Hospitals are great and necessary institutions, but they
should be the last resort for women who suffer with ills
peculiar to their sex. Many letters on file in the Pinkham
Laboratory at Lynn, Mass., prove that a great number of
women after they have been recommended to submit to an
operation have been made well by Lydia E. Pinkham 's
Vegetable Compound. Here are three such letters. All
sick women should read them.

I Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I was no run down
with female troubles that I could not do anything, and our doctor
said I would have to undergo an operation. I could hardly walk
without help so when I read about the Vegetable Compound and what
it hud done for others I thought I would try it. I got a bottle of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and a package of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Sanative 'Wash and used them according to directions.
They helped me and today I am able to do all my work and I am well."
Mrs. Titos. Dwyek, 089 Milwaukee Ave., East, Detroit, Mich.
Bellovne, Pa. " I suffered moro than tonguo can toll with terrible
bearing flown pains and inflammation. I tried several doctors and ,
they all told mo tho same story, that I never could get well without
an operation and I just dreaded the thought of that. I also tried a
good many other medicines that wore recommended to me and none
of them helped mo until a friend advised me to give Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound a trial. The first bottle helped, I kept
taking it and now I don't know what it is to be sick any moro and I
am picking up in weight. I am 20 years old and weigh 140 pounds.
It will be the greatest pleiisure to me if I can have the oppor
tunity to recommend it to any other suffering woman." Miss Iuexb
