little. He had not visited Meadow

his return to Boston, he had written

marriage.

"On the table beside the cake was
that well-known advertisement- the
circular boa. with this inscription.
He, poor fellow, had taken it for a
well -made rake, and elecorated his

and clever in their way, every one of

English. but when he ties it on us we
pretend not to understand him."
"Do you know of any woman who ever received any
benefit from taking Lydia E. l'inkham's Vegetable Com-
pound?"
If any woman who is suffering with any ailment peculiar
to her sex will ask her neighbors this question, she will be
urprised at the result. There is hardly a community in
this country where women cannot be found who have been
restored to health by this famous old remedy, made
exclusively iroin a simple formula of roots and herbs.
During the past 3o years we ave published thousands
of letters from these grateful women who have been cured
by Lydia E. Pinkhiun's Vegetable Compound, and never
in all that time have we published a testimonial without
the writer's special permission. Never have we knowingly
published a testitnonial that was not truthful and genuine.
Here is one just receiVed a few days ago. If anyone doubts
that this is a true and honest statement of a woman's experi-
ence with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound write
and ask her.

slater about it and she ad% imed me too take Lydia E. Pinkhant's
Vegetable C pound. Through pereonal experience I ltave
found it the beat medicine in the world for female troubles, for

Change of Life. —Mrs. Letitia Blair, Canifton, Ontario.
Any woman who is sick and suffering is foolish surely
not to giv,e such a medicine as this a. trial. Why should it
not do her as much good as it did s. Blair.
