THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY. DECEMBER 11. 100a

Worn Out."
The story is the same, no matter what her station in life
may be.
If she is one of the favored daughters of wealth,
If she belongs even to the realm of the “ well-to-do,*
Or-
If she belongs to the unnumbered thousands who must
work in order to live—
The story is iust the same j all suffer from about the
same cause, and in this suffering “peculiar to women,” all
reach the same level, and all are of the §arne family.
When a woman is nervous and irritable, head and back
ache, feels tired all the time, loses sleep nnd appetite, has
[tains in groins, beariug-down sensation, whites and irregu
arities, she is not “ worn out.” but feels as if she were. •
Such symptoms tell her that a womb trouble is imminent,
and sh cannot act too promptly if she values her future
comfort and happiness.
The experience and testimony of somo of the most noted
women of America goto prove, beyond a question, that Lydia
E. l’inkham’s Vegetable Compound will correct all such
trouble at once by removing the cause and restoring the
organs to a healthy and normal condition. If in doubt, write
Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass., as thousands do.
MRS. KELLOGG'S STATEMENT.
“One year aeo I read a letter in a paper tailing how much good one
woman had derived from Lydia E. PlnUliam’ti Vegetable Coin*
—tund. I had been aick all winter, and was nearly
lseouraged. a* the medicine tin* doctor gave me did mo
no good, i had kidney complaint, leuoorrhtca. itching,
bearing-down feeling, ami painful menstruation. I
wrote to Mrs. Pinkham, describing my trouble, and
noon received an answer telling me what to do I fol
lowed her instruction** and have taken nine bottles of
Vegetable Compound and used one package of San
ative Wash and one box of Liver Pills. 1 am well
now. do not have thoae sick spells at the monthly
period, but ran work all dav. ami that 1 never eoultl
do until I began taking the Compound. 1 cannot
praise the Compound too highly.
1 do hope every suffering woman will learn of
the Pinkham remedies and be cured as I have been.
I wish all success to the Compound; it has done wonder* for me, and I
am so thankful "—Mrs Genie Kellogg. Berlin Heights. Ohio.
