THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.

What suffering frequently result* from a mother’s ignorance; or mor* frequently from a mother’s neglect to properly instruct her daughter ! Tradition says “woman must suffer,” and young women are so taught. There is a little truth and a great deal of exaggeration in this. If a young woman suffers severely she needs treatment, and her mother should see that she gets it. Many mothers hesitate to take their daughters to a physician for examination ; but no mother need hesitate to write freely about her daughter or herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure the most efficient advice without charge. Mrs. Pinkham’s address is Lynn, Mass.

Mrs. August Pfalzgraf, of South Byron, Wis., mother of the young lady whose portrait we here publish, wrote Mrs. Pinkham in January, 1899, saying her daughter had suffered for two years with irregular menstruation had headache all the time, and pain in her side, feet swell, and was generally miserable. Mrs. Pinkham promptly replied with advice, and under date of March, 1899, the mother writes again that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound cured her daughter of all pains and irregularity. Nothing in the world equals Mr*. Pinkham’s great medicine for regulating woman’s peculiar monthly troubles.
