energy. There was always a fear and dread in my mind, had cold, nervous, weak spells, hot flashes over my body. I had 8 place in my right side that was so sore that I could hardly bear the weight of my clothes. I tried medicines and doctors, but they did me little good, and never expected to get out again. I got Lydia E. Pinlzham's. Vegetable Compound and Blood Purifier, and I cer- tainly would have been in grave or in an asylum if your medicines had not saved me. But now can work all day, sleep well at night, eat any thing want, have no hot flashes or weak, nervous spells. All pains, aches, fears and dreads are gone, my house, children and husband are no longer neglected, as I am almost entirely free of the bad symptoms I had before taking your remedies, and all is pleasure and happiness in my home.
