REMARKABLE CASE of Mrs. HAM Declares Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound Saved Her Life and Sanity. Shamrock, Mo.— “I feel it my duty %0 tell the public the condition of my health before using B | your medicine. Thad falling, inflamma-~ tion and congestion, female weakness, pains in both sides, backaches and bear- ing down pains, was short of memory, nervous, impatient, passed sleepless nights, and had neither strength nor energy. There was always a fear and dread in my mind, I had cold, nervous, ‘weak spells, hot flashes over my body. I had a place in my right side that was 8o sore that I could hardly bear the ‘weight of my clothes. I tried medicines and doctors, but they did me little good, and I never expected to get out again. I got Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and Blood Purifier, and I cer- tainly would have been in grave or in an asylum if your medicines had not saved me. But now I can work all day, sleep well at night, eat anything I want, have 1o hot flashes or weak, nervous spells. All peins, aches, fears and dreads are gone, my house, children and husband are no longer neglected, as I am almost entirely free of the bad symptoms I had before taking your remedies, and all is pleasure and happiness in my home.”’— Mrs. Josie Ham, R.
