What Mrs. Nell Hurst has to Say
About It.
Dear Mbs. Pinkham: When I wrote
to you I had not been well for five years;
had doctored all the time but got no
better. I had womb trouble very bad.
My Womb pressed backward, causing
piles. I was in such misery I could
scarcely walk across the floor. Men
struation was irregular and too pro-
iuse, was aiso
troubled with
leucorrhoea. ' I
had given up all
hopes of getting
well; everybody
thought I had
consumption.
After taking
five bottles of
Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegeta
ble Compound,
I felt very much better
- and was able to do nearly all my own
work.. I continued theuse of your medi
cine, and feel that I owe my recovery to
you. I cannot thank you enough for your
advice and your wonderful medicine.
Any bne doubting my statement may
write to me and I will gladly answer
all inquiries. Mrs. Nell Hubst, Deep
water, Mo.
Letters like the foregoing, con
stantly being received, contribute not
a little to the satisfaction felt by Mrs.
Pinkham that her medicine and counsel
are assisting women to bear their heavy
burdens. ,
Mrs. Pinkham's address is Lynn, Mass.
.All suffering women are invited to
write to her for advice, which will be
given without charge. It is an ex
perienced woman's advice to women.
