So it went on until last October, I felt something terrible creeping over me, I knew not what, but kept getting worse. I can hardly explain my feelings at that time. l was so depressed in spirits that did not wish to live, although had everything to live for. Had hys- teria, was very nervous; could not sleep and was not safe to be left alone.
 Indeed, I thought would lose my mind. No one knows what endured
 continued this way until the last of February, when saw in a paper a testimonial of lady whose case was similar to mine, and who had been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta- ble Compound. I determined to try it. and felt better after the first dose. continued taking it, and to-day am a we'll woman, and can say from my heart, Thank God for such a medi- cine.'"
