A GOOD THING

For Women to Remember. That in addressing Mrs. Pinkham they are communicating with a woman—a woman whose experience in treating woman’s ills is greater than that of any living physician—male or female. A woman can talk freely to a woman when it is revolting to relate her private troubles to a man—besides, a man does not understand —simply because he is a man. Many women suffer in silence and drift along from bad to worse, knowing full well that they should have immediate assistance, but a natural modesty impels them to shrink from exposing themselves to the questions and probable examinations of even their family physician. It is unnecessary. Without money or price you can consult a woman, whose knowledge from actual experience is greater than any local physician living. The following invitation is freely offered; accept it in the same spirit: Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to freely communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass. All letters are received, opened, read and answered by women only, thus has been established the eternal confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken and has induced more than 100,000 sufferers to write her for advice during the last four months. Out of the vast volume of experience which she has to draw from, it fs more than possible that she has gained the very knowledge that will help your ease. She asks nothing in return except your good-will, and her advice has relieved thousands. Surely any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish if she does not take advantage of this generous offer of assistance.—Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., Lynn, Mass.
