THE DAVENPORT NEW ERA
WHY WOMEN
WRITE LETTERS
To Lydia E. Pinkham Medi-
cine Co.
CARDANZA RELEASES
I
CANADA'SEXCELLENT jf.state news notes}]
Women who are well often ask "Are
the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkham
Medicine Co. are continually publishing,
genuine?" "Are they truthful?"
" Why do women write such letters? "
In answer we say that never have we
published a fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have wo published
nn untruthful letter, or one without the
full and written consent of the woman
who wrote it.
The reason that thousands of women
from all parts of the country write such
grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink-
ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pink-
ham's Vegetable Compound has brought
health and happiness into their lives,
once burdened with pain and suffering.
It has relieved women from some of
the worst forms of female ills, from dis-
placements inflammation, ulceration,
irregularities, nervousness, weakness,
stomach troubles and from the blues.
It is impossible for any woman who
is w o11 and who
has never suffered
to realiz.' how those
poor, suffering wo-
men feel when re-
stored to health;
their keen desire to
help other women
who nre suffering as i
they did.
The average lusty inun gels along so
well In his old world that he olieour-
nges Idleness In others.

It Is not fair to the farmers of the

a "miracle" crop. The farmers culti-
