- A prominent club woman, y
Mrs. Danforth, of ST., Joseph,
Mich, tells how she was cured
of falling of the womb and its
accompanying pains and misery
by Lydia E. Pfnkham'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
I 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 I
took the medicine daily, and each dose
added health and strength. I am so
thankful for thehelp obtained through
it's use."- MRS. FLORENCE DANFoRTH,
1907 Miles Ave-, St. Joseph, Mich
