RECORB OF A
GREAT MEDICINE
Doctors Could Not Help Mrs,
Templeton — Regained
Health through Lydia E.
Pinkham's Compound.
Oh, here's to the girl and the flag we love-
And nothing our love can sever.
No matter the trail of cur wayward feet.
Our girl and our flag—forever!
She sits on her throne in the mottled shade,
A. crown on her curly tousles,
And over her gaily the old flag floats
In a flutter of love's carousals!
And always I see them with tear-dimmed eyes;
The maid and the flag but never
For me shall exist but these —
Our girl and our flag—forever!

Hooper, Nebraska. —"I am very glad
to tell how Lydia E.Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has helped me. For five > ears
I suffered from female troubles so I was
scarcely able to do my work. I toorc doc-
tors' medicines and used local treatments
but was not helped. I had such aw ful
bearing down pains and my back was so
weak I could hardly walk ar.d could not
ride. I often had to sit up nights to sleep
and my friends thought I could not live
long. At my request my husband got
me a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg-
etable Compound and I commenced to
take it. By the time I had taken the
seventh bottle my health had returned
and I began doing my washing and was a
well woman. Atone time for three weeks
I did all the work for eighteen boarders
with no signs of my old trouble return-
ing. Many have taken your medicine
after seeing what it did for me. I would
not take $1000 and be where I was. You
have my permission to use my name if
it will aid anyone."—Mrs. Susie Tem-
pletox, Hooper, Nebraska.
ThePinkham record is a proud and peer-
less one. It is a record of constant vic-

ble Compound has re-
storedhealth to thou-
sands of such suffer-
ing women. Why
don't you try it if you
needsuch a medicine?
