STORIES OF RELIEF.
Two Letters to Mrs. Pinkham.

Mrs. JOHN WILLIAMS, Englishtown,
N. j., writes
DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-I cannot be-
gin to tell you how l suffered before
taking your remedies. l was so weak
that could hardly walk across the floor
without falling. 1 had womb trouble
and such bearing-down feeling; also
suffered with my back and limbs, pain
in womb, Inflammation of the bladder,
piles and indigestion. Before l had
taken one bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound felt great deal
better, and after taking two and one
half bottles and half box of your
Liver Pills was cured. If more would
take your medicine they would not
have to suffer so much"
Mrs. JOSEPH PETERSON, 513 East St,
Warren, Pa, writes:
DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-I have suf-
fered with womb trouble over fifteen
years. l had Inflammation, enlarge
ment and displacement of the womb.
1 had the backache constantly, also
headache. and was so dizzy. / had
heart trouble, it seemed as though my
heart was in my throat at times chok-
ing me. 1'could not walk around and
could not lie down, for then my heart
would beat so fast 1 would feel as
though 1 was smothering. 1 had to
sit up in bed nights in order to breathe.
I was so weak l conld not do any,
thing.
II have now taken several bot
ties of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, and used three pack
ages of Sanative Wash, and can say
1 am perfectly cured. do not think
I cculd have lived long if Mrs Pink
hams medicine had not helped me"

Ensign is an old title obsolete in the
land forces, but still preserved in the
