Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is a positive cure for all those painful Complaints and Weaknesses so common to our best female population. It will cure entirely the worst form of Female Complaints, all Ovarian troubles, Inflammation and Ulceration, Falling and Displacements, and the consequent Spinal Weakness, and is particularly adapted to the Change of Life. It will dissolve and expel tumors from the uterus in an early stage of development. The tendency to cancerous humors there is checked very speedily by its use. It removes faintness, flatulency, destroys all craving for stimulants, and relieves weakness of the stomach. It cures Bloating, Headaches, Nervous Prostration, General Debility, Sleeplessness, Depression and Indigestion. That feeling of bearing down, causing pain, weight and backache is always permanently cured by its use. It will at all times and under all circumstances act in harmony with the laws that govern the female system. For the cure of Kidney complaints of either sex, this compound is unsurpassed. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is prepared at 233 and 235 Western Avenue, Lynn, Mass. Price, $1.00; six bottles for $5.00. Sent by mail in the form of pills, also in the form of lozenges, on receipt of price, $1.00 per box for either. Send for pamphlet. Address as above. No family should be without Lydia E. Pinkham's Liver Pills. They cure constipation, biliousness, and torpidity of the Liver. 25c per box. Sold by all druggists.
