Jemup has Miss Hapgood tells how she was cured of Fallopian and Ovarian Inflammation— and escaped an awful operation by using Lydia E, Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. “DEAR MRS. EAM iS suffered for four years with what the doctors called salpingitis (inflammation of the fallopian tubs and ovaritis), which is a most distressing and painful allment, affecting all the surround- ing parts, undermining the constitution, and sapping the life forces. If you had seen me a year ago, before I began taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege- table Compound, and had noticed the sunken eyes, sallow complexion and general emaciated condition, and compared that person with me as I am today, robust, hearty and well, you would not wonder that I feel thankful to you and your wonderful medicine, which restored me to new life and health in five months, and saved me from an awful operation.”—MISS IRENE HAPGOOD, 1022 Sandwich St., Windsor, Ont. Ovaritis or inflammation of the ovaries or failopien tubes which adjoin the ovaries may result from sudden stopping of the monthly flow, from in- flammation of the womb, and many other causes. The slightest indication of trouble with the ovaries, indicated by dull throbbing pain in the side, accompanied by heat and shooting pains, should claim your instant atten- Uon. It will not cure itself, and @ hospital operation, with all its terrors, may easily result from neglect. “DBAR MRS. PINKHAM:—I can truly gay that you ha nd I cannot express m; gratitude to op in ronal ret my, Before I wrote to you telling how I felt, I had doctored for over two years steady and anept ‘lots of money in medicine besides, but it all failed e to do me any good.
