As labor occurs in the larger proportion of cases between 270 and 290 days from the first day of the last menstruation, 280 days is the average. The table presents at a glance the beginning and end of 280 days for every day in the year. Find the date of menstruation in the upper line of the horizontal column, and the figure below, with the corresponding month, will indicate 280 days.

To Avoid Miscarriage.—The pregnant woman must be very careful as the usual time for menstruation approaches. It is then that any undue effort, unusual lifting, excessive grief, or shock to the system, may bring on a miscarriage. This is especially true if such a misfortune has previously occurred.

A Great Preventive.—The most abundant testimony shows that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is an almost certain preventive to miscarriage or abortion. It gives strength to the uterine walls, quiets the first approach of pain, controls any spasmodic contractions, and brings about such a healthy condition that all danger is averted. I cannot speak too strongly of this Vegetable Compound for these cases. So many mothers have written us that they are now happy in the possession of a child, when, for time and time again, they would have a miscarriage at the third or fourth month.

Keep it in the House.—Every pregnant woman should always keep in the house a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. She does not know the day when she will need it, and when that day comes she will require it promptly.

At any time when there is soreness, tenderness, unusual pain, any unnatural discharge, or any symptom whatever that shows pregnancy is not pursuing a perfectly natural course, she should begin to use the Vegetable Compound at once. It should be taken in small doses two or three times a day, just enough to produce its strengthening, quieting, and healing effects.

If she finds she has been overdoing, has strained herself in any way, or fears that some unfortunate result will follow an extra hard day's labor, let her take a few doses of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound as a certain preventive to future trouble.

The One Universal Cure.—In other words, I repeat what I have already said so many times, that whenever there is trouble of any kind with any part of the female generative organs, whenever these do not act in a perfectly natural manner, then the Lydia E. Pinkham Vegetable Compound is indicated; for it is the one great, universal and never-failing cure for all the affections which fall to the lot of womankind.

Makes Mother and Child Strong.—Many thousands of wives owe the fact that they are mothers to-day to this grand remedy, and thousands upon thousands of children are happy, strong and robust because their mothers were wise enough to use it. Keep it in the house. Do not be a day without it. Have it where you can reach it at any time. Put your confidence in it. 'Twill prove a never-failing friend to you in time of need.

Mothers' Marks.—There is a wide belief among women that any strong impression made at a certain time during pregnancy will exert a powerful influence in producing some defect or deformity in the child. The opposite is also held, to the effect that beautiful objects, delightful music, and everything elevating and ennobling will have a favorable effect upon the body or mind of the child.
