SINGULAR STATEMENT. From Mrs. Rank to Mrs. Pinkham. The following letter to Mrs. Pink- ham from Mrs. M. RANK, No. 2,354 East Susquehanna Ave., Philadelphia, Pa., is a remarkable statement of re- lief from utter discouragement. She says: ‘‘ Inever can find words with which to thank you for what Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound has done for me. “‘Some years ago Ihad womb trouble and doctored for a long time, not see- ing any improvement. At times I would feel well enough, and other times was miserable. So it went on until last October, I felt something terrible creeping over me, I knew not what, but kept getting worse. I can hardly explain my feelings at that time. I was so depressed in spirits that I did not wish to live, although I had everything to live for. Had hys- teria, was very nervous; ecould not sleep and was not safe to be left alone. ‘‘Indeed, I thought I would lose my mind. No one knows what I endured. ‘‘1 continued this way until the last of February, when I saw in a paper a testimonial of a lady whose case was similar to mine, and who had been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegeta- ble Compound. I determined to try it, and felt better after the first dose. I continued taking it, and to-day am & well woman, and can say from my heart, ‘Bhank God for such a medi- cine.’” Mrs. Pinkham invites all suffering ‘women to write to her at Lynn, Mass., for advice.
