NERVOUS & HALF-SICK WOMEN
Relieved by taking Lydia E.Pinkham’s
* Vegetable Compound
These Three Letters Prove It
Lowell, Maas.—“I am sending you
• few lines to let you know what good
your medicine has done for me. I
want you to let every one know that
it has helped me in nervous troubles.
I have four children and you know
there is a lot to do where children are.
They would come in from school and
they would start telling me about
their little troubles but I could not
stand it. I had to send them away.
I could not even walk on the street
alone I was so nervous. I found one
of your books and read it and then I
saw in the paper about Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.' 1

I saw a change in myself. I was sur-
prised. The children can talk all they
want to now and it does not bother
me. I am still taking the Vegetable
Compound."—Mrs. Joseph Lemere,
84 South Street, Lowell, Mass.
Felt Like A New Woman
Springfield. Missouri.—“For four
five months I was run-down, ner-
vous, my back ached and I did not
feel like doing a thing. Sometimes
my legs ached and felt like they
would Dreak and I had a hurting in
most no time. I had hardly been able
to do my own work and after taking
the Vegetable Compound I felt like a
new woman. I recommend it to my
friends who have troubles like I did,
and hope they will find the same re-
sults."—Mrs. M. Carpenter, 607 W.

THE STORY!
People throughout this country are
giving more thought to hygiene and to
the purity of remedies on the market,
but no one doubts the purity of Doctor
l’ierce’s vegetable medicines, for they
have been so favorably known for over
fifty years that everyone knows they are
just what they are claimed to be. These
medicines are the result of long research
by a well-known physician, R. V. Pierce,
M. D., who compounded them from
health-giving herbs and roots long used
in sickness by the Indians. Dr. Pierce’s
reputation as a leading and honored
citizen of Buffalo, is a sufficient guaran-
tee for the purity of that splendid tonio
and blood medicine, the Golden Medical
Discovery, and the equally fine nerve
tonic and system builder for women's
ailments, Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip-
tion. Send 10c. for trial pkg. tablets to

Medical science, through knowledge of the intestinal

The gentle lubricant, Nujol, penetrates and softens
the hard food waste and thus hastens its passage
through and out of the body. Thus Nujol bring*

Nujol is used in leading hospitals and is prescribed
by physicians throughout the world. Nujol is not a
