tcrlals In order to avoid monotony, which
Is not conducive to good appotlto with a
dainty eater. Whllo tho menus arc seem
ingly elaborate, .the dishes aro with but

About a year ago a seventy-pound. Mis-
Mystified.
A woman is sick ; some disease peculiar to her sex is
fast developing in her system. She goes to her family
physician and tells him a story, but not tho whole story.
She hold3 something back, Jose's her head, becomes
agitated, forgets what she wants to say, and finally con
ceals what she ought to havo told, and thu3 completely
mystifies tho doctor.
Is it any wonder, theroforo, that tho doctor fails to
cure tho disease ? Still, wo cannot blame tho woman, for
it is very embarrassing to detail somo of tho symptoms of
her suffering, even to her family physician. It was for
this reason that years ago Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, at Lynn,
Mass., determined to step in and help her sex. Having had
considerable experience in treating female ills with her
Vegetable Compound, she encouraged the women of Amer
ica to write to her for advice in regard to their complaints,
and being a woman, it was easy for her ailing sisters to
pour into her ears every detail of their suffering.
In this way she was able to do for them what the phy
sicians were unable to do, simply because she had tho
proper information to work upon, and from the littlo group
of women who sought her advice years ago, a great army
of her fellow-beings are to day constantly applying for
advice and relief, and the fact that more than one hundred
thousand of them have been successfully treated by Mrs.
Pinkham during the last year is indicative of the grand
results which are produced by her unequaled experience
and training.
No physician in tho world has had such a training, or
has such an amount of information at hand to assist in tho
treatment of all kinds of female ills, from the simplest
local irritation to the most complicated diseases of the
womb.
This, theroforo, is tho reason why Mrs. Pinkham, in
her laboratory at Lynn, Mass., is able to do more for the
ailing women of America than tho family physician. Any
woman, theroforo, is responsible for her own suffering
who will not take the trouble to write to Mrs. Pinkham
for advice.
The testimonials which wo are constantly publishing
from grateful women establish beyond a doubt tho power
of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to
conquer femalo diseases.
" Dear Mns. Pinkham : I was n Buffcrcr from female weakness for
about a year and a half. I havo tried doctors nud patent medicines, but
nothing; helped me. I underwent the horrora of local treatment, but
received no bcneUt. My ailment was pronounced

pains in the womb and ovaries, and the bnckauho
was dreadful. I hnd leucorrha-a in its worst
form. Finally I grew no weak I had to keep to
my bed. The pains wero bo hard as to almost
cause spasms. When I could endure the puius no
longer, I was given morphine. My memory grew
short and I gavo up all hope of frettlnir well.
Thus I dragged along. To please myl sister I
wrote to you for advice. Your nnr.wer came, but
