yet It vviifl with a heating hentt that he
listened to each football, fcaiful of her

Fatigue is the natural result of hard work, bat ex
haustion results from wealcness.
Hard work for a weak woman is traffic in flesh and
blood.
It makes little difference what the field of work is,
whether at home or elsewhere, if there is weakness, work
brings exhaustion.
Ability to stand the strain of hard work is the privi
lege of the healthy and robust.
How our heads ache for tho sickly women that work
for daily bread at some ill-paid factory employment !
How distressing also to see a woman struggling with
her daily round of household duties, Avhon her" back and
head are aching, and every new movement brings out a
new pain !
If tho mere looking on at theso suffering women
touches our hearts, how hopeless must liio bo to the wo
men thomselves ?
Their devotion to duty is a heroism which a well
person cannot understand.
Oan theso ailing, weak -women, who aro called upon
to do work which would tiro a strong man, bo mado to see
that they cnn easily and surely better their condition ?
Will not tho volumes of letters fiom women made
strong by JLyclia E. JLMnkhaiu's Vet;ilio Compound,
convince them of tho values of this medicine (
How shall tho FACT that it WILL HELP THEM bo
made plain 1
When a modicine h.ir been successful in moro than a
million cases, is it jusrii'o to yourself to say, without trying
it, "I do not believe it would help me "J
Suroly you cannot wish to remain weak and sick and
discouraged, exhausted with each day's work. You luvo
some dorangomont of tho i'ominino organism, and JLydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will help you just
as suit ly as it has others.
Kcid tho letters from women in tho opposite column
of tins paper, and when you go to your drug store to buy
this storJing medicine, do not lot yoiirsolf bo persuaded to
accept tho druggist's own valueless preparation because it
is a tew cents cheaper than
