CHILDREN RECOVERING.
Improvement in Condition Of Those
Operated Upon by DR.. Lorenz.

HAONcAACAI III SOAOASAoA VA AAoSS
Operated Upon by DR.. Lorenz.
Among the many thousands of children
who are enjoying themselves today are
girl and boy-little Miss Eileen Callahan
and Master Charles Wilett - who were
operated upon at Providence Hospital about
two weeks ago for serious deformities by
DR.. Lorenz and his assistant during their
VISIT to this city. According to reports,
both patients are improving steadily.
Miss Eileen Callahan, who is nine years
old. was sufferer of congenital hip dis
location. The deformity was treated in the
presence Of the medical fraternity Of the
city, and is considered one Of the most sue
cessful operation thus far performed by
DR.. Lorenz. The child Is In good health,
and the only defect in her walk is caused by
the braces which hold the hip bone in place,
and which will have to be worn for some
time. She exercises as much as possible, by
direction, this being regarded absolutely
necessary in order to effect a permanent
cure. She is at her home, OIL list street
southeast.
The little boy, the ten-year-old son of
Mr.. Joseph Willett of Anacostia, was
operated upon by DR.. Lorenz for a serious
case Of club foot He is at the Chidren's
Hospital, and is greatly improved. 1t was
at first hoped he would be able to spend
Christmas at home, but the physicians con-
cluded it would be better for him to re-
main under their immediate supervision,
and the privilege was denied him.

The above headlines recite the
actual experience of a poor wreck of
woman who had once held an hon
orable and lucrative position in
large mercantile house in New York.
Her health began to fail, and instead
of taking rest and proper medical
treatment she resorted to stimulants
and morphine.
The hospital physician discovered
that her primary trouble was an
affection of the womb, which
could readily have been cured in the
first stages. If when she had first
felt those severe pains in the back,
the terrible headaches, the constant
sense Of fullness, soreness and pain
in the pelvic region, she had needed
the warning that serious trouble was
in store, and commenced a regular
treatment with the Pinkham Rene
dies, as did Mrs. Rober of Chicago,
whose letter follows, the polypus
in the womb would have been dis
solved and passed away, and to-day
she would have been n well woman.
Why will women let themselves
drift along into terrible suffering
and sickness in this way, when there
is monumental proof that Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is daily relieving thousands
of women from this very trouble ?
There is no excuse for any woman
who suffers to go without help. Mrs.
Pinkham is very glad indeed to give
her personal advice to any one who
will write for it, and the following
letter simply goes to prove that the
Vegetable Compound will positively
cure female ills:
"Since the birth of my baby
suffered from womb trouble, bacllache,

Free Medical Advice 10 Women.

Women suffering from any form Of
female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs.
Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters
are received, opened, read and an
swered by women only. A woman
can freely talk of her private illness
to a woman; thus has been estab-
lished the eternal confidence between
Mrs. Pinkham and the women of
America which has never been
broken. Out of the vast volume of
experience which she has to draw
from it is more than possible that she
has gained the very knowledge that
will help your case. She asks moth
ing in return except your good will,
and her advice has relieved thousands.
Surely any woman, rich or poor,
is very foolish if she does not take
advantage of this generous offer Of
assistance.
