A prominent CLUB woman, y
Mrs. Danf0rth, of St. Joseph,
Mich, tells how she was cured
Of falling of the womb and its
accompanying pains and misery
byLydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound.
DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-Life looks
dark indeed when a woman feels that
her strength is fading away and she has
no hopes of ever being restored. Such
was my feeling few months ago when
was advised that my poor health was
caused by prolapsus or falling of the
womb. The words sounded like a
knell to me, felt that my sun had set;
but Lydia e. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound came to me as an
elixir of life it restored the lost forces
and built me up until my good health
returned to me. For four months /
took the medicine daily, and each dose
added health and strength. l am so
thankful for thehelp obtained through
its use."- MRS. FLORENCE DANFoRTH,
