Euphemia, Ohio.—*“ Because of total ignorance. of how to ca_e for myself when verging into womanhood, and xrom taking cold when going to school, I suf- fered from a displacement, and each month I had severe pains and nausea which always meant a lay-off from work for two to four days from the time I was 16 years old. 4] went to Kansas to live with my sis- ter and while there a doctor told me of the Pinkham remedies but I did not use them then as my faith in patent medi- cines was limited. After my sister died T came home to Ohio tolive and that has been my home for the last 18 years. ““The Change of Life came when I was 47 years old and about this time I saw my physical condition plainly described in one of your advertisements. Then I began using Lydia E. Pinkham’s Veg- etable Compound and I cannot tell you or any one the relief it gave me in the first three months. It put me right where I need not lay off every month and during the last 18 years I have not paid out two dollars to a doctor,and have been blest with excellent health fora wo- woman of my ageand I can thank Lydia E.Pinkham’sVegetable Compound forit. ““Since the Change of Life is over I have been a maternity nurse and being I cannot over wholly self-supportin, estimate the value of good health. have now earned a comfortable little home just by sewing and nursing.
