Yet a canvass was recently made among more than that number of women who had used Lydia L. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound for fem- inine ailments. The result proved that ninety-eight out of every hundred reported benefit from its use. This is remarkable evidence of the power of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege- table Compound over the ills of fom- ankind, and should influence ecvery dick and ailing woman to try it.
