Thousands of Women)
Owe Their Health To
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound -+ overshadowing
indeed is the success of this great medicine. Compared with
it, all other medicines for women’s ills seem to be experiments.
Why is it so successful ? Simply because of its sterling worth-
For over forty years it has had no equal. Women for two
generations have depended upon it with confidence.
Thousands of Their Letters are on our files, which
prove these statements to be facts, not mere boasting.
Here Are Two Sample Letters:
Fall River, Mass. — “Three
years ago I gave birth to a little
girl and after she was bom I did
not pick up well. I doctored for
twomonths and my condition re
mained the same. One day one
of your little books was left at
my door and my husband sug
gested that I try a bottle of LydTa
E. Pinkhum’s Vegetable Com
pound. I started it immediately
and I felt better and could eat
better after the first bottle, and
I continued taking it for some
time. Last year I gave birth to
a baby boy and had a much easier
time as 1 took the Vegetable
Compoundfor four monthsbef ore
baby came. On getting up I had
no pains like I had before, and no
dizziness, and in two weeks felt
about as well as ever.”—Mrs.

could not work. I had treatment

I read in the papers and books
about Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vego-
table Compound and decided to
try it. The first few bottles gave
me relief and I kept on using it
until I got better and was able to
do my work. The Vegetable Com

“1 never had a chance to dg things
that 1 want to do.”
“Maybe you would not like them If
you did have the opportunity,” ven
tured the caller attempting to comfort.
“IIow do I know when I never could
find out?” asked Sophrania passionate
ly. “I’m tied down to the big old
house and I long to sell It and go to
the city In a convenient little apart
ment and—live!”
“You should have married long ago.
There’s nothing like, four youngsters
and an exacting husband to keep one
contented”—Mrs. Cooke thought of her
own. “I often wondered why you did
not marry Ed Wallis after going to
gether so long, and he was so suitable,
too.”
Sopbranla’s eyes grew steely. “Not
if he were the last man on earth! We
could not agree, Jessie, and It was all
about this house. Ed actually thought
we could live here, that I would be
satisfied to go right on in the same old
rut! I told him I wanted to move to
the city in an apartment. I found out
how stubborn he was, how selfish!”
“But rents are very high In the city.
So you should be glad that you have
this nice, roomy, comfortable place.”
“Comfortable 1” fairly shrieked So
phrania. “Yes, comfortable to you be
cause you didn’t have to climb those
ladderlike stairs, nor bump your head
every time you go down the cellar to
tend that crazy furnace that does not
heat the house no mntter what you do
to it! Nor have you ever washed
dishes three times a day at that back
breaking sink, nor have you done the
distance from the kitchen to the front
door thirty-eleven times a day, nor
had to carry lamps around—no gas
here nor electricity—nor houseclean
these high-ceilinged rooms, nor that
shed filled with all sorts of junk
Look at this big kitchen to scrub and
that Immense stove to polish!”
“Franklin seems to like it,” smiled
Mrs. Cooke, nodding toward a big
puffed-out pussy purring her loudest
before the warm range. “I must go
now, So. Maybe this house does tie
you down, living here all alone ns you
do, hut It’s a pretty, cool place In the
summer with the big lawn.”
“Yes,” answered Sophrania bitterly,
“you’ve never mowed that lawn,
enjoy a cilv park better.”
A few days later Sophrania had a
surprise. Ed Wallis, her old
heart, called. He had not been to see
her for nearly two years nnd whe
phrnnia saw his round, genial face in
the doorway something warmed her
heart and made her feel young with
happiness.
Come In, Ed,” she said almost ten
derly.
“Thank you, So; I won’t keep you
hut a few minutes,” he answered in
brisk, matter-of-fact voice. “I’ve come
on business, just business,” he empha
sized.
The warm, happy feeling vanished
and she felt tired and chilly. It took
quite an effort to ask politely, “What
is it?”
“I happened to hear that you would
like to sell your house, and you know I
always rather liked the place, and as
I am looking for a home”, (here Ed
flushed and pretended to stroke Frank
lin’s sleek back), “why, er—I thought
I’d drop in and ask you what you
would want for the place.”
Sophrania considered for a moment
and then named the sum.
“That suits me. So suppose you
come over tg Mr. Hall’s tomorrow and
we’ll fix up* the deed and settle it.
There’s just one thing (rising); could
you vacate in two weeks?”
She looked at him in surprise. How
businesslike, almost curt, lie was, as
though he were a stranger. “Yes,” she
answered, “I’ll he out in two weeks.’’
After Ed left Sophrania ran around
to Mrs. Cooke’s and told her the news.
“I wonder If he intends to rent that
old-fashioned place?” she asked, inno
cently.
“I hate to tell you so. hut Ed told
my husband that lie’s going to get
married very soon. I don’t know who
the girl is, unless it’s that pretty
school teacher that lives at his board
ing house—he’s been walking home
from church with her real often.”
For the next three days Sophrania
took the early train to the city and re
turned at dusk very tired, footsore
and disappointed. It surprised her that
a suitable apartment was so very dif
ficult to locate, that rents were beyond
her means and the rooms so very small
and often dark. She, had told the real
estate agent to hold a certain little
apartment for her; she would let him
know positively by the next day ai
noon.
It was somewhat on the outskirts of
the city, two rooms and kitchenette,
all to the rear, with a view of hun
dreds of pulley lines. It was the best
she could get for the money and she
was sure that on the morrow she
would rent it. She would have to de
cide what pieces of furniture she
would take with her and what she
would dispose of.
One thing was positive, her four-
poster bed never would go Into that
little bedroom, and she hated to sleep
in another bed 1 Not-one of the living-
room chairs could she take, for they
were all too clumsy; even her old fa
vorite wing chair would have to be
sold or stored.
And the old secretary—she could
Dot do without It, she must have ft.
hut where on earth would she place
It? Of course, the davenport, where
she often curled up with Franklin for
a nap, was quite out of question. So-
phrania sighed as she looked at the
bookcase filled with her old friends;
they, too, were on the black list.
And the kitchen, that was the worst
of all! She did not want to part with
a thing, and yet she knew that she
could take only a very few utensils to
that tiny kitchenette. There was her
doughnut kettle; it never in all the
world would go in the miniature closet
in that city flat, and to Sophrania
breakfast was not complete without
homemade fried cakes. And the three
spiders hanging in the shed—
how could she cook without them?
And her mother’s soapstone griddle,
the envy of ail her friends, could she
really lie happy without it?
“Franklin,” she picked up the furry
hall, “can’t you help us? I did not
know it would lie like this—so hard to
part with all the dear old things!
Franklin, don’t you care a rap that I
o give up my little mahogany
sowing table and the gate-legged table
from Aunt Betsy nnd so many things?
you hard-hearted pussycat, wait
till you find out what cat life is in the
city! No big garden and no shed and
cellar for a little hunting trip for
mice! And you keep right on purring,
nnd don’t care a hit? Oh, Franklin,
if you only knew how It looks inside of
me I think you’d help. I’m all torn
apart, unhappy, uncertain, afraid!”
Three days later Sophrania sent for
Ed Wnilis. lie was rather surprised
hen she opened the door to see
everything in its usual order, nothing
prepared for moving. *
“Ed,” began Sophrania, “I can’t
move, nnd it’s on account of Franklin.
I want to ask you to sell the house
hack to me!’’
“Nothing doing.” said Ed coolly,
“I’m going to keep the house.”
Sophrania turned pale. She lmd
not expected lids. “But I simply can’t
move—look here I” She marched
ahead of him to the kitchen and there
In a basket next to the stove was
Franklin, plus four little newcomers!
“Oh. you could drown them easily,”
suggested Ed blandly.
Sophrania would not answer such a
cruel remark nnd turned her back on
the speaker. But she found herself
suddenly wheeled around by a pair of
strong arms and a round, genial face
close to hers.
“So, I won’t sell y
there’s no need of
you’ll take me In.”
“And your wife, v
board here?”
“You are going to he my wife,” he
answered masterfully, “and we are
going to live right here.”
Sophrania looked at him In astonish
ment and then let her head fall com
fortably on his shoulder. “Ed, are
you saying this on the spur of the
moment, or—”
“Mrs. Cooke nnd I planned It, So,
darling. We even reckoned on your
going to the city. You see we had not
counted on Franklin helping us so
wonderfully J”
