and fill their later years with suffering.
Mrs. Pinkham has done much to make

to many that has shown them how to
guard against disease and retain vigor-
GUS health in old age. From every cor
ner of the earth there is constantly COM

is a letter from Mrs. j.. c. Orms, of 22O
Horner St, Johnstown, Pa, which is
earnest and straight to the point:
DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I feel it my
duty to tell all suffering women that l

gone, have no pain in ovaries, and am
cured of womb trouble. can eat and
sleep well and am gaining in flesh. l

had for female troubles"
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
ence in treating female ills is unparal-

side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
Of the correspondence department Of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as a hundred thousand ailing
women during q single year.
