DOCTOR'S ADVICE
And is Restored to Health by
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Veg-

Euphemia, ‘Ohio. - -* Because of total
ignorance of how to care for myself
when verging into womanhood, and from
taking cold when going to school, I suf-
fered from a displacement, and each
month I had severe pains and nausea
which always meant a lay-off from work
for two to four days from the time |
was 16 years old
“1 went to Kansas to live with my sis-
ter and while there a doctor told me of
the Pinkham remedies but I did not use
them then as my faith in patent medi-
cines was limited. After my sister died
I came home to Ohio to live and that
has been my home for the last 18 years,
“The Change of Life came when 4 was
47 years old and about this time [ saw
my physical condition plainly described
in one of your advertisements. Then |
began using Lydia E. Pinkham’s Veg-
etable Compound and I cannot tell you
or any one the relief it gave me in ‘the
first three months. [It put me right
where I need not lay off every month
and during the last 18 years I have not
paid out two dollars to a doctor, and have
been blest with excellent health fora wo-
woman of my age and I cin thank Lydia
E. Pinkham 'sVegetable Compound for it.
‘Since the Change of Life is over |}
have been a maternity r ame and being
wholly self-suppo ring | cannot over
estimate the value Be ood health, 1
have now earned a comfortable little
home just by sewing and nursing. 1
have recommended the Compound to
many with good results, as it is excel.
lent to take before and after child-
birth.”’— Miss EVELYN ADELIA STEW-
