Fibroid Tumors Cured.
A distressing case of Fibroid Tumor,
vhich baffled the skill of Boston doctors.
Mrs. Hayes, of Boston, Mass., in
the following letter tells how she was
cured, after everything else failed, by
Lydia E Pinkhamfs Vegetable Compound.
Mm. Hayes' First Letter Appealing to Mrs. Plnkliam for Help:
"Pkaii Mns. I'rvKTTAM: I have lx!cn under Boston doctors' treat
ment for a long time w ithout any relief. Ihey tell me I have a fibroid
tumor. I cannot sit down without jreat pain, and the soreness extends
op rev I L.v. i r ''v.vn pains both hack and front. My ab
domen is s'.viiUi'ii,a.: l 1 h,io h:id fl .wir.g spells for three years. My ap
petite is not jiuod. I ca:::mr Ak or be on my feet for any "length of time.
"The symptoms of Fibroid Tumor given in your little book ac
curately descrilw my rase, so I write to you for advice." (Signed) Mrs.
E. F. Hayes, 252 Dudley St., (Iloxbury) "boston, Mass.
Note the result of Mrs. Pink ham's advice al
though she advised Mrs. Hayes, of Boston, to take
her medicine which she knew would help her
her letter contained a mass of additional instruc
tions as to treatment, all of which helped to bring
about the happy result
"Deaii Mns. I'ixkham: Sometime ago I wrote to you describ
ing my symptoms and ask"d your advice. You replied, and I followed
all d!: 2 cirsfully, and to-day I am a well woman.
" The use of Lydia E. IMnkham's Vegetable Compound entirely
expr lied the tumor and strengthened my whole system. I can walk
miles now.
"Lydia E. Plnkham's Vegetable Compound is worth five dol
lars a drop. I advise all women who are aftlicted with tumors or
female trouble of any kind to give it a faithful triaL" (Signed) Mas.
E. F. ILayes, 252 Dudley St, (Roxbury) Boston, Mass.
Mountains of gold could not purchase audi testimony or take
the place of Uie health and happiness which Lydia K. Pinkham'a
Vegetable Compound brought to Mrs. Hayes.
Such testimony should be accepted by all women as convinclnjr
evidence that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound stands
without a peer as a remedy for all the distressing ills of women ; all
ovarian troubles; tumors; inflammations; ulceration, falling and dis
placements of the womb; backache; irregular, suppressed or painful
menstruation. Surely the volume and character of the testimonial let
ters we are daily printing in the newspapers can leave no room for doubt
Mrs. Hayes at ber above address will gladly answer any letters
which sick women may write for fuller information about her illness.
Her gratitude to Mrs. Pinkham and Lydia E. Plnkham's Vegetable
Compound is so genuine and heartfelt that she thinks no trouble is too
great for her to take in return for her health and happiness.
Truly is it said that it is Lydia E. Plnkham's Vegetable Com
