A PROPRIETARY MEDICINE
like everything else that comes before the public, has to prove its
merits. The law of the survival of the fittest applies in this field as
in others. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been used by women
for nearly fifty years.

"I KNOW WOMEN WHO HAVE BEEN HELPED"
"My mother had taken Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and when I
needed something for my periods I took it and got good results. I
recommend it to women with any female troubles, and I know other women
who have been helped by it."
MRS. MAX RETZER,
Lumsden, Saskatchewan.

"I used to have very bad pains in my back and sides and often was not
fit for work. I tried many medicines before I took yours. I saw Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound advertised in the 'Toronto Globe,' and now
that it has helped me I recommend it to all my neighbors."

trouble and its remedy. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will help
