"ONE OF YOUR LITTLE BOOKS" "I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for weakness and because I felt run down. I tried a lot of medicine before I tried yours. One day I was standing on my stoop when a boy came up to me and handed me one of your little books. I read the book, and the next day my husband went to a chemist and bought me a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I have taken the medicine ever since and I feel quite strong and well now as I am on the sixth bottle. I have written to my sister and told her all about the wonders it has done for me, and I am quite willing for you to use my name, as I cannot thank you enough for what it has done for me." MRS. W.F. RUSH, 128 6th Avenue, Mayfair, Fordesburg, Johannesburg, South Africa.

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." ELIZABETH CAMPBELL, 13 St. Paul St., Lindsay, Ontario.
