AIDED BY MRS. PIINKHAM.

Mrs. w. +. PAXTON, youngstown,
North Dakota, writes about her strug-
gle to regain health after the birth of
her little girl:
DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-lt is with
pleasure that | add my testimony to
your list, hoping that it may induce
others to avail themselves of your val
liable medicine.
AFTER the birth of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. / had leucorrh9a badly, and a
terrible bearingdOwn pain which
gradually grew worse, until | could do
no work Also had headache nearly
all the time. and dizzy feelings. Men
situations were very protuse, appear
ing every two weeks.
II took medicine from good doctor,
but it seemed to do no good. | was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when | read your advertisement in a
paper. | sent at once for a bottle of
lydia +. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, 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 we'll as any
one.
Il think it is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady L meet suf-
fering from this trouble"
Maternity is 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. Pax
ton had written to Mrs. Pinllham be-
fore confinement she would have been
saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkham's
address is Lynn, Mass.
