the responsibility for her future is largely in the hands of the
mother. The mysterious change that dgvelops the thought.
less girl into the thoughtful woman should find the mother
on the watch day and night. As she cares for the physical
well-being of her daughter, so will the woman be. and her
children also. :
When the young girl's thoughts become sluggish, when
she experiences headaches, dizziness, faintness, and exhibits
an abnormal disposition to sleep. pains in the back and lower
limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude, and a dislike for the
society of other girls. when she is a mystery to herself and
friends, then the mother should go to her aid promptly. At
such a time the greatest aid to nature is Lydia E. Pink-
ham’s Vegetable Compound. It prepares the young
system for the coming change, and is the surest reliance in
this hour of trial.
The following letters from Miss Good are practical proof '
