Hearing how Lydia Il. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound had saved other women from
serious operations l decided to try il, and in
less than four months l was entirely cured;
and words fail TO express my thankfulness."
Miss Margret Merkley of 275 Sd
Street, Milwaukee, Wis, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"Los of strength, extreme nervousness
severe shooting pains through the pelvic
organs, cramps, bearing down pains and
extreme irritation compelled me to seek
medical advice. The doctor, after making
an examination, said that ] had ovarian trou-
BILE and liberation, and advised an operation
as my only hope. To this l strongly objected
and / decided as a last resort to try Lydis
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
ITO my surprise the liberation healed, all
the bad symptoms disappeared, and | am once
more strong, vigorous and well; and / an
not express my thanks for what IL has don

For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound has been curing
the worst forms OF female complaints,
all ovarian troubles, inflammation. ul-
ceration, falling and displacement Of

When a physician tells a woman, suf-
fering from ovarian or WON trouble,
that an operation Is necessary il, of
course, frightens her.
The very thought Of the operating
table and the knife strikes terror TO
her heart. AS one oma expressed
it, when told by her physician that she
must undergo an operation. she felt
that her death knell had sounded.
Our hospitals are full of women
who are there for ovarian or womb
operations!
1t is quite true that these troubles
may reach a stage where an operation
is the only resource, but such cases are
much rarer than is generally supposed,
because a great many women have
been cured by Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound after the doctors
had said an operation must be per-
formed. In fact, up to the point where
the knife must be used 10 secure instant
relief, this medicine is certain TO help.
The strongest and most grateful
statements possible TO make come from
women who, by taking Lydia L. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, have
escaped serious operations.
Margrite Ryan, Treasurer of st. An
drew's Society, Hotel English, Indian
apolis, Ind. writes Of her cure as follows:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
II n find words TO express nv thanks
for the good Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound did me-. The doctor said I could
not get well unless / had an operation for
ovarian and female troubles. knew I could
not stand the strain of an operation and made
up my mind I would be an invalid for life.
