She goes to her family physician and tells him a story, but not the whole story. She holds something back, loses her head, becomes agitated, forgets what she wants to say, and finally con- ceals what she ought to have told, and thus completely mystifies the doctor. Is it any wonder, therefore, that the doctor fails to cure the disease? Still, we cannot blame the woman, for it is very embarrassing to detail some of the symptoms of her suffering, even to her family physician. It was for this reason that years ago Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass., determined to step in and help her sex. Having had considerable experience in treating feémale ills with her Vegetable Compound, she encouraged the women of Amer- ica to write to her for advice in regard to their complaints, and being a woman, it was easy for her ailing sisters to pour into her ears every detail of their suffering. In this way she was able to do for them what the phy- sicians were unable to do, simply because she had the proper information to work upon, and from the little group of women who sought her advice years ago, a great army of her fellow-beings are today constantly applying for advice and relief, and the fact that more than one hundred thousand of them have been successfully treated by Mrs. Pinkham during the last year is indicative of the grand results- which are produced by her unequaled experience and training. No physician in the world has had such a training, or has such an amount of information at hand to assist in the treatment of all kinds of female ills, from the simplest local irritation to the most complicated diseases of the womb. This, therefore, is the reason why Mrs. Pinkham, in her laboratory at Lynn, Mass., is able to do more for the ailing women of America than the family physician. Any woman, therefore, is responsible for her own suffering who will not take the trouble to write to Mrs. Pinkham for advice. The testimonials which we are constantly publishing from grateful women establish beyond a doubt the power of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound to conquer female diseases. 5000 REWARD to any person who will show that ~L¥Dia inkham's i Iam Well.” “DEAR Mrs. Prvxmay:—I have been thanks ful a thousand times since I wrote to you for what Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has done for me. I followed your advice carefully and now I feel like a different person. “My troubles were backache, headache, nervous tired feefing, painful menstruation, and leucorrheea. I teok four bottles of Vege- table Compound, one box of Liver Pills, and used one package of Sanative Wash, and am now well. I thank you again for the good you have done me.”—ELLA E. BRENNER, East Roches- ter, Ohio. ‘““DEAR Mgrs. PiNgmAu:—When I wrote to you some time ago for advice, I really thought my days were numbered. I was so ill that I could not stand on my feet for fifteen minutes at a time. ‘I had female troubles in many of their worst forms, inflammation and ulceration of the womb, lencorrheea, bearing-down pains, headache, backache, and nervous prostration. My kidneys were out of order and blood in a bad condition. Every one, and even my doctor, thought I ‘was going intoconsumption. I commenced to take Lydia E. Pinkbam’s Vegetable Compound and followed your advice faithfully for six months, with the result that I became a well woman, and it did not cost me nearly as much as a doctor’s bill for the same number of weeks. I feel that your medicine saved my life.”—MRS. SAMUEL BORST, 7 Cozy Ave., Oneonta, N. Y. - “DEAR MBs. PvemAM:—I feel that words are but feeble to express a heart’s gratitude, when there is so much to be thankful for as I have. 1 suffered with womb trouble for five years, and our family physician said an operation was needed; but I dreaded it, and reading oiy Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound one day, I decided to give it a trial first. To my great joy I found that after four months’ treatment I was strong and well; experienced no pain or trouble, and the Compound built up my entire system. I shall always bless the day I started to take your medicine; it proved my greatest good.”—MISS SOPHIE BONHAM, 281 Qak St., Chicago, I11. “ DEAR MRs. PINEEAM :—I want to tell you what your medicine done for me. I believe it saved my life. Iylnd womyl:mtrouble mdhi:: flammation of the ovaries, and was troubled with flowing too much. I had two doctors, but they did me no good. After writing to you, I began the use of your remedies, and to-day I am well.
