They toil on day after day and year after year suffering with distressing weaknesses and derangements, hoping against hope that they will soon feel better but how can they hope to do good work or escape permanent invalidism? Such women are in danger of derangement of womens functions. They owe it to themselves to try that good old fashioned root and herb remedy Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound, which for more than forty years has been restoring American Women to health and strength. Here is a Notable Example Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound to see if it really would do as it was ad- -' yertised and it sure did, and more. I was weak and could not do much work, had bearing down pains and had to go to bed. I learned about the Vegetable Compound from my mother and my husband told me to get it. After taking one bottle I was able to be on my feet most of the time and do my work again. I have a baby eleven months old and I have done all my own work, even the washing and ironing since she was three weeks old.
