LYDIA E. PINKHAM
Nature and a woman’s work com- i
bined have produced the grandest; •
remedy for woman’s ills that the ! ,
world has ever known. j ^
In the good old-fashioned clays of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herns of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that baffle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their pe
culiar ills, more potent and effica
cious than any combination of drugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman’s ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 N.C. St.,
T/misiana, Mo., writes:
Complete restoration to health
means so much to me that for the sake
of other suffering W'om<-n I am willing
to make my troubles public.
“For twelve years I liad been suffer
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time I had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what I suffered, and at times I
could hardly walk. About two year«
ago I wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
I followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham’s advice re
stored health and strength. It is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women.”
What I.ydia E. Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
it will do for other suffering women.
