WOMAN'S BEAUTY
Feminine beauty largely hinges on health .
Search history as far back as the recording eye
can reach-almost without exception, the world's
beauties were women of abou:1ding buoyant
health. The rounded figure, the glowing, richly
tinted complexion, the clear expressiYe eye, the
energetic graceful movement-all are attributes and
component parts of health.
As it is every woman's duty to be beautiful,
so should it be her constant care and ambition
to be healthy.
LYDIA E. PINKHAM'S VEGETABLE COMPOUND
preserves health. It does more. When elusive
health has all but vanished, the voice of this
wonderful medicine has power to call it back, to
enthrone it safely and securely, to protect it from
the attacks of the hosts of women's peculiar diseases.
It has proved that power beyond question.
It has fought and won the fight against disease
hundreds of thousands of times. It has relieved
more suffering women than any one medicine the
world ever knew. It is a knight of powerful
strength, ever ready to champion the cause of all
afllicted womanhood.

THE PINKHAM REMEDIES
==ARE FRIENDS OF YOURSi==
and of every woman. You will find them faithful
where all others fail, powerful when all else is
weak. You can safely value their friendship as
of first importance. They will free you from the
slavery of suffering. They will fill your physical
life with sunshine. They will brighten the future
and gild the past.
They have rescued over five hundred thousand
women from a life of pain which is worse than
death.
THEY WILL CURE YOU
If the drug store man tries to sell you something
else which he says is 1
' just as good" or
'
1 better,'' ask him these questions:
"Has the 1 just as good' cured. a half million
women?''
"Has the 1 just as good' cured O\'er half a
million women ? ''
"Has the 1 ju~t as good' cured women for a
quarter of a century?"
He'll back out if he's honest. He knows there
is no medicine for women "just as good" as
LYDIA E. PINKHAM'S VEGETABLE COMPOUND
and the other Pinkham remedies. He knows that
no other medicine has stood the test of years as
has LYDIA E. PINKHAM'S VEGETABLE CoMPOUND.
He knows that the " experiment" which he tells
you is ' ' just as good ' ' brings him more profit
than LYDIA E. PINKHAM's VEGETABLE COMPOUND
and in many cases, that's all he does know about
it. If he won 't give you the right medicine, write
to Mrs. Pinkham.

THE GRANDEST
'11te Most Satisfactoey-411~ Safest Medicine any Sick Woman

the conclusion that LYDrA E. PINKHAM'S VEGETABLE COMPOUND

sick woman can take. Five years ago female troubles and irregular
menstruation made life a burden to me; to-day al! is different,

BARRENNESS
Probably the cause of more domestic unhappiness
and discord than anything else. Statistics show
that ten per cent. of the world's women are barren ;
a condition of affairs that is wrong. The Creator
intended every wife to be fruitful, to increase and
multiply, and it is human interference alone that
prevents the fulfillment of His design.
A barren woman cannot reach the goal of every
true wife-motherhood-the bringing to life of a
human being. Sterility has its penalty: un-happiness,
a continual longing for the clinging clasp of a
little one, the gladsome sound of a tiny voice.
Many wives feel themselves incapable of becoming
pregnant. Repeated efforts have resulted only
in failure, until finally they despair of ever being
other than barren, unfruitful women. To those
women who would delight in the joys Of motherhood,
but are deprived of a fulfillment of their desire
from some supposed physical disability, LYDIA E.
PINKHAM'S VEGETABLE COMPOUND will prove a
friend indeed. It acts directly upon the generative
organs, it gives them warmth and life and by its
strengthening, healing properties it gives the ability
to perform the highest office of nature, the reproduction
of a human being.
Thousands of cases of barrenness have yielded to
the effects of this wonderful preparation ; thousands
of women credit it with giving them health aud
power that make them happy mothers.

Dta~ Mrs. Pinkham:-! consider LYDIA E. PINKHAM'S
VEGETABLE COMPOUND as a blessing to State and Nation.
I know of nothiug superior for ovarian trouble, ban·enness,
and it has prevented hundreds of dangerous operations where
physicians claimed it was the only chance to get well. Ulceration
and inflammation of the womb has be.-u cured in two or
three weeks through its use, and as I find it purely an herbal

ABSENT anc SUPPRESSED MENSES
After the menstrual flow is established, it is imperative
that it should appear every twenty-eight
days, except in cases of pregnant women and nursing
mothers, else the health will gradually break
down because of the failure of the female organs to
properly perform theirfunctions. Overwork, anxiety,
sudden fright, cold, wet feet, change of climate, etc.
are among the numerous causes of absent and suppressed
menses.
Many girls and young women find themselves
weak, with loss of vitality, and a general rnn-down
feeling, which in many cases is attributed to other
than the true cause.
It is in such cases as this that LYDIA E. PINX:IIA~'
s VEGETABLE COMPOUND prove"s its wonderful
power as a regulator; it purifies the blood, gives
strength to the entire system, and acts directly on
the menstrual organs, quickly causing them to perform
their natural functions.
If you feel in need of advice regarding your case
write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass., stating
the facts to her, she will carefully consider your
case, sending you complete directions as to the best
means of attaining a cure.

FALLING OF THE WOMB
Prolapsus uteri, or falling of the womb is a common
cause of a large part of female weakness. The
ligaments which hold the womb being relaxed, the
weight of the womb drags on them, and they being
unable in their weakened condition to support it,
become still more relaxed aud the womb is displaced,
causing the terrible bearing down pains in
the abdomen and soul-torturing back ache which
make miserable the lives of thousands of women.
Constipation, tight-lacing, excessive exercise, clothing
which drags on the hips, falling, jumping, lifting
beyond the strength, reaching above the head,
etc. are responsible for many cases of displacement
of the womb, although there are many other causes.
LYDIA E. PINKHAM's VEGETABLE CoMPOUND is a
positive remedy for falling of the womb if used
faithfully. It will heal ulceration, relie,-e inflammation
and stop bearing down pains; it strengthens
the ligaments of the womb and gradually draws the
womb into its proper place. It has cured the most
obstinate cases of falling of the womb. Mrs. Pinkham's
long experience in treating this disease
enables her to give much valuable advice to
sufferers.
Write to her fully about yourself.

CHANGE OF LIFE
An important epoch in woman's life is when she
undergoes the process of Nature known as "change
of life.'' '"this change usually occurs between the
ages of forty and fifty years, although some women
change before their fortieth year, aud others pass
considerably beyond fifty before experiencing the
change. To many women this is a dangerous
period; the gradual stoppage of the menses being
accompanied by headaches, dizziness, a sense of
suffocation, palpitation of the heart, hysterics, etc.
Menses are. irregular, sometimes being so scanty as
to be scarcely perceptible, whites taking their place ;
at other times they are profuse almost to flooding.
The stoppage of the menses causes a general disturbance
of the entire female organism.
At this time as much rest as possible should be
taken; moderate exercise in the open air and a
careful diet will be of...-alue; and most importaut of
all-the faithful use of LYDIA E. PINKHAM'S VEGETABLE
CoMPOUND. This valuable medicine is of
the greatest service to women during the serious
period of ''change of life'' because it gives them
strength to safely pass through this trying time into
an old age of happiness and health.
For any advice on the subject, a letter to Mrs.
Pinkham will receive a prompt reply.

TUMORS
A growth of unknown origin usually developing
during active menstrual life, varying in size from
small seeds to forty pounds; they are difficult to cure
by ordinary methods, and are often the cause of
serious diseases.. Profuse periodic ~ooding is one
of the most common symptoms of the existence of
tumors, while affections of the heart, bladder diseases,
ovarian troubles and other ailments are frequently
traced to the effects of these growths.
The average physician when the diagnosis is
tumor, at once recommends a surgical operation.
A dangerous undertaking at the best· and seldom
successful. While an operation will remove the
tumor, it does not remove the cause and additional
growths are as likely to form as ever.
Mrs. Pinkham never advises an operation-the
shock is too great to be borne by most women. But.
she does advise a thorough course of LYDIA E.
PINKHAM'S VEGETABLE COMPOUND, which will
dissolve and expel tumors and effect a permanent
ctue.
Grateful women everywhere testify to the power
of this wonderful medicine. Tumors of all sizes
have been removed by it ; women who looked for
nothing but a wretched existence and an early death,
have by its use recovered, and are to-day healthy
vigorous women.

COMPOUND would cure me. That same day I took my
first dose, and I kept it up faithfully until twelve bottles had
been used, the tumor disappeared, wy general health was very

GIRLS AND YOUNG WOMEN
The hard work encountered during the last year
or two of school life often causes a break down in
the health of girls who devote almost their entire
time to the closest studies, so that they mflY graduate
with a high average.
Then, school life over, the entering into society
or business, with new scenes, new faces, new duties,
is often too much of a strain on the constitution of
a young girl, and the result is she becpmes an easy
victim to many ailments : nervousness, bearing down
pains, dizziness, loss of vitality, irritability, the
"blues," etc.
These disorders, if not promptly attended to will
prov'e a serious menace to the future happiness of
the sufferer. Seemingly trifling disorders may
develop into serious diseases, and place the pall of
invalidism over what should be healthy, vigorous
womanhood.
LYDIA E. PINKHAM'S VEGETABLE CoMPOUND
builds up the nervous system and strengthens the
entire female organism, so that life holds none but
rosy views to the former sufferer. It is the one
remedy for all the diseases peculiar to women. It·
has proved its worth. It has cured thousands ; - it
will cure you.

NERVOUS PROSTRATION
A woman unfortunate enough to be afflicted with
this dread condition is indeed to be pitied. Nothing
seems too trifling to annoy and harass her ; she
loses faith in herself and her friends ; she takes no
interest in anything. Life itself seems but a weary
grind, one day as gloomy as another, and the unfortunate
sufferer imagines everyone and everything to
be in league to work her harm.
A victim of nervous prostration is a burden to
herself and to her family. Constant brooding over
her trouble causes melancholy and despondency,
and makes her cross and crabbed.
In such cases, it is well to look for the source of
the disease and to cast about for a remedy. In the
majority of cases, nervous prostration may be traced
to some internal derangement, usually to a diseased
womb. The sure--yes, the only sure cure will be
found in LYDIA E. PINKHAM'S VEGETABLE CoMPOUND,
the world's greatest remedy for all diseases
of women. Health and happiness will be yours if
you only rely on this sterling medicine. It has
lifted to the plane of health thousands of suffering
women; it will do as much for you.
Write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass. She will
advise you fully, freely.

PRE G-N AN C Y
Childbirth is an ordeal thoroughly dreaded by the
majority of women, and for good reasons. From
the first signs of pregnancy many women endure
sufferings that can scarcely be described, whilst at
the time of delivery the pain is such as to be almost
unbearable. The most common and at the same
time the most weakening complaint of pregnant
women, is ' 'morning sickness'' an uncontrollable
vomiting, which usually occurs a short time after
arising.
Such conditions are unnatural, unnecessary.
Childbirth is a work of nature and like all her
works was intended to be readily and easily performed,
but through one cause and another, Nature's
kindly intentions have been overruled, and childbirth
has become an ordeal through which women
hesitate to pass.
The woman who commences taking LYDIA E.
PINKHAM'S VEGETABLE COMPOUND at the beginning
of pregnancy will find her strength increased ;
she will be able to perform her usual duties ; her
appetite will be good, thus giving strength and
health to per unborn babe i' she will be free from the
weaknesses and annoyances of pregnancy, and last,
but most important of all, she will find the ''easy
time" at delh·ery, which is so much desired by
expectant mothers.
Mrs. Pinkham's advice to pregnant women is a
God-send; it is yours for the asking. Don't hesitate
to write.

LEUCORRHOEA.
This disease is one that but few women wholly
escape and while not serious if given proper treatment,
it is liable to become so if neglected. It is
·commonly known as ''whites'' and consists of a
watery discharge from the vagina, either immediately
before or following the monthly flow.
A weakened constitution, inflammation of the
vagina or womb, constipation, and sometimes personal
uncleanliness is the cause. Neglected, it
causes inflammation of the organs of generation,
which sometimes leads to barrenness. The cure is
.a simple one : LYDIA E. PINKHAM'S VEGETABLE
COMPOUND to strengthen and build up the system ;
LYDIA E. PINKHAM'S LIVER PILLS to properly
regulate the bowels, and LYDIA E. PINKHAM'S
SANATIVE WASH for local application to thoroughly
cleanse the vagina. A cure will quickly
follow where these directions are carried out.
NOTE :-Every woman suffering from uterine or
vaginal troubles should own and use a syringe. I
would recommend the use of Ruth Paxton's Improved
Fountain Syringe. I believe it is the only
one that will convey the solution to every part of
the vaginal cavity; the ordinary syringe is inadequate.
It can be obtained by sending to Ruth
Paxton Company, Box 2696, Boston , Mass. Price
$1.7 5 postpaid-registered letter or postal note. It
will repay you a thousand times to take the trouble
to send for it, as the recoveries are quicker when it
is used. Anyway, you should send two-cent stamp
for her little book of information. You will see by
the letters it contains how the syringe is regarded
by those who are using it.

INFLAMMATION gf the OVARIES
Usually detected by pressure in the ovarian region,
such pressure producing pains extending to the
sides and back, more frequently affecting the left side.
Bad as are the pains, they are generally increased
during the monthly period, causing much suffering.
Should the inflammation extend to the bladder,
there will be constant desire to urinate which
operation will be difficult and painful. Stoppage of
the menses, inflammation of the womb, often repeated
injections of cold water or astringents, and
blood poisoning are some of the causes of inflamed
ovaries.
A radical cure is effected in a short tit:1e by
LYDIA E. PINKHAM'S V EGETABLE COMPOUND,
used in connection with hot vaginal injections,
night and morning, the application of mustard
plasters or hot water bags, painting with iodine,
wearing of loose clothing and avoiding wet feet.
StaJ;e your case fully to Mrs. Pinkham and receive
her valuable advice, but while waiting for the
reply to your letter, be sure to take LYDIA E.
PINKHA)I'S VEGETABLE COMPOUND, SO that yout
condition will be such that a cure will be effected in
a much quicker time.

Dear Jl£rs. Pwkham.~I suffered with inflammation
of the ovaries and wou1b for over six years. Hundreds
of dollars went to the doctor and the druggist. My stster
residing in Ohio wrote me she had been cured of womb
trouble by using LYDIA E. PINKHAM'S VEGETABLE
COMPOUND, and advised me to try it. I then discon·
tiuued all other medicines and gave your Vegetable
Compound a thorough trial. Within four weeks nearly
all pai11 had left me; I rarely had headaches. and my
nerves were in a much better condition, and I was cured
iu three mo11ths, and thus avoided a terrible surgical
operation. MRS. ECKIS STEPHENSON,

PAINFUL PERIODS.
The monthly courses are dreaded by many women
because of the intense suff~ing entailed during
the period. Beginning just before the flow, the
pains increase in severity, until they amount to
positive agony, causing many sufferers to take to
their bed. They are felt in the lower part of the
abdomen, in the thighs and back. Diarrhrea and
frequent desire to urinate are not infrequent accompaniments
to menstrual flow.
Such a condition is u~natural , unnecessary.
Whatever the cause of periodical pains, whether
from neuralgia, inflammation, congestion of blood,
poorly developed genital organs, or any other cause,
LYDIA E. PINKHAM'S VEGETABLE COMPOUND will
prove a friend indeed. Used during the period
it will afford almost instant relief, and a faithful
use of it for a brief time will assure a permanent
cure and perfect freedom from subsequent attacks.
As much rest as possible, hot drinks, heat applied
to the abdomen, hot Ritz or hip baths will be found
of assistance in hastening-recovery.
Mrs. Pinkham's advice will prove illvaluable in
such cases. Tell her just how you feel and trust
her to point the way to vigorous womanhood. She
will not fail you. Thousands of women owe their
good health to her remedies and advice.

DISEASE OF THE KIDNEYS.
An affliction which gives little, if any, warning
of its presence until it has secured such a strong
hold upon its victim that the utmost haste to secure
a remedy is imperative.
Disease of the kidneys manifests itself in many
ways ; pains across the loins ; urine is scanty or
scalding and ofttimes is impeded ; a general weakness
of the system, rheumatism, etc.
If you have the least suspicion of kidney trouble,
don't hesitate a moment; take L YDIA E. PINKHAM'S
VEGETABLE COMPOUND immediately, and
write to Mrs. Pinkham at once. Mrs. Pinkham
has had unqualified success in the treatment of
kidney diseases, her vast experience covering more
cases than a hundred average practitioners would
meet with in a life time. She has record of the
most varied cases. She knows just what results
have been achieved in treating these cases, and this
knowledge she puts to use in advising those who
apply to her.
She will tell you just what to do, and her advice
in connection with her remedy will soon place you
on the road to recovery and health.
Though used for no other purpose, LYDIA E.

DYSPEPSIA ano INDIGESTION
A dyspeptic certainly drags through a weary
existence. Everything appears out _of sorts, the
whole working of nature seems awry. The overburdened,
overworked stomach rebels against further
impositions, with the result that you have a
craving appetite, yet to satisfy it means miserable
suffering; else . you have no appetite whatever and
the food you do eat lies in the stomach, a foul,
rotting mass, poisoning the entire system and causing
a vast amount of misery that could be avoided
by a proper appreciation of the duty one owes to
one's stomach.
Learn to eat slowly, to chew the food tliorougbly;
eat only at regular hours, avoid pastry and greasy
and starchy foods; learn when to stop eating;
don't guage the capacity of your stomach as you
would a bushel measure. Overfeeding bas killed
as many as bas starvation. Better, for health's
sake, to eat too little than too much. Take plenty
of outdoor exercise, bathe frequently, take LYDIA
E. PINKHAM's LrvER PILLS to regulate the bowels,
the BLOOD PURIFIER to purify the blood and the
VEGETABLE COl\IPOUND to strengthen the entire
system, and dyspepsia will flee like mist before the

AT YOUR SERVICE.
The entire knowledge and experience of the great
Pinkham system is at your service without a penny's
cost. This plan of advising women by mail requires
one of the largest forces of correspondents ever
gathered under one roof.
Letters from women all over the world are constantly
being received, answered and then filed
carefully away. Complete records are kept of all
cases, so that any desired information can be turned
to instantly, the experience gained in previous
cases often being of great assistance. in other cases.
In all that vast correspondence, none but women's
eyes scan the letters, none but women's hands write
the replies and return messages of hope and comfort.
The Pinkham policy is ''Woman to Woman,"
and it is this very policy that has won the confidence
of suffering women everywhere. A woman
can freely unburden herself to another of her own
sex, whereas in consulting a male physician, much
information that is of the utmost importance is held
back owing to natural modesty, which deters them
from openly stating their exact condition to a man.
State your troubles in every detail to Mrs-. Pinkham,
the same as you wou d to your own mother. Your
confidence will never be violated, and the full story
of your sufferings will enable her to advise you just
what course to pursue to ~ecure the best of health.

JUST ONE LAST BIT OF ADVICE
If, after reading my book. or my advertisements, and thE>
letters I publish from women who have written to me telling
how much good my medicine has done for them, you decide
to try my medicine yourself, be sure that you do not let any
one persuade you to buy some other medicine which they
say is just as good or better than mine. Just remember that
it is my medicine that you heard so much good of, and it is
my medicine that so many women are 'writing about, and
that the medicine which they want you to huy is almost
unknown, and only suggested for some personal reason. If
you believe what I tell you, if you believe he thousands of
women whose letters I am continually publishing, then
refuse to buy anything but LYDIA E. PINKHAM'S VEGETABLJ ~
COMPOUND, or her remedies.
