81 am very grateful to you for your
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
1 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.
u underwent local treatment every
day for some time; then after nearly
two months the doctor gave me permits
sion to go back to work. L went back,
but in less than a week was COM
PEELED to give up and go to bed. On
breaking down the second time, I de-
cided to let doctors and their medicine
alone and try your remedies. Before
the first bottle was gone felt the eff
fects of il. Three bottles OF lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and a
package of her Sanative Wash did me
more good than all the doctors treat-
ments and medicine.
The first remark that greets me
now IS How much better YOU lool1r and
YOU may be sire I never hesitate to tell

WEAK sPINES AND CATARRH.

Many people are always taking
cold, and hence are almost chron-
ically catarrhal, because the spine
is weak. Find measures to tone up
the spinal cord, relieve its suscepti-
bility, and the patient will cease to
take cold at the slightest provoca-
ton.
If you will notice the spine of these
neurotic patients, you will see that,
however young, they usually have
round shoulders and stoop forward
like old men. The muscles of back
and abdomen are all feeble and re
Taxed. The internal organs, under
the control of the spine, sag, pro-
lapse, and are ill-regulated. because
the spine has little power TO exert
over them.
