DYSPEPSIA OF WOMEN
Mrs E oraasnaw 01
Guthrie Okla cured of a severe
case by Lydia E Pinkbams
Vegetable Compound
A great many women suffer with a
form of indigestion or dyspepsia which
does ncA seem to yield to ordinary
medical treatment While the symp
toms seem to be similar to those of
ordinary indigestion yet the medi
cines universally prescribed do not
seem to restore the patients normal
condition
Mrs Pinkham claims that there
is a kind of dyspepsia that is caused
by derangement of the female organ
ism and which while it causes dis
turbance similar to ordinary indiges
tion cannot be relieved without a
medicine which not only acts as a
stomach tonic but has peculiar uterine
tonic effects as well
Thousands of testimonial let
ters prove beyond question that
nothing -will relieve this distressing-
condition so surely as iLydia
