I tired of cooking
I for a houseful of
hoarders, beoides caring for her
own family. The burdens of life
seemed too heavy for her failing
health. She had lost confidence in
lierself.
One day ?he began taking Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
and her general health began lo im
prove. She took it faithfully. Now
she can do Iter work without any
