sufferer from the various annoying and dis
tressing diseases of delicate persons, which
caused me to be confined to my bed for a
long time, being ever too weak to even bear
my weight upon my feet. l was treated by
the most reputable physicians in our city

the doctor calledi it leucorrhea and treated
it about one year, and she grew worse and
turned to liberation OF the womb, and was
treated for that two years, but she grew
worse and the doctor gave her up. Then ]
employed Dr.. Underwood, one of the best
doctors of Akron. but under his treatment
she grew worse. She was paralyzed; she
had lost all the n of feeling and her
eyesight. She could not walk for nearly
two years. About SIX months ago Under

She has taken three bottles and it did her
more good than any other medicine. The

getting better. We will continue the use Of
PERTNA until she is well"
