PINKH Nature and a woman's work com bined have produced th© grandest remedy for woman's ills that the world has ever known. In the good old-fashioned days of our grandmothers they relied upon the roots and herbs of the field to cure disease and mitigate suffering. The Indians on our Western Plains to-day can produce roots and herbs for every ailment, and cure diseases that baffle the most skilled physicians who have spent years in the study of drugs. From the roots and heTbs of the field Lydia E. Pinkham more than thirty years ago gave to the women of the world a remedy for their pe culiar ills, more potent and effica cious than any combination of drugs. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Is now recognized as the standard remedy for woman's ills. Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 510 N.C. St., Louisiana, Mo., writes: Complete restoration to health means so muoh to me that for the sake of other suffering women I am willing to make my troubles public. "For twelve years I had been suffer ing with the worst forms of female ills. During that time I had eleven different physicians without help. No tongue •an tell what I suffered, and at times I could hardly walk. About two years ago I wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice. I followed it, and can truly say that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re stored health anl strength. It is worth mountain! vi fold to suffering women." What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound did for Mm.
