J 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 y cured , after everything else failed , by Lydia E * Pinkham's Vegetable Compound * Mrs. Hayes' First Letter Appealing : to Mrs. Pinkham for Help : "DEAR ] Uns. Pi.vKiiAjr : I have been under Boston doctors' treat ment for a long time without any relief.rbiuy \ tell me I have a fibroid tumor. I cannot sit down without great pain , and the soreness extends up my spine. I have bearing-down pains both back and front. My ab domen is swollen , and I have had flowing spoils for three years. 2My ap petite is not good. I cannot walk or be on my feel for any length of time. "The symptoms of Fibroid Tumor given in your little book ac curately describe my case , so I write to you for advice. " ( Signed ) Mrs. E. F. HAYES , 25-J Dudley St. , ( Iloxbury ) Jjoston , Mass. Note the result of Mrs. Pinkham'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. "DEATC Mus. PINKHAM : Sometime ago I wrote to you describ ing my symptoms and asked your advice. You replied , and I followed all your directions carefully , and to-day I am a well woman. "The use of Lydia 13. Pinlcham's "Vegetable Compound entirely expelled the tumor and strengthened my whole system. I can walk miles now. "Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is worth five dol lars a drop. I advise all women , who are adicted with tumors or female trouble of any land to give ifc a faithful trial. " ( Signed ) MRS. E. R HAYES , 252 Dudley St. , ( Roxbury ) Boston , Mass. Mountains of goldcould not purchase such testimony or take the place of the health and happiness which Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound brought to Mrs. Hayes. Such testimony should be accepted by all women as convincing 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 her 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. Pinkham'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. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound that is curing so many women , and no other medicine ; don't for get this when some druggist wants to sell you something else.

Fifty Dollars to Sit Down. Carmel. In I. , Dec.Mr. . Joseph L Duffey relates an experience that has aroused considerable interest in this locality. It is best given in his own words : "When I was working in the fields. " says .Mr. Duffey. "I would be ready to quit , but 1 could not get to the hmis-e I was so weak. Itas worth fifty dollars to get to sit down. "I had no strength and a person without strength is not much use. "But bless the Lord I took four boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and they gave me health , strength and appetite. "I mi-rht say I am cure' ' , but I 'vill keep on taking Dodd's Kidney Pills. Yes. I'll get them if it takes the last thing on the farm. * ' Dodd's Kidney Pills have effected quite a number of other cures here and it seems safe to say they are an effec tive and permanent cure for all dis eases arising from the Kidneys Statistics show that the longest Jived people have generally been those who made breakfast the prin cipal meal of the day.
