Pixkham: Tt is wdth pleasure that I add my testimony to your list, hoping that it may inluot others to avail themselves of your valuable medicine. "After the birth of ray little girl, three years ago, my health was very poor. I had Lencorrhcea badly, and a terrible bea ring-down pain which gradually grew worse, until I could do no work. Also had headache nearly all the time, and di.v feelings. Menstruations were very profuse, appearing every two weeks. . Ä' " 1 took medicine from a good doctor, but it seemed to do no good. I waa becoming alarmed over my condition, when I read your advertisement in paper. I sent at once for a bottle of Lydia K. Pinkham s Vegetable ( omponnd. and afte- taking- two-thirds of the bottle I felt so mneh better that I send for two more. After using threo bottles I felt as strong and well avs any one. " I thiük it is the best medicine fow female weakness ever advertised, and recommend it to every lady I meet suffering from this trouble." Maternity is a wonderful experience and many women approach it wholly unprepared. Childbirth under right conditions need not terrify women. The advice of Mrs. Pinkham is freely offered to all expectant mothers, and her advice is beyond question the most valuable to be obtained. If Mrs. Paxton had written to Mrs. Pinkham bofore confinement she would have been saved much suffering-. Mrs. Pinkham' address is Lynn, Mass.
