it be when some boy opens the
letters, steals time to read a few before they are handed to some other
boy clerk to distribute (and probably read) around the office to the
various departments? It makes one almost indignant to think how light
and trivial these serious matters are so often regarded.

=You Write to a Woman.=--But when you know your letter is going to be seen
only by a woman, one who sympathizes with you, feels sorry for you,
knows all about you, how different all this seems.

=Confidence Never Violated.=--Although there are preserved in the secret
files of Lydia E. Pinkham's laboratory many hundreds of thousands of
letters from women from all parts of the world, yet in not a single
instance has the writer accused Mrs. Pinkham of violating her
confidence.

=The Largest Experience in the World.=--The one thing that qualifies a
person to give advice on any subject is experience--experience creates

been going on thirty years, day after day, and day after day, thirty
years of constant success--think of the knowledge thus gained. Surely
women are wise in seeking advice from a woman with such an
experience--especially when it is free. If you are ill get a bottle of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once--then write Mrs. Pinkham,
Lynn, Mass.

answered so many letters, or treated in any way so many patients?

=She Helps Everyone.=--No woman ever writes to her for advice without
getting help. No matter how rare you think your case may be, she is
almost certain to find letters on file asking advice for other cases of
the same kind. By special permission of the writers I print a few of the
letters showing what cures have been effected. But if the reader could
go through these secret files which are never shown, she might hour
after hour, day after day, week after week, spend her whole time reading
letters, each one telling some special story of rescue from serious
illness, intense suffering, or impending death.

=The Largest Record of Cures.=--The writers of these letters are found in
every clime and there is hardly a country in the world without its
multitude of
