Then take a flannel cloth about six inches square, dip it in hot water,
and wring as dry as possible with the hands; now sprinkle ordinary
spirits of turpentine freely over one side, and place this side directly
over the centre of the lower part of the bowels, that is, just over the
uterus. Cover this flannel with another warm, dry flannel, and allow it
to remain on until the smarting is quite pronounced, or the skin red.
Then remove this, and apply hot cloths wrung from hot water. Use the
turpentine cloth again in four or six hours, if the tenderness and pain
still persist.
=Only One Medicine Needed.=--Begin at once with Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, in order that the attack may be cut short. This the
Compound will certainly do if taken faithfully according to directions.
After the acute attack is over, if there is any constipation, this
should be relieved by Lydia E. Pinkham's Liver Pills; and if there is
any discharge from the uterus, Lydia E. Pinkham's Sanative Wash should
be used once or twice each day, in order to hasten recovery all that is
possible.
=Chronic Inflammation.=--It is not exaggerating in the least to say that
probably 75 out of every 100 women in the world have more or less
chronic inflammation of the uterus.
=Causes.=--The causes of this are many, as improper dress, which
constricts the waist, and presses down upon the delicate organs in the
pelvis; improper attention to the health at each menstruation;
over-work; anxiety; miscarriages; unskillful treatment at childbirth,
etc.
=Lives of Suffering and Sorrow.=--What miserable lives women have to
endure who go about from day to day with a chronic inflammation of the
uterus. Each hour there is that dragging, pulling, bearing-down pain;
that heavy weight; that terrible depression; and that feeling of
abandoned hope. Yet hundreds of thousands, I might say millions of women
have had all this suffering and sadness turned to joy and comfort,
simply by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
=Stories Almost Beyond Belief.=--The stories received from our friends
seem almost beyond belief. The most striking of them cannot be printed
because I fear my readers would think such cures were quite impossible.
The letters tell as terrible stories, as frightful conditions as could
possibly exist, and yet all this has quickly and promptly changed to
robust health by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. So
often has this been reported that there is not the least room for doubt.
=I Speak Positively.=--I am not guessing in this matter; it is altogether
too serious; there is too much at stake. So I urge upon you to give
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a thorough trial, feeling
positive, without the slightest question of a doubt, that you will be
quickly and permanently cured.
