Mrs. Pinkham has for many years made a study of the ills of her sex ; she has consulted with and advised thousands of suffering women, who to-day owe not only their health but even life to her helpful advice. Mrs. Fannie D. Fox, of 7 Chestnut Street, Bradford, Pa., writes: Dear Mi's. Pinkham :— “ I suffered for a long time with womb trouble, and finally was told by ray physician that I had a tumor on the womb. I aid not want to submit to an operation, so wrote you for advice.

Pinkham s Vegetable Com pound is the best medicine in the world for women.” The testimonials which we are con- stantlypublishingfrom grateful women establish beyond a doubt the power of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com pound to conquer female diseases. Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham. at Lynn, Mass.

To one already enfeebled by disease, boils seem to come with more frequency, . -*«**-- causing the intensest pain and greatest danger to the already w«mk and debilitated sufferer. All skin eruptions, from the sometimes fatal car buncle to the spiteful little cat-boil, are caused by bad blood, and the only way to avoid or get permanently rid of them is to purify and build up the deteriorated, polluted blood, and counteract the humors and poisons; and nothing will do this so quickly and thoroughly as S.
