Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. For nearly fifty years this botanic medicine has been overcoming some of the worst forms of female ills. As one woman has been benefited by Its use she has told others who have used it with the same good results; so the use of this great medicine has spread from shore to shore by the recommendation of those who have found it good. Therefore, ask your neighbor; let her tell you from experience the benefit which ailing women derive from its use.—Advertisement.
