So says Mrs. Josie Irwin, of 325 So. College St., Nashville Tenn., of Lydia E. Pinkbham's Vegetable Compound. Never in the history of medicine has the demand for one particular remedy for female diseases equalled that at tained by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and neve: during the lifetime of this wonderful medicine has the demand for it beer $0 great as it is to-day. From the Atlantic to the Pacific, and throughout the Jength and breadth of this great continent come the glad tidings of woman's sufferings relieved Ly it, and thousands upon thousands .{ letters are pouring in from grateful women saying that it will and posi ively does cure the worst forms of smale complaints. Mrs. Pinkham invites all wo- nen who are puzzled about their health to write her at Lynn, Vass, for adviee. Such corre. spondence is seen by women only, and no charge is made.
