As labor occurs in the larger proportion of cases between 270 and
290 days from the first day of the last menstruation, 280 days is
the average. The table presents at a glance the beginning and end
of 280 days for every day in the year. Find the date of
menstruation in the upper line of the horizontal column, and the
figure below, with the corresponding month, will indicate 280 days.

=To Avoid Miscarriage.=--The pregnant woman must be very careful as the
usual time for menstruation approaches. It is then that any undue
effort, unusual lifting, excessive grief, or shock to the system, may
bring on a miscarriage. This is especially true if such a misfortune has
previously occurred.

=A Great Preventive.=--The most abundant testimony shows that Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is an almost certain preventive to
miscarriage or abortion. It gives strength to the uterine walls, quiets
the first approach of pain, controls any spasmodic contractions, and
brings about such a healthy condition that all danger is averted. I
cannot speak too strongly of this Vegetable Compound for these cases. So
many mothers have written us that they are now happy in the possession
of a child, when, for time and time again, they would have a miscarriage
at the third or fourth month.

=Keep it in the House.=--Every pregnant woman should always keep in the
house a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. She does not
know the day when she will need it, and when that day comes she will
require it promptly.

At any time when there is soreness, tenderness, unusual pain, any
unnatural discharge, or any symptom whatever that shows pregnancy is not
pursuing a perfectly natural course, she should begin to use the
Vegetable Compound at once. It should be taken in small doses two or
three times a day, just enough to produce its strengthening, quieting,
and healing effects.

If she finds she has been overdoing, has strained herself in any way, or
fears that some unfortunate result will follow an extra hard day's
labor, let her take a few doses of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
as a certain preventive to future trouble.

=The One Universal Cure.=--In other words, I repeat what I have already
said so many times, that whenever there is trouble of any kind with any
part of the female generative organs, whenever these do not act in a
perfectly natural manner,
