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 Lydia Em Pinkham’s Vegetable Compoundl -wr-fw. ■■■ lain 1““% Owing to the fart that some akerdioaJ people have from limn to time qomUonnl tfa JTs /jr JT Tk M f" Iflf if a bar I J the genuinemwa of the teatunontnl letter* wo are constant! v publishing, wo have 'f/ M ■ I ■ !■■ ■"“n rtrj.aircl with the National City Hank of Lynn.
