THREE EPOCHS IN
A WOMAN'S LIFE
MRS> ELVA BARBER EDWARDS
There are three critical stages in a
woman's life which leave their mark
.in her career. The first ot these stages
is womanhood, or the change from a
care free girl to budding womanhood,
The second is motherhood, and the
third is Change of Life.
Perils surround each of these stages,
and most of the misery that comes
to women -through ill health dates
from one or another of these im-
should remember that Cydla
B. pf ok ham's Vegetable Compound
made from native roots and Herbs has
thousands of young girls over
•he critical period of puberty, has
prepared mothers for childbirth, una
in "later years carried them safely
through the change of life more suc
cessfully than any other remedy in
the -vorld. Thousands of testimonials
from grateful persons, two of. which
are here published, substantiate this
fact beyond contradiction.
Mrs. George Walters of Woodlawn,
111. writes i
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—
"I feel it my duty to tell you of the good
Lydia E. Piukham's Vegetable Compound
his done me in preparing for childbirth.
Tfter suffering and losing my children a
friend advised me to try your valuable me
dicine, and the result was that I had very
ittle inconvenience, a quick recovery and
During its long record of more than thirty years its long list of
actual cures, entitles Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to
the respect and confidence of every fair minded person.
