A WEDNESDAY,
When shown positive and reliable proof that a certain
remedy had cured numerous cases of female ills, wouldn t
any sensible woman conclude that the same remedy would
also benefit her if suffering with the same trouble ?
Here are two letters which prove the efficiency of Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
Fitchville, Ohio.—“ My daughter was all run
down, suffered from pains in her side, head and
limbs, and could walk but a short distance at a
time. She came very near having nervous
prostration, had begun to cough a good deal,
' and seemed melancholy by spells. She tried
; two doctors but got little help. Since taking
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound,
Blood Purifier and Liver Pills she has im
. proved so much that she feels and looks like
another girl.”—Mrs. C. Cole, Fitchville, Ohio.
J Irasburg, Vermont. —“I feel it my duty to
say a few words in praise of your medicine. When I began
taking it I had been very sick with kidney and bladder trou
bles and nervous prostration. Iam now taking the sixth bot
tle of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and find myself
greatly improved. My friends who call to see me have noticed
a great change.”—Mrs. A. H. Sanborn, Irasburg, Vermont.
We will pay a handsome reward to any person who will
prove to us that these letters are not genuine and truthful
—or that either of these women were paid in any way for
their testimonials, or that the letters are published without
their permission, or that the original letter from each did
not come to us entirely unsolicited.
What more proof can any one ask ?
For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound has been th® standard remedy for
female ills. No sick woman does justice to
herself wiio will not try this famous medicine.
Made exclusively from roots and horbs, and
has thousands of cures to its credit.
Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women
to write her for advice. She has
guided thousands to health free of charge.
Address Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass.

ficials of the companies at the Leering

made in the face of the 300 per eent
