women's ills.
Iloro aro two letters that just came to tho writer's desk only two
of thousands, but both tell a comforting-story to every suffering wo
man who will read thorn and bo guided by them.
FROM MRS. D. II. BROWN.
Iola, KanBaa, -" During thoChanfre
of Life I was sick for two years, lie
fore I took your medicine I could
not bear the walpht of my clothes
and was bloatcd'very badly. I doc
tored with three doctors but they
did me no pood. They said nature
must have its way. My sister ad
vised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and I purchased
a bottle, liefore it was gone the
bloating left me and I was not so
sore. .1 continued taking it until I
had taken 12 bottles. Now I am
stronger than I have been for years
and can do all my work, even the
washing. Your medicine is worth
its weight in gold. I cannot praise
it enough. If more women would
take your medicine there would be
more healthy women. You mny use
this letter for the good of others."
