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.

Carmel. In I. , Dec.Mr. . Joseph L

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.

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. * '
