Girls who work are particularly .susceptible to fe male disorders, f especially those who are obliged l to stand on their jfeet from morn- ling until night in stores or facto ries. Day in and day 'out the girl toils, and she is often the bread-winner of the family. Whether she is sick or well, whether it rains or shines, she must get to her place of employment, perform the duties exacted of her— smile and be agreeable. Among this class the symptom* of female diseases are early manifest by weak and aching backs, pain in the lower limbs and lower part of the stomach. In consequence of frequent wetting of the feet, periods become painful and irregular, and frequently there are faint and dizzy spells, with loss of appetite, until life is a burden. All these symptoms point to a de rangement of the female organism which can be easily and promptly cured by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegeta ble Compound. Miss Abby F. Barrows, Nelsonville, Athens Co., Ohio, tells what this great medicine did for her. She writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— “I feel it my duty to tell you the good Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and Blood Purifier have done for me. Before I took them I was very nervous, had dull headaches, pains in back, and periods were irregular, I had been to several doctors, and theydid me no good. “Your medicine has made me well and strong. I can do most any kind of work without complaint, and my periods are all am in better health than I ever was, and I know it is all due to your remedies. I recommend your advice and medicine to all who suffer.” It is to such girls that Mrs. Pink- ham holds out a helping hand and ex tends a cordial invitation to correspond with her. She is daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty-five years has been advising sick women free of cha-ge. Her long record of success in treating woman’s ills makes her letters of advice of untold value to every ailing working girl. Address, Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Maas.
