ered by the use of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
"DEAR Mus. PIXKHAM : I am one
of the" many of your grateful friends
tvho have been cured through the use
of I ydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound , and who can to-day
thank you for the fine health , I enjoy.
When I was thirty-five years old , I
suffered severe backache and frequent
bearing-down pains ; in fact , I had
womb trouble I was very anxious to
pet well , and reading1 of the cures your
Compound hud made , I decided to try
It. I took only six bottlcsbut it built mo
up andcurcd me entirely of my troubles.
" My family and relatives were
naturally as gratified as I was. My
niece had heart trouble and nervous
prostration , and was considered incur-
tible. She took your Vegetable Com
pound and it cured her in a short time ,
nnd she became well and strong1 , and
her home to her great joy and her hus
band's delight was blessed with a baby.
I know of a number of others who
have been cured of different kinds of
female trouble , and am satisfied that
your Compound is the best medicine
for sick womtn. " Mr.s. ELIZABETH n.
