Now any one who has given any thought to the preservation of the health can readily understand how impossible it would be to cure an inflammation of the uterus or ovaries, or check an unnatural discharge from the vagina, by applying strong acids, nitrate of silver, pure carbolic acid, strong tincture of iodine, or other destroying, caustic, irritating, and dangerous drugs. All of these must be injurious, must postpone recovery, and if their use be continued for any great length of time must make a cure quite impossible. =A Good Medicine Needed.=--Of course what is needed in these cases is something that will restore the natural circulation of the blood through the tissues of the uterus, something that will relieve congestion and cure inflammation. When the swelling and irritation have subsided, then the nerves are no longer irritated, and all pain disappears. =What This Will Do.=--Then all these parts become better nourished, the weakened and diseased tissues take on new strength, and all unnatural discharges cease. When the relaxed ligaments are properly fed and toned up, then they hold the uterus in its natural position, and all bearing-down pains and other symptoms of displacement quickly disappear. Of course this constitutional treatment with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is hastened by keeping the parts perfectly clean, which can be easily done with Lydia E. Pinkham's Sanative Wash. =A Hearty Welcome to the Perfect Cure.=--A hearty welcome to the most scientific treatment; a hearty welcome to the most natural, the most easy, and the most perfect method of cure; a hearty welcome to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound; a hearty welcome to the remedy that never fails to restore the uterus to perfect health and natural position. CHAPTER VI. MENSTRUATION. =Occurs Monthly.=--Once every twenty-eight days very remarkable changes occur in the uterus, giving rise to that peculiar monthly periodicity called menstruation, monthly sickness, monthlies, or being unwell. Although this usually occurs once in about four weeks, yet it may be a week less or a week longer; or, indeed, the variation may be even greater than this. =Symptoms of its Approach.=--As a perfectly natural menstrual period approaches, there is a certain degree of discomfort and lassitude, a sense of weight in the lower part of the body, and more or less disinclination to enter society. These symptoms may be slightly pronounced or very prominent, for it is quite unusual to find a person who does not have at least some general discomfort at this time.
