KIDNEY JROUBLES increasing Among Women, But Sufferers Need Mot Despair THE BEST ADVICE IS FREE Of all tlie diseases known, with which the female organism isaMbited, kidney disua.se. is the most fatal, and Statistics show that this disun&u is on the increase among women. Unless early and correct treatment 13 applied the patieut seldom survives when once the disease is fastened upon her. \Ve believe Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the most effi? cient treatment for chronic kidney tronble? of women, and is tlie only med? icine especially prepared for this purpose. When n woman is troubled with pain or weight in loins, backache, frequent, puinfut or scalding urination, swelling of limbs or feet, swelling under the eves, an uneasy, tired feeling in tlie region of Hie kidneys or notices a sediment in tlie urine, she should lose no time in commencing treatment with Lydia E. Pinkham'f, Vegetable Compound, as it may be tlie means of ?aving her life. For proof, rend what Lydia E. Pink bn hi's Vegetable Compound did for Mrs. Sawyer. '? t cannot express the terrible suffering I bad to endure. A deraiigemeiilof the female organs developed nervous prostration und a serious kidney trouble. The doctor attend.-. 1 mu fdr ft year, but 1 kept getting worso, until 1 was unable to do anything, and 1 made up my ndn.l I cuuld not live.
