mother of four children and have suf-
fered with female
trouble, backache,
nervous spells and
the blues. My chil-
dren's loud talking
and romping would
make me so nervous
I could just tear
every thing to pieces
and I would ache all
over and feel so sick
that I would no t
want anyone to talk
to me at times. Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills re-
stored me to health and I want to thank
you for the good they have done me. I
have had quite a bit of trouble and
worry but it does not affect my youth-

look so young and well 2' I owe it all
to the Lydia E. Pinkham remedies."
