SteIia-Vitae has been in success
full use in the treatment of those diseases

tie out of every one thousand
sold has been refunded for, and every
claim for o refund has been satisfied.
Thousands of letters like this praising
StelIa.Vitae and telling of benefit to
suffering women have been received.

Mrs Russell was at that critical
period, the "change," and her sincere
gratitude for the tlesSed relief will be
understood and appreciated by every
woman who reads her letter.
