These Three Women Tell How They
Escaped the Dreadful Ordeal of
Surgical Operations.

Hospitals are great and necessary institutions, but they
should be the last resort for women who suffer with ills
peculiar to their sex. Many letters on file in the Pinkham
Laboratory at Lynn, Mass, prove that a great number of
women after they have been recommended to submit to an
operation have been made well by Lydia Z. Pinkhams

sick women should read them.
