When a physician tells a woman suffering with ova- rian or womb trouble that an operation is necessary, it of course frightens her. The very thought of the operating table and the knife strikes terror to her heart. And our hospitals are full of women who are there for ovarian and womb operations ! It is quite true that these troubles may reach a stage where an operation is the only resource, but such cases are much rarer than is generally supposed, because a great many women have been cured by Mrs. Pinkham’s med- icine after the doctors had said the operation must be performed. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has been very successful in curing ovarian troubles. In fact, up to the point where the knife must be used to secure instant relief, this medicine is certain to help. Ovarian troubles are easily developed from womb troubles, and womb troubles are so very common that ovaritis is steadily on the increase among women. It is, nevertheless, & most serious trouble, and to recommend wrong treatment for it is a crime for which there cannot be too deep a penalty. It is, therefore, with full consciousness of the serious- ness of the disease and the steady failure of other medicine to cure it, that we present for ovarian and womb trouble Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound as the most certain to help of any medicine in the world to-day. Any person who conld read the letters in Mrs. Pinkham’s files at her office in Lynn, Mass., would be convinced of the efficiency of Mrs. Pinkham’s Compound. The strongest and most grateful statements possible to make come from women who have escaped the operat- ing table by the use of this medicine. Let any woman suffering from these troubles, or anything which may de- velop into them, write and get Mrs. Pinkham’s advice. If you are beyond the reach of the médicine, you will be frankly told so, but, if not, you will be fully and carefully and kindly advised. The most serious of all the diseases of women, as well as the minor ills, are promptly overcome by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetahle Gompound. Earnest Words of Gratitude. ““DEAB MEs. PINEHAM :—After my child was born, blood poison set in, which left me with granulated inflammation of the womb and congested ovaries. I had suffered from suppressed and painful menstruation from irl. The doctors told me the ovaries would ave to be removed. I took treatment two years to escape an operation, but still re- mained in miserable health in both body and mind, expecting to part with my reason with each coming month. After using ome bottle of the Compound, I became entirely rid of the trouble in my head. I continued to use your remedies until cured. The last nine months have been passed in perfect good health. This I owe entirely to Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege- table Compound.” —MRS. F. M. KNAPP, 1528 KinnickinnicAve., Milwaukee, Wis. ““DeAR Mes. PrngaAM:—Your Vegetable Compound has completely cured me of the worst form of womb trouble, and made me a stron henlth robust woman. Before using Lydz ham’s Vegetable Compound, I suffered wm: severe pains in back and side, headache and nervousness. Menses would sometimes oceur every two weeks, and once I had a se- vere hemorrhage which lasted a month. I was confined to my bed and the attending physi- cians told me I would have to undergo an oper- ation as soon as I was strong enough. I read in one of your little books several testimonials from ladies who were cured by your Compound after a:ving been told by their gmwrs that an operation was necessary, and T made up m mind then and there to commence t&kmgpyoui Compound. I did so and it has completely re- — stored me togood health. Ihave gained twenty- P ' two pounds since ulnng it and my flesh is as MRS ANNIE nARrLLv solid as a rock. My friends remark about the change in me. I am a living advertisement of what Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound can do, and have in- fluenced many of mf friends to try it, which has proved very gratify- ing in its results. thank you for restoring me to health.”—ANNIE BKBTLEY. 221 W. Congress St., Chicago, IlL “DeAr M: —1 feel it =y duty to publish the wollderful help Lydia E. Plnkhnm Vcteublo mpound has been tome. I was like a crazy person—could not eat or sleep; there was no rest for me day or night. Physicians examined me and said an operation was necessary. Before nndergoing it, however, I determined to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Compound. I am so glad I did, for it cured me. I ama well woman now and can do any kind of work. I want this published throughout the land, so that all my suffering sisters may read, and if in any way afflicted with female troubles, they may be induced by my sincere statement to try this wonderful Vegetable Compound and be cured.” —MRS. MARGARET BAMFORD, Centennial Ave., Crescent Beach, Revere, Mass. ““DeAR MRs. PINgEAM :—I wish to send you P'y testimonial stating the grand effect Lydia E. nkham’s Vegetable Compound has had op my health. I was suffering to such an extent from ovarian trouble that my physician thought an operation would be necessary. Your medicine having been recommended to me, I decided to try it. After using several bottles I found that I was cured. My system was toned up and I snf- fered no more with my ovaries. Your medicine is the atest boon on earth to suffering women.” ANNIE ASTON, Box 137, Troy, Mo. g;mgt:‘:.h.ofhg.flum mphhflhmlmwflmqmom uine: constant] blis ted with the Nationgl City Bank, of Lynn, Mass. ;.suf“ h S Do peid $5000 REWARD :=-isemrs oo T T s T 30t geagine or were publishd betors obtaining the The first soclal meeting of the year of | 10 OIS the Pacific Coast Women's Press Asso-| pcoc’| s R eCitaan: . contialio: Solo. - | clation was held last Monday at Century | vTo Her,” M and are ready pre: | him for some time.
