Mr. Wlliadsen Tells How She Tried Lydlt
E. Pinkham'i Vegetable Compound Jost
In Time. ,
Mrs. T. C. Wlliadsen, of Manning,
Iowa, writes to Mrs. Pinkbam:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham :
" 1 can truly aay that yon have saved my
Ufa, and I cannot express my gratitude U
you In words.
' Before I wrote to you, telling you how t
felt I had doctored for over two years steady
and spent let of money on mclicines besides,
but it all f 1 : U-d to help me. My monthly pe
riod had ceasid and I suffered much pain,
with fainting spells, headache, backache and
bearinglown pains, and I was so weak I
could hardly keep around. As a last resort
I deddfid to write you and try Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound, and I am so
thankful that I did, for after following your
Instructions, which you sent me free of all
charge, I became regular and in perfect
health. Had it not been for yon I would h4
Id my grave to-day.
" I sincerely trust that this letter may lead
every suffering woman in the country to
write you for help as I did."
I When women are troubled with ir
regular or painful periods, weakness,
diaplacementor ulceration of an organ,
that bearing-down feeling, inflamma
tion, backache, flatulence, general de
bility, indigestion or nervous prostra
tion, they should remember there is
one tried and true remedy. Lydia E,
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at one
removes such troubles.
No other female medicine in the world
ha3 received such widespread and un
qualified endorsement. Kefuse all sub
stitutes. For 25 years Mrs. Pinkham, daughter-in-law
of Lydia E. Pinkham, has under
ir direction, and since her decease.
been advising sick women free of
