When a woman is almost distracted from overwork her home is in disorder, crying children, and on top of all is suffering from backache, bearing down pains, or some other form of feminine ills, then she should remember that hundreds of women in just her con dition have been restored to health and regained their youthful strength by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and not rest until she has given it a fair trial. Proof that it Restored the Health of These Two Women Cairo, 111. " Some time ago I got so bad with female trouble that I thought I would have to be operated on. I had a bad displacement. My right side would pain me and I was so nervous I could not hold a glass of water. Many times I would have to stop my work and sit down or I would fall on the floor in a faint. I consulted several doctors and everyone told me the same but I kept fighting to keep from having the operation. I had read so many 'times of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and it helped my sister so I began taking it. I have never felt , better than I have since then and I keep house and am able to do all my work. The Vegetable Compound is certainly one grand medicine. Mrs. J. R. Matthews, 3311 Sycamore Street, Cairo, 111 ' Chattanooga, Tenn. -"I used Lydia E, Hnkhain's Vegetable Compound before my baby came wlym I could no longer keep up. It strengthened my back and relieved me of the ill effect which so of len develops at such times. That was my iirst experience with tho Vegetable Compound. Years after wards I took it during the Change of life and got along so well I scarcely ever had to lie down during the day and seldom had dizzy, fruiting spells. I am now well and str : ., can do all my housework with per. -t t ease and it is a comfort to nie to be able to say to other suffering women ' take Lydia E. Hnkham's medicine and be strong.' I will be glad to have you use my name if it will lie the means of helping any one." Mrs. R. A. Faikbcrn, 605 Orchard Knob Ave.,Chattanooga,Tenn.
