I wish all women suffering from female troubles might know what you have
done for me. A year ago last June I was very sick, and on examination my
physician said I had Polypus of the womb and that I would not stop
flowing until I had an operation. I always had a horror of operations
and could not bear the thoughts of having one, as I am a nervous person.
I wrote to you and followed all your directions faithfully, and all the
while I prayed that I might not have to have one. At that time I could
hardly walk across the floor and I was pale and thin. Now I weigh one
hundred and thirty-five pounds, do all my work, and my husband and
children say that I am growing young. I am still taking your medicine
and will do so until after the turn of life.

Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
I suffered for over three years with female weakness brought on by
falling on an icy pavement. I had frequent backache and fearful
headaches, blinding me with pain. I also had intense pains at the
menstrual period. My family physician prescribed several remedies, but
although he was considered an excellent physician, he was unable to
relieve me. A cousin who visited me had a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound with her and spoke so highly of its efficacy that I
took a few doses of it. I was pleased and surprised to find that it
seemed to relieve my pains in twenty-four hours. I took it regularly,
and within twenty-four hours more I felt like a different woman, and two
weeks continued use of it restored me to health and strength such as I
had not known in years. I consider Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
the only medicine on the market which is reliable for the ills of the
sex.

I would like to have your advice as I am a married woman and would be
pleased to have children. I cannot tell what is the trouble, but I lose
them and I am as careful as I can be. It happens just when I am on the
fourth month. I have just had my third miscarriage and been flowing over
two weeks and have much pain in back and womb. My menstruation is very
painful and some months I have it twice. My stomach bothers me. I suffer
with indigestion and dyspepsia.

I will let you know that I have a son, and if it had not been for Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I would not have my baby. Your medicine
kept me well until the last minute. I did not know what an ache was. I
used fourteen bottles of the Compound and three boxes of your Liver
Pills. I cannot thank your medicine too much as it has done me more good
than the doctors.
