Overworked Women. Fctigue is the natural result of hard work, but ex- haustion results from weakness. Hard work for a weak woman is traffic in flesh and blood. It makes little difference what the field of work is, whether at home or elsewhere, if there is weaknéss, work brings exhaustion. Ability to stand the strain of hard work is the lege of the healthy and robust. How our hearts ache for the sickly women that work for daily bread at some ill-paid factory employment ! How distressing also to see a woman struggling with her daily round of household duties, when her back and head are aching, and every new movement brings out a new pain ! If the mere looking on at these suffering women touches our hearts, how hopeless must life be to the wo- men themselves Their devotion to duty is a heroism which a well person cannot understand. Can these ailing, weak women, who are called upon to do work which would tire a strong man, be made to see that they can easily and surely better their condition Will not the volumes of letters from women made strong by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, conviace them of the virtues of this medicine ¢ How shall the FACT that it WILL HELP THEM be made plain ? ‘When a medicine has been successful in more than a million cases, is it justice to gourself to say, without trying it, ““I do not believe it would help me "% Surely you cannot wish to remain weak and sick and discouraged, exhausted with each day’s work. You have some derangement of the feminine organism, and Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound will help you just as surely as it has others. Read the letters from women in the opposite column of this paper, and when you go to your drug store to buy this sterling medicine, do not let yourself be persuaded to accept the druggist’s own valueless preparation because it is a few cents cheaper than Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Comipound.

Mizpah Court of the Tribe of Ben Hur Evidence of Mrs. Pinkham’s Cures. DEAR MRS. PINKHAM :—One year ago I read a letter in n&t tell- ing how much good one woman had derived from Lydia E. nmn’l Vegetable Compound. I had been sick all winter and was nearly discouraged, as the medicine the doctor gave me did me no good. I had kidney com- plaint, leucorrheea, itching, bearing-down feeling, and painful menstruation. I wrote to you deserib- ing my trouble and soon received an answer tellin; me what todo. I followed your instruections, an have taken nine bottles of Vegetable Compound and used one Sack:xge of Sapative Wash and one box of Liver Pills. I am well now, do not have those sick spells at the monthly period, but can work all day, and that I never could do until I began taking the Compound. I cannot praise the U Compound too highly. I do hope every sufferin woman will learn of your remedies and be ew a8 I have been. I wish all success to the Compound; it has dome wonders for me and I am so thankful."—MRS. GE}?IE KELLOGG, Ber- lin Heights, Ohio. ‘““ DEAR Mps. PivgmAM:—I wish to let you know that Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has cured me of painful mens tion from which I suffered terribly. I really believe that I would be insane to-day if it had not been for your medicine. I cannot praise your Com- pound enoufh, and feel that if all who suffer from female troubles would put themselves under your care and follow your advice they will ind relief.—MISS K. E. SCHOLTES, Mt. Oliver, Pittsburg, Pa. dia B, “ DEAR MRs. PINEHAM :—For eight years I have suffered with inflam- mation of the womb and bladder, profuse and painful menstruation, and ;t, times itdaet:x;m} as though I should die. I doctored most of the time, ut seeme: ail every year. A short time ago I began to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s V. le Compound, and, thanks to your wonde’rh.l medicine, I am to-day a well woman. Your medicine is woman’ best friend.”—MRS. L. L. TOWNE, Littleton, N. l;. e ¥ “ DEAR MRS, PixgmAm:—I suffered for six unable to get about at all. It seemed to me as and I did not care to. I had womb trouble, kidney trouble, Jeucorrhcea, backache, was nervous, and had no ambition. Was obliged to give up my trade. I tried three doctors, but they did me no good, so I thought I would try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. I did so, and 1 felt better after the first bottle, and by the time I had taken six I was able to resume my work again. I shall always praise your Vegetable Compound.”—MRS. MARY A. RUSSELL, Chincoteagus Island, Va. —_———— “DEAR Mps. Prvxmawm:—I was sick for seven years without any relief, although treat- ed by two of the very best doetors in this city. A few years ago I was nothing but a living skeleton. The doctor said my heart was the cause of all my sickness and that I counld only be relieved, but never get well. Sometimes I would get so exhausted and short of breath that I would not know what to do. My nerves were very weak, blood impure. Was troubled with hands and feet swelling; also had leucor- rheea. I’hlva taken six bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and feel well oncemore. . 1have gained twenty-seven pounds and am able to work all day in the store and do not feel tired when I get home at night.
