First.-- Almost every operation in our hospitals performed upon women becomes necessary through neglect of | such symptoms as backache, irregular and painful periods, displacements, pain' | in the side, burning sensation in the stomach, bearing down pains, nervous- ness, dizziness and sleeplessness. Second.--Themedicine most success- ful in relieving female ills is Lydia E. Compound. It regulates and strengthens the organism; it overcomes disease. For forty years it has been making women strong and well, relieving back- ache, nervousness, ulceration and in- flammation, weakness, displacements, | irregularity and periodic pains. It has also proved invaluable in prepar- ing for childbirth and the Change of Life. Third.- The great number of unso- licited testimonials on file at the Pink- ham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass., many of which are from time to time published by permission, are proof of the value of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com- pound, in the treatment of female ills. Fourth, --Every ailing' woman in the United States is cordially invited to write to the Lydia E.
