As I have heard and read so much about your medicine, I have decided to write you and tell you my trouble and ask your advice. I am completely run down, am a widow, twenty-five years old, and have one boy five years old. I have never been strong since the birth of my child. Menstruation is irregular and scanty and am always in such distress, pain in lower abdomen and limbs, pain and dizziness in head, cold hands and feet, poor appetite, sick headache, nervous, have leucorrhoea badly, bearing down pains in small of back, pain in both sides, also have catarrh of head and throat. I have had different doctors but they do not help me and I am discouraged. I will be glad to hear from you. Would like to feel well once more. MRS. ANNIE M. WAHL. June 1, 1902. I think it is my duty to let everyone know what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me. It has made me well and happy. Five months ago I could hardly walk across the room, I was so full of pain. I could scarcely step. I now feel like a new woman. I sleep well and have a good appetite. I used to get such awful sick headache spells, but now I have them no more. Also would be troubled with awful bearing down pain at time of menstruation but have also been relieved of this. I cannot praise your medicine enough. I think it is the best thing made for women. I advise, everyone who suffers with female trouble to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. MRS. ANNIE M. WAHL, Bellwood, Blair Co., Pa. October 10, 1901. I think it is my duty to let you know the good that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me. I think it is the best medicine in the world. I was well until I weaned my baby and then I began to bloat and had bearing down pains. I took to filling up with water in my abdomen. I had the doctor and he said it was abdominal dropsy and that not having menstruation was the cause of it. He said I would have to be tapped. He tapped me once and took eleven quarts of water from me and in a week I began to fill up again and he was waiting to tap me again. I wrote to Mrs. Pinkham and began to take the Vegetable Compound and the water began to leave me. When I had taken two bottles it had all left me and menses appeared. I now feel as well as I ever did and am able to do all my work. I feel very thankful to you. MRS. HATTIE RILEY, Waterford, Ohio. Backache ~MISS PEARL ACKERS.~ The ordinary every-day life of most of our women is a ceaseless treadmill of work. How much harder the daily tasks become when some derangement of the female organs makes every movement painful and keeps the nervous system all unstrung. One day she is wretched and utterly miserable; in a day or two she is better and laughs at her fears, thinking there is nothing much the matter after all; but before night the deadly backache reappears, the limbs tremble, the lips twitch--it seems as though all the imps of Satan were clutching her vitals, she "goes to pieces" and is flat on her back.
