Mrs. Mamie Herbert, 56 Elmwood Ave., Buffalo, N. Y., Treasurer Empire State Fortnightly, Buffalo, N.Y., After Eight Years’ Suffering Cured by Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound. «Dear Mrs. Pinxuam:— Inflammation and ulceration of the uterus laid me low and robbed life of its joys for me. For eight years I was in frequent pain and misery, and then Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound came to me, the greatest boon I have known, for it brought new life and health to me. I used several bottles of Compound and your Sanative Wash. My improvement was slow, but from the first bottle I felt that I was better, and so I kept up courage and continued the treatment. None of my friends ever dreamed that I would be well again, but I have now enjoyed life to its fullest extent for three years.’ — Mrs. Mamie HERBERT. $5000 FORFEIT IF THE ABOVE LETTER IS NOT GENUINE.

Neither would thousands of others. We eefer to Vogeler’s Curative Compound ; it does so much good and seems to reach every form of stomach trouble, that people have found that it is the one true specific. And what arestomach troubles? The easiest answer is that three-quarters of all the dis- eases and ailments which affect us proceed from one form or another of stomach trouble. Indigestion is one of the worst and most prevalent forms, but Vogeler’s Curative Compound cures indigestion. Here is one tustance: Mr. W. Bowell, of 34, Priory Street, Win- chester, Col., writes: “I wish to state that my wife has been taking Vogeler’s Curative Compound for a long time, and it is the enly thing that has done her any real good for indigestion, in fact nothing would induce ber to be without a bottle now.” ‘When we stop to seriously consider the fact, that this great remedy is made from the formula of one of the most eminent living London physicians, it is no wonder that oC who have happily experienced the efit to be derived from its use, will not now be without it at any cost.
