Overworked Women.
Fatipiir is tbo natural rosult of hard work, but ex
hauMtion results from weakness.
Hard work for a weak woman is traffic in flesh ami
blood.
It makes little difference what tho field of work is,
whether at home or elsewhere, if there is weakness, work
brings exhaustion.
Ability to stand the strain of hard work is the privi
lege of the healthy and robust.
How our hearts ache for tho sickly women that work
for daily bread at some ill paid factory employment!
How distressing also to see a woman struggling with
her daily round of household duties, when her baric and
head are aching, and every new movement brings out a
new pain !
If tho more looking on at these suffering women
touches our hearts, how hopeless must life be to the wo
men themselves ?
Their devotion to duty is a heroism which a well
person cannot understand.
Can these ailing, weak women, who are called upon
to do work which would tire a strong man, bo made to see
that they can easily and surely hotter their condition I
Will not the volumes of letters from women made
strong bv Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound,
convince them of the virtues of ibis medicine i
How shall the FACT that it WILL HELP THEM bo
mod*- plain ?
When a medicine has boon successful in more than a
million cases, is it justice to yourself to say, without trying
it, “ I do not believe it would help Tno
Surely you cannot wish to remain weak and sick and
discouraged, exhausted with each day’s work. You have
gome derangement of the feminine organism, and Lydia
E. Pinkham’ft Vegetable Compound will help you just
as surely as it has others.
Read tho letters from women in the opposite column
of this paper, and when you go to your drug store to buy
this sterling medicine, do not let yourself be persuaded to
accept the druggist's own valueless preparation because it
is a lew ccuts cheaper than
