various annoying and distressing dis
eases of delicate persons, which caused
me to be confined to my bed for long
time, being too weak to even bear my
weight upon my feet. Twas treated by
the most reputable physicians in our
city, each and all saying they could do
nothing for me. l had given up all
hopes Of ever being well. In this con-

to liberation of the womb, and was
treated for that two years, but she
grew worse and the doctor gave her up.
Then l employed DR.. Underwood, one
