gle to regain health after the birth Of
her little girl:
DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-It is with
pleasure that add my testimony to
your list, hoping that it may induce
others to avail themselves ofsyour val
liable medicine.
AFTER the birth of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. had leucorrhea badly, and a
terrible bearing-down pain which
gradually grew worse, until could do
no work. Also had headache nearly
all the time, and dizzy feelings. Mem
situations were very profuse, appear
ing every two weeks
"ltook medicine from good doctor,
but it seemed to do no good. was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when / read your advertisement in q
paper. l sent at once for bottle of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
ponnd. and after taking two-thirds of
the bottle felt so much better that l
send for two more. After using three
bottles felt as strong and well as any
one.
I think It is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady meet suf-
fering from this trouble" f"
Maternity is wonderful experience
and many women approach 1t 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. III Mrs. Pax
ton had written to Mrs. Pinkham be-
fore confinement she would have been
saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkhams
address is Lynn, Mass.
