She aays: " I never can find words with which to thank y ou for what Lydia K. Pink ham s Vegetable Compound has done for inc. " Bonn years no;o I had womb trouble end doetoeed for a hmg time, nut seein f ruy improvement. At times I would leel well enonglt, nnd other times was miserable. So it went on until last October 1 I felt eome thing terrible creejiino; over me, I knew not what, but kept fretting worse. I can hardly explain my foeltagi at thai timi'. I was so depressed in spirits that I did uot wish to live, although I had everything; to live for. Had hysteria, was very nervous; could not aleep ami was not safe to be left lone. " Indeed, I thought I would lose my mind. No one knows what I endured. " 1 continued this way until the last of February, when I saw in a paper a testimonial of a lady whose case was similar to mine, and who had been cured by Lydia K. I'inkham's Vegetable Compound. I determined to try it, nnd felt better after the first dose. I continued taking it, and to-day am a well woman, and can say from my heart, 'Thank bod for such mulicine." Mrs. Pinkham invites all suffering women to write to her at Lynn, Mass , for advice. All such letters are aeen nnd answered hy women nly.
