KIDNEY JROUBLES (■creasing Among Women, Bat Sufferers Need Not Despair THE BEST ADVICE IS FREE Of all the diseases kno*vn, with which the female organism is afhicted, kidney disease is the most fatal, and statistics show that this disease ia on the increase among women. Unless early and correct treatment is applied the patient seldom survives when once the disease is fastened upon her. We believe Lydia E. Pinkham s Vegetable Compound is the most effi cient treatment for chronic kidney troubles of women, and is the only med icine especially prepared for this purpose. When a woman is troubled with pain or weight in loins, backache, frequent, painful or scalding urination, swelling of limbs or feet, swelling under the eyes, an uneasy, tired feeling in the region of the kidneys or notices a sediment in the urine, she should lose no time in commencing treatment with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, as it may be the means of saving her life. For proof, read what Lydia E. Pink- ham's Vegetable Compound did for Mrs. Sawyer. “ I cannot express the terrible suffering I had to endure. A derang ment of the female organs developed nervous prostration and a serious kidney trouble The doctor attended me for a year, but I kept getting worse, until I was unable to do anything, and I made up my mind I could not live. I finally decided to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com pound as a last resort, and I am to-day a well woman. I cannot praise it too highly, and I tell every suffering woman about my case.” —Mrs. Emma Sawyer. Conyers, Ga. Mrs. Pinkham gives free advice to women ; address in oonlideaee, Lynn, Mass. Attention.
