There are cases where an operation
is the only resource, but when one con-
siders the great number of cases of
ovarian and womb trouble cured by
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound after physicians have advised
operations, no woman should submit to
one without first trying the Vegetable
Compound and writing Mrs. Pinkham,
Lynn, Mass, for advice, which is free.
Miss Margret Merkley of 275 Third
Street, Milwaukee, Wis, writes:
Dear Mrs Pinkham:-
Loss of strength, extreme nervousness
shooting pains through the pelvic organs,
bearing down pains and cramps compelled
me to seek medical advice. The doctor, after
making an examination, said had ovarian
trouble and liberation and advised an opera
ton. To this strongly objected and decided
to try Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Com
pound. The liberation quickly healed, all
the bad symptoms disappeared and am
once more strong, vigorous and well"
Ovarian and womb troubles are stead
lily on the increase among women. If
the monthly periods are very painful,
or too frequent and excessive-if you
have pain or swelling low down in the
left side, bearing down pains, leucor-
rhea, don't neglect yourself try Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
