kindness and the interest you have
taken in me, and truly believe your
medicines and advice are worth more
to a woman than all the doctors in the
world. For years had female troubles
and did nothing for them. OF course
i became no better and finally broke
down entirely. My troubles began
with inflammation and hemorrhages
from the kidneys, then Inflammation,
congestion and falling of the womb
and Inflammation of ovaries.

dav for some time; then after nearly
two months the doctor gave me permits
sion to go back TO work. went back,
but in less than week was COM
PEELED to give up and go to bed. On
breaking down the second time, de-
cided to let doctors and their medicine
alone and try your remedies. Before
the first bottle was gone 1 felt the eff
fects Of It. Three bottles of Lydia r.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
package of her Sanative Wash did me
more good than all the doctors treat
ments and medicine.

The officials OF the State Department
have been much interested in a remlrk-

said AT the State Department that no
