BEWARE OF MORPHINE. Mrs. Pinkham Asks Women to Seek Permanent Cures and Not Mere Temporary Relief M Prom Pain, Special forms of suffering' lead many a. // / \ |\ x. Woman to acquire the morphine habit,. [ Jby,l \npwX • ' One of these forms of suffering is a dull,®||gHg l A***-’ persistent pain in the side, accompanied by \ (k \\ I / /.- heat and throbbing. There is disincline- fc&wjT '®k\\ I ] tion to work, because work only increasesPtam, the pain. This is only one symptom of a chain of troubles; she has others she cannot bear to confide to her physician, for fear of $3 an examination, the terror of all sensitive, V 3 modest women. J » The physician, meantime, knows her condition, but I \ cannot combat her shrinking terror. He yields to I \ her supplication for something to relieve the pain. I i\ He gives her a few morphine tablets, with very I I I \ grave caution as to their use. Foolish woman I She I I / I thinks morphine wiH help her right along ; she be- | / 1 comes its slave 1 ill A wise and a generous physician had such a case ; I \ \ he told his patient he could do nothing for her, as xj she was too nervous to undergo an examination. In despair, she went to visit a friend. She Said to her, “ Don’t give yourself up; just go to the nearest druggist’s and buy a bottle of Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. It will build you up. You will begin to feel better with the first bottle.” She did so, and after the fifth bottle her health was re-established. Here is her own , .letter about it: “I was very miserable ; was so weak that I could hardly get around the bouse, could not do any work without feel- # ing tired out. My monthly periods had stopped and I was V° thed and nervous all of the time. I was troubled very ■ ''••w ranch with falling of the womb and bearing-down pains. \Wr \ A friend advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound ; I have taken five bottles, and think it is m edicine I ever used. Now I can work, and feel like myself. I used to be troubled greatly with my head, but I have had no bad headaches or palpiZj tation of the heart, womb trouble or bearing-down pains, since I commenced to take Mrs. Pinkham’s ' medicine. I gladly recommend the Vegetable Com- ' pound to every suffering woman. The use of one ■ottle will prove what it con do.” — Mbs. Lucy Peasley, Derby Center, Vt,
