testimony from a very dear friend whom
you had cured. knew her case before she

struck on my head and back suffered pain
all the time. when / was thirteen years old
began TO have spasms each month when
nature tried to regulate Igrew worse and
suffered terribly and the spaams came often
I would become rigid and c0nvulsed and
would froth and bite my tongue and was
not safe TO leave alone day or night; would
havo the spasms at night and sometimes
four a day. had taken every Kind Of med
icine for the nerves ever advertised without
doing one particle of good. Three years ago
1 went TO see Mrs. DIR. Drew. She told me
that my whole trouble arose from an abnor-
NAL condition of the uterine organs. The
womb was displaced (retroversion), pressing
backward, causing severe constipation, back
and headache and nervousness, and the neck
of the womb was undeveloped, causing con-
gestion and severe pain. The ovaries and
fallopian tubes became congested, in that
way retarding the flow, resulting In severe
headache, fever and chills and increased the
spasms resulting from the fall and injury.

me without an operation; she began treat
ing me and gave me Nerve Strength. She

back felt better; the Nerve Strength gave
me new life; my head stopped aching; my

spasms ceased entirely and have never re-
turned The soreness OF the Ovaries and
