m Miss Gannon, Secy Detroit AmateurL Art Association, tells young women what to do to avoid pain and suffering caused by female troubles.

J 81 ^? for ^ PperalArealmess, and felt so weary that I had ham work to keep up. I had flhootmg pains, and was utterly miserable. In my distress I was advised to use Lydia E. Pink ham’s'Vegetable Compound, and it was a red letter day to me when I took the for at that time my restoration began. In six weeks I ’"as a woman, perfectly well in every respect I felt so elated and happy £ I want all women who suffer to get well as I did.”—Mias Guila Gannon, 859 Jones St., Detroit, Mich_ Secretary Amateur Art Association.

r shown in this

only on f the countless hundreds

young lady’s letter that Lydia E. id will certainlygFure the sufferings

one considers that Miss Gannon's letter Is itless hundreds which wo are continually

this country.

publishing in the newspapers of the great virtue of Mrs. Pinkhi

must be admitted by all; and for the absolute cure of all kinds of female ills no substitute can possibly take its place. Women should bear this important fact fn mind when they go Into a drug store, and be sure not to accept anything that is claimed to be “ just as good '• as Lydia E. Plnkham's Vegetable Compound, for no other medicine for female ills baa made so

many actual cures.

How Another Young Sufferer

Was Cured.

“Dear Mes. Pixkhav: — I must write and tell you what your Vegetable Compound has done for me. I suffered terribly every month at time of menstruation. and was not able to work. Tour medicine has cured me of xdy trouble. I felt relieved after taking one bottle. I know of n6 medicine as good as yours for female troubles.”—Miss Edith Cross, 109 Water Street, Haverhill, Mass Remember, Mrs. Plnkham's advice Is free, and all sick women are foolish If they do not aak for it. Xo other person has such vast experience, and has helped so many women. Write to-day.
