FOR IRREGULARITIES
"I am twenty years old and was irregular. I used to be in
bed two or three days at a time with a tired, draggy, lonely
feeling. A girl at Columbus heard my story and told me about
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I took one bottle
and noticed the change at once. With this bottle I got a
sample of Lydia E. Pinkhyrrt"'S Pills for Constipation. Now
during the time I am indisposed I take these pills. They regulate
my bowels and I do not have headaches any more. I have
also used the Sanative Wash and I recommend all these
Pinkham products."

. "COULD NOT STAND ON MY FEET"
"There is no other medicine that has done me so much good
as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I have used it
during pregnancy when I couldn't even stand on my feet or do
my housework. I just felt rundown and tired all the time, and
so weak I could feel my heart skipping beats. But the Vegetable
Compound has given me new strength and builL me up.
I shall always recommend it where needed."

FROM MOTHER OF TEN
"Your medicine helped me wonderfully. As the mother of
ten children I can say I feel as good now as I did with the
first one, and I give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
the praise. I was tired and weak from frequent child.
birth and I could tell the difference in the first Yz bottle. I am
a farmer's wife and I do the milking and some field work besides
taking care of the children. (My oldest is 16.) When I
get rundown, I take the Vegetable Compound again. Yesterday
I bought a bottle for my step-mother because I know it
will help her at the Change."
MRS. H. P. JOHNSON,
c-o Freel Hess, R. #3, Massillon, Ohio
WORKS IN A TROUSER FACTORY
"Life was a misery to me on account of female weakness. I
have worked in a trouser factory for 17 years, and it keeps me
working hard and steady eight hours a day. One day another
girl said, 'Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is what
you need.' So I got a bottle and began to take it according to
directions. It has helped me wonderfully and built me up. I
never felt better in my life. I can work every day in the factory
without my old troubles. Also every Spring, I take a,
bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Herb Medicine for a tonic.''
JULIA KLEIN,
1303 Carbon Street, Syracuse, New York
"NEVER FELT BETTER"
"Before my little son Joseph was born, I felt as if I couldn't
drag one foot after the other. I remembered how my mother
gave me Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound thirteen
years before. So I took two bottles to build me up before the .
baby came. After I came home from the hospital I took the
Vegetable Compound again. It has regulated me so that
neither the baby nor I have suffered from constipation. He is
six months old now, lively and strong and his mother never
felt better in her life."

, AFTER OPERATION
"I had to have an operation. After that I was weak and

to give up and lie down. The Vegetable Compound has
strengthened me. I can eat things now I never could before. I
have gained in weight. My muscles are firm and I do all the
work of a seven-room house and take care of my two children.
One of my friends"took the Vegetable Compound and it has
helped her too. I shall be glad to write to women who want to
know more about this good medicine."

PINKHAM'S VEGETABLE COMPOUND
"My mother gave me Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound when I came into

birth I suffered from all sorts
of troubles and I was afraid I
had tuberculosis. Nothing
seemed to help me until I
started taking your medicines.
I used Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound,
also the Sanative Wash and -~
the Herb Medicine (formerly
called Blood Medicine). It
takes time when anyone is rundown, nervous and ailing as I
was but after two years I felt completely well. I work hard
now from sun up to sun down. I have three step-children,
my own child nearly five and another baby which I never
expected to have. If any woman will write to me I can tell
her more about my case." ·

SALADS
Next time you have iceberg
lettuce to prepare, snip
out the stem and let the entire
head stand in cold water
while you are making the
salad..- The leaves will loosen
easily and be crisp and delicious.
After washing, wrap lettuce
leaves in a towel and place on
ice until needed. The towel
absorbs the moisture.
Never chop onion into a
salad. If you like the flavor,
either rub the salad bowl with onion or draw your knife
through the onion befo-re slicing the other vegetables. FRUIT SALAD
Cut orange, banana and pineapple in small pieces and
arrange on a crisp lettuce leaf. Cover with Fruit Salad Dress-ing.

NEVER WITHOUT IT
"I am never without Lydia E. Pi'nkham's Vegetable Compound
in the house. A little booklet left at my door led me to
purchase my first bottle. With its help I passed through a
critical period and never knew an ill effect. I persuaded my
son's wife to take the Vegetable Compound after sh; bst her
first baby and now she is strong and healthy and na - a dear
little daugh,ter. I have also recommended it to young girls in
my household. One of them used to have fainting spells at certain
times. When she left here to be married she was ent irely
well. I hope she has not forgotten about the Vegetable Compound.
I never destroy one of your booklets. I have a whole
library of them."

care of a 15 months old baby. I am glad to have you use my

"BEFORE MY BABY WAS BORN"
"I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound before
my baby was born and I must say it did wonders for me. I was
always tired and had no appetite and every morning I felt
sick. My mother-in-law recommended the Vegetable Compound
and after taking two bottles I felt 100% better. I was
working in an office at the time and was able to go to work
every day. My baby weighed ten pounds and is very healthy."

"A DOCTOR IN ITSELF"
1"I find that your medicine is a doctor in itself. After my
last baby ~was born two years ago, I suffered with terrible
pains in the lower part of my back and nervous headaches at
certain times. I remembered how much Lydia E. Pinkham's t·
Vegetable Compound had relieved me as a young girl. So I \
began taking it again, going by the directions on the bottle. I
feel like a different person and now I can do my housework,
take care of three children and I often sew until 11 P.M. I
have one of your calendars in my kitchen. My friends often
notice it and in this way we get talking about the Vegetable
Compound and I tell everyone how good it is."

I LYDIA E. PINKHAM'S HERB MEDICINE
is a reliable general tonic, equally good for men and women.
It takes the place of Grandma's sulphur and molasses in the
Spring and is much more pleasant to the taste. Keep it in the
medicine chest and give it to the whole family-parents and
children-at any time through the year when they need such
a medicine.
- HUMORS AND ERUPTIONS
are among the most common indications
and results of a run-down
condition. Such eruptions are un- pleasant, often embarrassing, and
give the face an unhealthy appear-ance.
They are Bot usually es-pecially
serious or dangerous. More
serious results may come, how-ever,
at any time from the accumulated
impurities which they
indicate.
GOOD HOME TREATMENT
is necessary. Eat plain, nutritious
and easily digested food. Get plenty
of sleep and fresh air. Take Lydia
E. Pinkham's Herb Medicine one-half
hour before meals. If constipa- ~ ·
tion is present-as it often is-take
Lydia E. Pinkham's Pills for Con,
stipation. The Herb Medicine works
in harmony with both the Vege-table
Compound and the Pills for t
Con~tipation. .
