Much to Do in the Senate, Where
Democratic Revision Measures
Are Constantly Piling Up.

tariff on raw wool.

PHYSICIAN SAID ECZEMA
CAME FROM TEETHING

her face, neck and back. When she
first came down with it. It came in
little watery-like festers under her

days It would dry down in scaly, white
scabs. In the daytime she was quite
worrvsome and would dig and scratch
I her face nearly all the time. -
“I consulted our physician and
found she was suffering from eczema,
which he said came from her teething.
I used the ointment he gave me and
without any relief at all. Then I
wrote for a book on Cutieura, and pur
chased some Cutieura Soap and Oint
ment at the drug store. I did as I
found directions in the Cuticura Book
let, and when she was one year old,
she was entirely cured. Now she is
three years and four months, and she
has never been troubled with eczema
since she was cured by the Cuti

When shown positive and reliable proof that a certain
remedy had cured many cases of female ills, wouldn’t any
sensible woman conclude that the same remedy would also
benefit her if suffering with the same trouble ?
Here are five letters from southern women which prove
the efficiency of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
LETTER FROM VIRGINIA.
Elliston. Va.—'“ I feel it mv duty to express my thanks to you and your
great .medicine. I was a sufferer from female troubles and had been con
fined in bed over one third of my time for ten months. I could not do my
housework and had fainting spells so that my husband could not leave me
alone for five minutes at a time.
“ Now I owe my health to Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and
Blood Purifier. Whenever I see a suffering woman I want to tell her what
these medicines have done for me and I will always speak a good word for
them.”—Mrs. Robert Blankenship, Elliston, Montgomery Co., Va.
LETTER FROM LOUISIANA
New Orleans. La.—“ I was passing through the Change of Life and be
fore I took Lydia E. Pink ham’s Vegetable Compound I was troubled with
hot flashes, weak and dizzy feelings, backache and irregularities. I would
get up in the morning feel'ing tired out and not fit to do anything.
“ Since I have been taking your Compound and Blood Purifier I feel all
right. Your medicines are worth their weight in gold." — Mrs. Gaston
Blosdeau, 1541 Polymnia St., New Orleans, La.
LETTER FROM FLORIDA.
Wauchula, Fla.—“ Some time ago I wrote to you giving you my symp
toms, headache, backache, bearing-down, and discomfort in walking, caused
by female troubles. .
“I got two bottles of Lydia E Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and a
package of Sanative Wash and that was all I used to make me a well woman.
“ I am satisfied that if I had done like a good many women, and had
not taken your remedies. I would have been a great sufferer. But I started
in time with the right medicine and got well. It did not cost very much
either. I feel that you are a friend to all women and I would rather use
your remedies than have a doctor.”— Mrs. Mattie Hodnot, Box 406, Wau
chula, Florida.
LETTER FROM WEST VIRGINIA.
Martinsburg, W. Va.—“I am glad to say that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound has done wonders for my mother, daughter and myself.
•* I have told dozens of people about it and my daughter savs that when
she hears a girl complaining with cramps, she tells her to take your Com
pound.”—Mrs. Mabt A. Hockexbebbt, 713 N. 3rd St., M&rtinsburg, W. Va.
ANOTHER LETTER FROM VIRGINIA.
Newport News,Va-—“About five years ago I was troubled with such pains
and bloating every month that I would have to go to bed.
“A friend told me to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and
I soon found relief. The medicine strengthened me in every way and my
doctor approved of my taking it.
“I will be glad if my testimony will help some one who is suffering
from female weakness."—Mrs. W. J Blatton, 1029 Hampton Ave., Newport
News, Va.
