CHILDLESS HOMES MADE HAPPY Presenceof Little Ones a Great Blessing Four Interesting Letters

Cortland, N. Y.-“1 took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound because 1 was weak and wanted to become strong and have a child. My husband read about itin the ‘Cortland Standard’ and thought it might help me. It certainly did for 1 now have a lovely boy fifteen months old who weighs forty pounds. 1 recommend Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound to my friends and you can certainly use my testimonial in your little books and in the newspapers, as it might help to make some other childless home happy bv the presence of little ones as it has done mine. — Mrs. Claude P. Canfield, 10 Salisbury St, Cortland, N. Y. Married Three Years Brooklyn, N. Y.—“l am certainly very thankful to you for your Vegetable Compound. 1 was married three years and did not have a child. My husband had often heard of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and he made me take it and I became the mother of the healthiest little boy I know. When my friends tell me their bad feelings the first thing 1 say is, “Take the Vegetable Compound. ’ I am willing for you to use these facts as a testimonial.” Mrs. ANTOINETTE MakaNo. 113 Nostrund Ave., Brooklyn. N Y.

St. Louis, Mo.—“l want to tell you what Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound did for me seven years ago. 1 was run down and hail a weakness such as women often have. I took Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and after being married sixteen years became the mother of a sweet little girl. 1 now have four lovely children—three fine boys and the little girl six years old. 1 had longed for children all the while and wept many a day and envied every woman with a child. I was 36 years old when my first baby was born. 1 ret rnmend Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound to any woman who is ailing with female weakness. ” — Mrs. J. Naumann, 1517 Benton St, St. Louis, Mo. Wai Weak and Run Down St. Louis, Mo. —‘‘My mother took Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound when I was a girl, and when I was troubled with cramps 1 took it, and later when I married I again took it to make me strong as the doctor said 1 was weak anti run down and could not have children. I took it and got along fine and now I have three girls. So you know why I keep the Compound in the house. I am a well woman and do my work and sewing too.”—Mrs. Julius Hartman, 2501 W. Dodier St., St, Louis Mo.
