I To Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co. Women who are well often ask "Are i the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co. are continually publishing, ' genuine?" "Are they truthful?"! " Why do women write such letters? " In answer we say that never have we published a fictitious letter or name, j Never, knowingly, have we published ; an untruthful letter, or one without the | full and written consent of the woman who wrote it. The reason that thousands of women from all parts of the country write such grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pinki ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pink- i I ham's Vegetable Compound ha3 brought I health and happiness into their live3, once burdened with pain and suffering. It has relieved women from some of the worst forms of female ills, from displacements, inflammation, ulceration, irregularities, nervousness, weakness, stomach troubles and from the blues.
