The universal indications of the approach of woman's great enemy, inflam- mation and disease of the ovaries, are a dull throbbing pain, accompanied by a sense of tenderness and heat low down in the side, with occasional shooting pains. On examination it may be found that the’ region of pain will show some swell- ing. This is the first stage of inflammation of the ovaries. “Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—I wish to express my gratitude for the re- stored health and happiness Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- pound has brought into my life. “I had suffered for three years with terrible pains at the time of men- struation, and did not know what the trouble was until the doctor pro- nounced it inflammation of the ovaries, and proposed an operation. “I felt so weak and sick that | felt sure that I could not survive the ordeal, and so I told him that I would not undergo it. The following week I read an advertisement in the paper of your Vegetable Compound in such an emergency, and so | decided to try it. Great was my io to find that I actually improved after taking two bottles, so 1 kept taking it for ten weeks, and at the end of that time I was cured. 1 had gained eighteen pounds and was in excellent health, and.am now. “You surely deserve great success, and you have my very best wishes.”—Miss Alice Bailey, 50 North Boulevard, Atlanta, Ga. Another woman Saved from a surgical operation by Lydia E, Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Read what she says: “Dear Mrs, Pinkham:—I cannot thank you enough for what your Vegetable Com- pound has done for me. If it had not been for your medicine, I think I would have died. “T will tell you how I suffered. 1 could hardly walk, was unable to sleep or eat. Men- struation was irregular. At last I had to stay in my bed, and flowed so badly that they sent for a doctor, who said 1 had inflammation of the ovaries, and must g0 through an operation, as no medicine could help me, but I could not do that. “T received a little book of yours, and after reading it 1 concluded to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and | am now a well I shall praise your medicine as long as I live, and also recom- woman, mend the same to any one suffering as I was.”—Mrs. Minnie Ottoson, Otho, Iowa. All sick women would be wise if they would take Lydia E, Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and be well. ‘IohnDard N Sons Sons STORE OPENS AT 8.30, CLOSES AT 5.30.
