THE CLINTON NEW ERA,
How to Feel Well During 'Middle
Life Told by Three Women Who
Leaned from Experience.
The Change of Life is a most critical period of a
woman's existence, and neglect of health at this time invites
disease and pain. Wornet'_ everywhere should remember
'that there is no other remedy known to medicine that will
so successfully carry women through this trying period as -
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound; made from
native. roots and herbs. Read' these letters:—
Philadelphia Pa.—"I started the Change of Life
five years ago. 1z always had a headache and back-
ache with bearing down pains and I would have
heat flashes very bad ab times with dizzy spells and
nervous feelings. After taking Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound I feel litre a new person and
am in better health and no more troubled with
the aches and pains I had before I took your won-
derful remedy. I recommend it to my friends for I
cannot praise it enough."—Mrs. MARG•ABET GRAss-
arerr, 759 N. Ringgold. St, Philadelphia, Pa.
Beverly, Mass.—"I took Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, for nervousness and dyspepsia when I was
going through the Change of Life. I found it very helpful and T
have always spoken
y spo 0 ofit to o
other women who suffer as I did and
have had them liry it and they also have received
good results from it."—Mrs. Guo/on A. Dimmers,
17 Roundy St., Beverly, Mass.
Erie, Pa. —"I was in poor health when the
Change of Life tar
T
started with me and Doli di.
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound; or I think 'I
should not have got over it as easy as I did. Even
now if I do not feel good I take the Compound
and it restores mo in a short time. I will praise
your remedies to every woman for it may help
them as it has me." --Mrs. E. K.IssraNG, 331 East
24th St, Erie, Pa.
No other medicine has been so successful in relieving woman's
suffering as has Lydia E. Pinkham's 'Vegetable Compound.
Women may receive free and Isolpfni adviee.by writing the Lydia
E. Piukham Medicine Co., Lynn,1l ass. Such letters are received
and answered by women only and held in strict confidence.
them.
1t is one of the weaknesses of man-
kind that it is forever establishing
rules, programs, formulae. They
serve their purposes for the guidance
of ordinary minds, But Ilse pioneers
of thought ride roughshod thru the
rules. They gain t the. cud, they de-
sire by refusing to be directed by what
some one else has thought before
them, by what teachers have insisted
upon as binding. 13y such short cuts
as Edison made in measuring the cubic
capacity of the Tight bulb do they earn
their titin to greatness.
