One of the greatest triumphs of

pound is the conquering of woman
dread enemy Tumor,
The growth of a tumor is so in
sidious that frequently its presence

advanced.

come from its early stages or the
presence of danger may be made
manifest by excessive monthly periods

there are indications of Inflammation
or displacements, secure bottle OF
