WWOmGfD,
Kementiseir
, This
. Fact
That in addressing Mrs. Pinkham
you are communicating with it woman
—a woman whi u experience In treat-
ing woman's ills is greater than that
of any living person male or female.
A woman can talk freely to a wo-
man when it is revolting to relate her
private troubles to a man.
Many women suffer in silence and
drift along from bad to worse, know-
ing full well that they should have
immediate assistance, but a natural
modesty impels them to shrink from
exposing themselves to the questions
and probable examination of even
their family physician. It is unneces-
sary. Without money or price you can
consult a woman, whose knowledge
from actual experience ie unequal ed.
Women suffering from any form of
female weakness are invited to freely
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at
Lynn, Mass.
All letters are received, opened,
read and answered by women only.
This is a positive fact—not a mere
statement. It is certitied to by the
mayor aud postmaster of Lynn and
others whose letters, all in a little book,
Mrs. Pinkham has ju:,t published.
Write for a copy, it is free. Thus
lias been established the eternal con-
fidence between Mrs. I'inkhamandthe
Women of America which has never
been broken and has induced more
than 100,000 sufferers to write her for
advice during the last few months.
Out of the vast volume of experience
which she has to draw from, it is
more than possible that she has gained
the very knowledge that will help
your case. She asks nothing in re-
turn except your good-will, and her
advice has relieved thousands. Hero
are some of the cases we refer to:

Two Woman Through
Change of Life and Duces
Another of Sterility.

" Dkab Mb . Pinkham t feel that it
is owing to Lydia E. i'inkham's Vege-

day. It has taken me out of a sick
bed where I had lain for six weeks
with a good doctor to tend me twice a
day. My trouble was change of life,

einechecked the flow right away. I
am now able to do all my work, and
backache is unknown. I am forty-
three years of age and enjoying good
health."—Mrs. An.mu Fosteu, Cascade

" L)kah Mrs. PrNKHAM—When I first
wrote to you, I was in a very bad con-
dition. I was passing through the
chance of life, and the doctors said I
had bladder and liver trouble. I had
suffered for nine years. Doctors failed
to do me any good, .since I have taken
Lydia E. Piukham's Vegetable Coin-
pound my health has improved very
much. 1 will gladly recommend your
medicine to others and am sure that it
will prove as great a blessing to them
as it has to me."— Mrs. Geo. II. .Tume,

Notwithstanding the fact that the board

The two family cows occupy the same
winter quarters with tho litter of or-

become an assemblage of fast friends.
Yesterday Filler went out, as usual, to

mysteries were explained—the sleekness
of tho shoats and the small quantity of
