A prominent club woman.
Mrs. Danforth, of St. Joseph,
Mich., tells how she was cured
of falling of the womb and its
accompanying pains and misery
byLydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound.
" Deau Mns. Piseiiau: Llfo looks
dark indeed when n woman fools that
her strength is fading away and sho has
uo hopes of ever being restored. Such
was my feeling a few months ago when
I was advised that my poor health was
caused by prolapsus or falling' of tlio
womb. The words sounded like a
knell to me, I felt that my sun had set ;
but Lydia E. Plnkham's "Vege
table Compound came to mo as an
elixir of life ; it restored the lost forces
and built mo up until my good health
returned to me. For four mouths I
took the medicine daily, and each doso
added health and strength. I am so
thankful for thehelp I obtained through
its use." Mna. Florence Danfobth,
1007 Miles Ave., St. Joseph, Mich.

Catarrh of tho Stomach is Gcnoralty

Hence. Pepsin, Pancreatln and a Host
of Other Digestive Remedies
Has Been Invented.
Theso Remedies Do Not Reach tho
Seat of tho Dilficully, Which
is Really Catarrh.
EX. U. fl. Senator M. C. Ttutlcr from
South Carolina, wns Senator from
that State for two terms. Jn a
recent letter to Tho Pcruna Mcdiclno
Co., from Washington, I). C, snyB:
' can recommend Pcruna for dys
pepala nnd stomach trouble. I have
been using your medicine tor n short
period nnd I feet very much relieved.
It Is Indeed a wonderful medicine be
sides a good tonic "- At. C. Butler.
Tho only rntlonnl way to curo dys
pepsia Is to remove the catarrh. Pcruna
vim'H catarrh. Poruna docs not produco
nrtlilelnl digestion. It cureH catarrh
nnd loaves tliUHtomnch to perform diges
tion in a natural way. This Is vnstly
better unil safer than resorting to arti
ficial methods or narcotics.
Pcruna has cured mure cases of dys-
fiepsla than till other remedies com
lined, nlmply becauRo It cures catarrh
wherever located. If catarrh Is located
In tho head, Poruna cures it. If catarrh
has fastened ithelf In tho throat or
bronchial tubes, Pcrnna cures It. When
catarrh becomes settled in tho stomach,
Pcruna euros it, ns well In this locntion
as in any other.
Pcruna Is not simply a remedy for
dyspepsia. Pcruna is a catarrh remedy.
Pcruna cures dyspepsia because it is
generally dependent upon catarrh.
