To Mothers of Large Families.
I .
In this workaday world few women
are so placed that physical exei\ion
is not constantly demanded of them
in their daily life.
Mrs. Pinkham makes a special appeal
to mothers of large families whose
work is never done, and many of
whom suffer, and suffer for lack of
intelligeat aid.
To women, young or old, rich or
poor, Mrs. Pinkham, of Lvnn, Mass.,
extends her invitation of free adviee.
Oh, women ! do not let your lives be
sacrificed when a word from Mrs.
Pinkham, at the first approach of
Mrs. Carhix Belleville.
weakness, may fill your future years
with healthy joy.
“ When I began to take Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound 1 was
hot able to do my housework. I suf
fered terribly at time of menstruation.
Several doctors told me they could do
nothing for rue. Thanks to Mrs. Pink
ham’s advice and medicine I am now
well, and can do the work for eight in
the family.
“ I would recommend Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound to all
mothers with large families.” —Mrs.

Where Lace Abounds.
Brussels owns countless attractive
little shops with the most tempting
displays of lace in their windows,
many of which are devoted exclusive
ly to its sale. It Is a recognized fact
that Belgium's capital is the place to
buy laces, and one firm alone employs
twelve thousand women In lace mak
ing, but the majority of •te weavers
of this priceless, cobwebby fabric are
in Flemish and Belgian convents. No
matter how poor and shabby a woman
may be in Brussels, one may always
count on seeing her decked out in a
collarette or handkerchief of finely
wrought lace.

HOW WEAK CHILDREN ARE MADE
STRONG, VIGOROUS AND WELL
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Hallows, of Pcckhnm St., Globe Village, Fall River,
Mass., have cause to thank Dr. Greene’s Nervtira for restoring to health, and
Srobably preserving the life of their little son. Almost from infancy Everett
[allows was troubled with indigestion and nervous troubles, and nothing
seemed to help him. Finally Dr. Greene's Nervtira was recommended and tried
with success. A few bottles were sufficient to effect a cure, and to-day the little
one is enjoying the best of health. By the use of Dr. Greene’s Nervuru th®
sickly child was transformed into a happy, hearty, robust boy.
Dr. Greene's
Mervura Nerves
Thousands of other children can thank Dr. Greene and his wonderful
remedy for the strength and health they enjoy." Children to whom it is given
have less sickness, better health, better growth, and longer and more vigorous
lives. Parents should realize that it is their duty to give it to every child who
is not in perfect health. There are no diseases more dreaded by parents than
fits, epilepsy, and St. Vitus’dance. Yet no child would be troubled by them
if Dr. Greene’s Ncrvura were given when the first symptoms appear.
Ohsar/es L. Mcßay, a highly esteemed police
officer, who resides at 14 Myrtle St., New Bedford,
Mass,, sayss
“ About two years ago my little daughter became run down In health and suffered
from flt. Vitus’ dance. Soon after she was prostrated by rheumatism, which severely
affected her low limbs.
“After trying various remedies without obtaining relief, Rhe began taking Dr.
Greene’s Nervura blood aDd nerve remedy, and experienced immediate benefit. Bhe
continued its use, and after taking five bottles her rheumatism was practically cured. Her
appetite returned, her pains disappeared, she wns again üble to walk without lameness, her
general health was restored, ar.d she waß able to attend school and to play like other
children. ”
Dr. Greene’s Nervura, blood and nerve remedy, Is the prescription and
discovery of the well-known Dr. Greene, of 35 West 14th Street, New York
City, who is the most successful specialist in curing all forms of nervous
and chronic complaints, and he can be consulted in any case, free of charge,
personally or by letter.
