Vfj skiM m't Wait Until Your Sufferings Have Driven You to Despair, With Your Nerves All Shattered and Your Courage Gone. When a cheerful, brave, light-hearted woman is suddenly plunged into that perfection of misery, the BLUES, it is a sad picture. It is usually this way: She has been feeling “out of sorts” for some time; head has ached, and back also; has slept poorly, been quite nervous, and nearly fainted once or twice; head dizzy, and heart beats very fast; then that bearing-down feeling. Her doctor says: “ Cheer up; you have dyspepsia; you will be all right soon. But she does not get “ all right.” She grows worse day by day, till all at once she realizes that a dis tressing female complaint is established. Her doctor has made a mistake. She has lost faith in him; hope vanishes; then comes the brooding, morbid,melancholly, everlasting BLUES. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound instantly asserts its curative powers in all those peculiar ailments of women, and the story recited above is the true experience of hundreds of American women, whose letters of gratitude we are constantly publishing.

Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. “ Dear Mrs. Piwkham : — I cheerfully recommended Lydia E. Pinkham’ft Vegetable Compound to my suffering sisters as a perfect medicine for all female derangements. I was trou bled with displacement of the womb and other female weakness. Had headache, backache, and such bearing-down pains I could hardly walk across the floor, and was very nervous. "A friend advised me to try your medicine, which I did, and after using the first bottle I began to improve. I took in all twelve bottles of Vegetable Compound, one box of Liver Pills, also used the Sanative Wash and was cured, and have no return of my troubles. I am as weii now as I ever was. I am more thankful every day for my cure. “ I know that your medicine will do everything that it is re commended to do for suffering women.” — Mas. Dora Anderson, North Muskegon, Michigan. ,^-N 'W “ Dear Mrs. Pinkham : — I want to tell you what your rem^ dies have done for me. Before taking them I used to have a con tinuous headache, would bo very dizzy, would have spells when everything seemed strange, and I would not know where I was. “ I went to our local doctor. He gave me some medicine, but it did not seem to do me any good, but after taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, I began to improve at once. ‘‘I can honestly recommend your remedies to all suffering women, and advise all to give it a trial.”—Mrs. Henry Sell, Van Wyck*, Wash.
