Fibroid Tumors Cured.
A distressing case of Fibroid Tumor,
which baffled the skill of Boston doctors.
Mrs. Hayes, of Boston, Mass., in
the following letter tells how she was
cured, after everything else failed, by
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
Mr. IluycV Firnt Letter Appealing to Mrs. IMiikluuii for Help :
"Dr..ii Miis. Pinkham: I havo liccn tinder IJoston doctors' treat
ment for a Ions; time without any reliof. 'llwy tell me I havo a fibroid
tumor. I cannot sit down without great pain, and the sorenesa extondu

domen Li swollen, nnd I have had .lowing1 spoils for three years. My ap
petite Is nol kxm1. I cannot walk or 1 on nty feet for any length of time.
"Tho HyinntomA of Fibnid Tumor given in your little book ac
curately describe my case, so I write to you for advice." (Signed) 3Irs.
E. F. IIayi, 252 Dudley St, (Koxbury) Bohton, 3Iass.
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
"Dnxn 31ns. Pinkiiam: 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.

Mrs. Hayes at her nbovo address will gladly answer any letter
which hick women may write for fuller information about her illness.
Her gratitude to Mrs. Pinkham and Lydia 12. IMnkbam's Vegetable
