and did nothing for them. OF course
l 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.
Sc underwent local treatment every
day 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 a 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 l felt the eff
fects of it. Three bottles of Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and q
package OF her Sanative Wash did me
more good than all the doctors treat

Important To Mothers.

The manufacturers Of Castoria have been
compelled to spend hundreds OF thousands
of dollars to familiarize the public with the

been necessitated by reason OF pirates ooun-

counterfeiting is crime not only against
the pToprietOrs OF Castoria, but against the
growing generation All persons should
be careful to see that Csstoria bears the
signature Of Chas. H. Fletcher if they
would guard the health OF their children.
Parents, and mothers in particular, ought
to carefully examine the Castoria adver-
tisements which have been appearing in
