Dodd's Kidney Pills nave cured hun

A TRAINED NURSE
After Years of Experience. Advises Women In
Regard to Their Health.

Mrs. Martha Pohlman
of 80 Chester Avenue,
Newark, N. j., who Is q
graduate Nurse from the
Blockley Training School,
at Philadelphia, and for
six years Chief Clinic
Nurse at the Philadelphia
Hospital, writes the letter
printed below. She has
the advantage of personal
experience, besides her
professional education,
and what she has to say
may be absolutely relied
upon.
Many other women are
afflicted as she was. They
can regain health in the
same way. It Is prudent
to heed such advice from
such a source.
Mrs, Pohlman writes:
AZ am firmly persuaded,
after eight years of experience
with Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, that it
is the safest and best medicine
for any suffering woman to
use.

that it should be DONE"
After the doctor left me | did some
of the hardest thinking my brain had
ever experienced. My situation was
unique. 1t rested with me to have
him arrested as a criminal or to &C
cept his view and do nothing.
l put the case, of course. without
mentioning any names, to several
prominent physicians and surgeons,
and was amazed when they all de-
clared that the physician not only had
done right but had performed his SIM
pie duty In the end l told the broth
ers the physicians story, and with
significant eagerness they approved CT
my decision to accept his view of the
case. To this day that experience or
my mayoral career stands out unique.
And to this day l have my doubts as
to whether l returned the proper ver-
