II DEAD Mns. PnmnAM : - Gradual loss of strength and nerve force told me something was radically wrong with me. I had severe shooting pains through the pelvic organs , cramps and extreme irritation compelled me to seek medical ndvice. The doctor said that I had ovarian trouble and ulcera- tion , and advised an optrntion. I f strongly objected to this and decided to try Lydia E. Pinlcham's Vegetable - table Compound. I soon found that my judgment was correct , and that all the good things said about this medi- cine were true , and day by day I felt less pain and increased i a ppeti te. The ulceration soon healed , and the other complications disappeared , and in eleven weeks I was once more strong and vigorous and perfectly well. " My heartiest thanks arc sent to . . . .
