DYSPEPSIA, CONSTIPATION, GENERAL DEBILITY, SLEEPLESSNESS.
=Dyspepsia, Acute.=--Acute dyspepsia is usually caused by some improper
diet, as the eating of an unusual article of food or of a larger amount
than necessary. Such articles of diet as cucumbers, unripe or overripe
fruit, an excessive amount of sweets, rich salads, heavy puddings, etc.,
may so irritate the stomach that an acute attack of dyspepsia follows.
=Nature Often Cures.=--Nature often makes a prompt cure in these cases by
causing a sharp attack of vomiting or diarrhoea. If a cure is not made
in this way, then we can imitate nature by giving an emetic, or by
taking a laxative, in order to rid the body of the indigestible material
as soon as possible.
=Treatment.=--If there is much pain in the stomach, a mustard plaster
should be placed directly over the pit of the stomach, or cloths wrung
out in hot water. For the next day following the attack the diet should
be restricted to milk, or poached eggs on toast, or something of this
kind.
=Chronic Dyspepsia.=--It is chronic dyspepsia, however, which is so
annoying because of its persistence. It has been called "The American
Disease" because so many people are troubled with it.
=Symptoms.=--Persons suffering from chronic dyspepsia complain of a bad
taste in the mouth, dry throat, nausea, and a feeling of great weight in
the stomach for an hour or two after each meal.
Frequently there is no appetite whatever, or it may be even more
ravenous than natural because of the irritation and inflammation in the
stomach. When the latter is the case, food does not satisfy, and it
becomes necessary to eat every two or three hours in order to quiet the
gnawing and empty feeling in the stomach. The chronic dyspeptic suffers
greatly from nervousness and depression of spirits; indeed, it seems
almost impossible to maintain the usual cheerfulness.
=Thought to be the Heart.=--Many persons go to their family physician
thinking they have a serious form of heart disease, when the whole
trouble is with the stomach, the violent beating of the heart being
simply a nervous manifestation caused by the irritable condition of the
stomach.
=Two Diseases Closely Associated.=--Chronic dyspepsia is almost invariably
associated with the diseases of women. Indeed, the two seem almost
inseparable, for whenever you find a woman complaining of soreness
across the lower part of the bowels, irregular menstruation, ovarian
irritation, inflammation of the bladder, leucorrhoea, etc., you will
find a confirmed dyspeptic. The blood is thin and watery, the bowels are
constipated, and the whole nervous system seems to be upset.
=Which Disease Is the Cause?=--The question comes whether the disease in
the pelvis causes the difficulty with the stomach, or whether the
stomach produces the inflammation in the uterus and surrounding parts.
Probably one is true at one time and another at another time. The fact
is that both conditions need correcting, and there is one remedy which
answers perfectly in each case.
=Both Must Be Cured.=--The digestion certainly cannot be perfect while
there is this inflammation in the pelvic organs; while the latter can
hardly maintain a healthy condition if the stomach fails to do its work.
=Both May Be Cured.=--By paying attention to a few rules of diet, and by
taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for a short time, I believe
every case will promptly yield to treatment.
=Cures Dyspepsia of Men.=--Indeed, strange as it may seem, a great many
men who have taken Lydia E. Pinkham's Compound because they have seen
its good action on the stomach in cases of other members of the family
have written reporting good results. It certainly has a most soothing
and strengthening power on this organ, while its gently stimulating
effect on the whole alimentary canal brings about the most desirable
changes.
=Regular Action of the Bowels.=--I would recommend that Lydia E. Pinkham's
Liver Pills be taken each night in just sufficient doses to cause a
regular action of the bowels each day. Then if Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound be taken, it will not only allay all inflammation in
the stomach and impart great strength, but it will at the same time
remove the soreness and pain in the pelvic organs.
=A Simple but Valuable Aid.=--All such persons will obtain relief by
drinking a cupful of hot water at least half an hour before breakfast
each morning; and if the case is very bad, then the hot water may be
repeated before each meal. The water should be as hot as can be
comfortably taken.
=Useful Hints.=--I would strongly urge the necessity of thoroughly chewing
the food and eating slowly. If this rule alone were observed there would
be far less dyspeptics in the country. Drink should be used sparingly at
meal-time, also, for while the body requires a great deal of liquid
during the day, yet this should be taken between meals rather than
during meals.
The stomach should certainly have time to rest from its work of
digesting the food, hence nothing should be eaten between meals. The
habit so many girls have of eating before retiring is very injurious to
the health, and should be corrected at once. Meals should be taken at
regular intervals and not at any time when most convenient.
=Diet for Dyspeptics.=--The chronic dyspeptic should use soups sparingly,
for, as a rule, they are quite difficult of digestion, while they do not
contain much nourishment. Plain mutton and beef soup without much fat
are the least harmful. Such fish as pickerel, trout, shad, and white
fish may be used moderately; while oysters, especially when raw, are
easily digested. The best kinds of meat are roasted or broiled beef,
lamb chops, and some fowl, as chicken.
Eggs are easily digested, and are exceedingly valuable as an article of
diet for the dyspeptic. They may be cooked in almost any form except
hard-boiled. They are highly nourishing, can be prepared in many
delicate ways, and are, as I have said, as valuable an article of diet
as the dyspeptic can have.
Persons with chronic dyspepsia do not digest vegetables well, as a rule,
although such green vegetables as lettuce, green peas, asparagus,
celery, and spinach may be used. Potatoes often ferment in the stomach,
producing gases, and should be used sparingly.
Toast is always well borne, but should never be buttered while hot.
Bread should not be used until it is at least a day old. Rolled oats,
cracked wheat, etc., may be taken, although with many they cause
fermentation. Nearly all cooked fruits are well borne by the stomach,
and so are nearly all ripe fruits. Puddings made from rice and custard
are easily digested.
Milk is valuable at all times, and if the chronic dyspeptic bears it
well, this diet alone will frequently make a marked cure. If it rests
heavy on the stomach, a little lime water may be added to it in the
proportion of a tablespoonful of lime water to a cupful of milk.
=Forbidden Diet.=--There are certain articles of diet which the dyspeptic
should not use under any circumstances. Among such are fried foods of
all kinds, pork, liver, veal, rich soups, turkey, goose, duck, mackerel,
lobster, cucumbers, cabbage, turnips, parsnips, string beans, pies and
cakes, cheese and nuts.
=Constipation.=--As we have already stated, constipation is productive of
the most serious evils. When the lower bowel is distended, pressure is
made upon the surrounding blood-vessels, and thus the circulation
seriously interfered with.
=Causes Inflammation of Uterus.=--As a result, there is congestion in the
blood-vessels of the ovaries and uterus, and inflammation of these
organs is likely to follow with its long train of ailments.
Constipation also seriously interferes with the general health,
producing nausea, indigestion, headache, backache, nervousness, general
debility, etc.
=Daily Movements Necessary.=--Nature intended that the alimentary canal
should be relieved of its contents at least once every twenty-four
hours, and if this is not done, then certain poisons are absorbed into
the blood which produce the most undesirable effects.
=To Cure Constipation.=--For constipation I strongly recommend Lydia E.
Pinkham's Liver Pills. I know they give the most prompt and satisfactory
relief. I have received letters from hundreds of women who have been
cured of the most distressing ailments of the uterus and bladder simply
by using these Liver Pills, and all because constipation was cured and
in this way the cause of the suffering removed.
=Diarrhoea.=--Diarrhoea, as a rule, is an effort of nature to get rid
of some offensive material. While this may be the first reason for its
existence, yet if it is allowed to go on, it produces such an irritation
in the bowels that serious results may easily follow.
=Treatment.=--If the person is conscious of having eaten something
indigestible, as unripe or overripe fruit, then it is best to aid nature
by taking some gentle laxative, as a laxative dose of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Liver Pills, thus hastening the removal of the indigestible substance.
If, however, there have been a number of movements of the bowels, until
the offending material is probably all removed, then the following plan
is all that will be necessary to make a cure:
Let the person rest at full length upon a couch or bed, remaining as
quiet as possible. For the diet nothing should be taken but hot milk. A
glass of hot milk can be slowly sipped once every three hours, and
nothing else whatever should be taken into the stomach for a day, at
least, or until the diarrhoea is checked.
If the pain is quite severe in the stomach or bowels, then a mustard
plaster may be placed over the most painful part, or cloths wrung from
hot water; or a poultice of linseed meal or slippery elm may be applied.
I have seen the good results of this treatment of "rest and hot milk" in
so many cases, and it is so exceedingly simple, that I earnestly
recommend its trial.
=General Debility, Exhaustion, Anaemia.=--Many women go about suffering
from great debility, being hardly able to drag themselves through the
day. When night comes they are too tired to sleep, and when morning
comes it seems they are more tired than they were at night. All parts of
the body partake of this general weakness.
There are great discomfort and suffering through the lower part of the
body, difficulty in passing the urine, constipation of the bowels,
leucorrhoea, and all other affections which naturally come from an
impoverished condition of the blood.
=May Be Promptly Cured.=--To all women who are suffering from this general
debility, exhaustion, and nervous prostration I earnestly recommend
Lydia E. Pinkham's Blood Purifier. If the inflammation in the uterus and
surrounding organs is quite marked at the same time, then the Blood
Purifier may be taken before meals and the Vegetable Compound after. If
the female generative organs are not much involved, then the Blood
Purifier may be used alone.
=A Grand Medicine.=--This grand medicine has done great good, and I am
confident it will build up the system, purify the blood, and greatly
improve the general health.
Persons suffering from general debility of this kind do not prosper well
on a milk diet alone. They need more hearty food, such as rare
beefsteak, rare roast beef, lamb chops, and eggs.
=Sleeplessness.=--Sleeplessness is frequently the result of a too liberal
use of tea or coffee. Many persons cannot take a cup of coffee at any
time during the evening without lying awake many hours to pay for it.
It is a strong stimulant to those who have a sensitive nervous system,
and should be used only sparingly at all times and never after the
midday meal.
Strong tea acts in this way upon a great many, and if any of my readers
are troubled with sleeplessness, and yet at the same time use tea and
coffee freely, I would suggest that they try, first of all, to do
without these drinks and note the effect.
=Treatment.=--A warm (not hot) foot-bath taken just before retiring will
often cause a good night's rest, as it draws the blood from the head,
makes the circulation more evenly distributed, and in this way induces
sleep. Frequently a baby or young child may be made to sleep all through
the night if a warm bath be given just before retiring.
When the sleeplessness is due to nerve exhaustion, as is frequently the
case, the very best results will follow the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, because of its great nerve tonic properties.
=A Hard Cold.=--Whenever any one has taken a hard cold, it can often be
speedily and completely broken up in the following manner: Take a hot
foot-bath for at least half an hour. While the feet are still in the hot
water throw a blanket completely about the limbs and body, in order to
retain all the heat possible. At the same time drink one or two cupfuls
of hot lemonade, or hot ginger tea. Then retire to bed, having the bed
previously well warmed, if during the wintertime. Put on plenty of
covering, keeping a hot flat-iron or a hot water-bottle at the feet, and
in every way try to induce free perspiration.
After an hour or two, gradually remove the extra clothing. Be careful
about going out the next morning, for the body will be especially
susceptible to the cold. In this way it is possible to break up a hard
cold at once. If there is any tendency to cough, or any tightness or
soreness in the chest, place a mustard plaster directly over the chest,
and allow it to remain on until the skin is quite red.
=Sore Throat.=--An old-fashioned remedy for sore throat, and a very good
one, too, is to bind on each side of the throat a piece of salt pork.
The surface of the pork may be slightly covered with black pepper, in
order to increase its drawing power. This is allowed to remain on all
night, but should be taken off in the morning. During the day a flannel
is worn about the neck.
A gargle for sore throat may be made by dissolving half a teaspoonful of
chlorate of potash in a cupful of warm water. Gargle the throat with
this every hour or two during the day, but do not swallow the mixture.
After this has been used for a day or two, then a solution may be made
by adding a teaspoonful of pulverized alum to a cupful of warm water;
this is applied to the inflamed sides of the throat by means of a swab.
Gargling the throat with a solution of ordinary extract of witch hazel,
one part, and water two parts, also very useful.
=Croup.=--As a rule, croup may be quickly cured by the use of either hot
or cold water. Immediately the child begins to breathe hard and cough
with a dry, hollow, barking cough, wring out a towel from cold water and
apply around the throat, covering this with a dry towel. The wet towel
should be changed in a few minutes, just as soon as it becomes a little
warm. Often before the second cloth is removed the spasm will be broken,
and the danger passed. _Cool_ water will not answer; it must be _cold_.
If the spasm does not break, and the breathing does not become easy
within fifteen or twenty minutes, then change to hot water. Wring out
the cloth from water as hot as can be borne and apply about the neck,
changing in a few moments, and so on.
=How to Lose Flesh.=--I have often been asked whether it were possible to
have the flesh reduced without in any way affecting the general health.
If the person be only slightly heavier than usual, and is in the best of
health, it certainly seems wrong to experiment in any way to reduce the
weight, especially when this is done only to better follow the dictates
of fashion.
If, however, the excess of flesh is becoming so great as to be
uncomfortable, to interfere with the regular work, or to cause weak
action of the heart, etc., then something should be done. There are a
few rules which a person may follow to advantage in such cases, although
the change should be made gradually.
So long as a person continues to gain in flesh, it is positive evidence
that more food is being taken than necessary. Therefore the first rule
is that the quantity of food should be gradually diminished.
The second rule is that exercise should be taken regularly. This will
keep up the general health, while it will cause the fat to be more
evenly distributed over the body. Another rule is to keep the bowels
well open, so that there may be at least two movements daily. For this
special purpose the mineral laxative waters are best.
=Diet for Reducing the Flesh.=--Fatty foods should be avoided, and so
should all drinks in excess. Foods containing sugar or starch should be
taken sparingly, as oatmeal, potatoes, rice, cakes, sweetened tea and
coffee. Milk is very fattening to many, hence should not be used. The
eminent Dr. Mitchell, of Philadelphia, instituted a course of treatment
for reducing the weight, which is quite rigid, but nevertheless
effective. The regular diet should be changed gradually until it meets
Dr. Mitchell's demands.
He prescribes outdoor exercise, and a diet of one cupful of milk and one
egg every three hours when awake. No other food or drink is allowed for
twenty days, when the list of foods is gradually extended. There are a
number of anti-fat remedies upon the market, but many of them depend for
a cure upon their power to disturb digestion, and thus interfere with
the general health.
=How to Gain Flesh.=--When it is natural for persons to be thin, it is
quite impossible for them to gain in weight under any kind of diet or
treatment. Many persons, however, are thin simply because some of the
digestive organs do not perform their work properly; or because the diet
is not the right kind.
Thin persons need good meats and some vegetables. If the digestion is
all right, then such meats as mutton, chicken, broiled bacon, broiled
ham, etc., may be used; also rare broiled steak, rare roast beef, etc.
Eggs may be used in any way except hard-boiled. Good bread, oatmeal,
cracked wheat, hominy, etc., are good.
Such indigestible foods as pork and veal, thin soups, cabbage, turnips,
pickles, pies, and pastries of all kinds should not be used.
Often a good preparation of cod-liver oil will increase the weight; and
this is also true of many of the extracts of malt. It is useless,
however, to try to increase the weight by using a generous diet, unless
the digestion is in good order. When the digestion is weak, the person
should take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound because of its power
to strengthen the digestion and enable the system to obtain all the good
possible from the food.
=Pimples, Rashes, Eruptions.=--Many persons, especially young girls, are
afflicted with pimples on the face, rashes, blackheads, etc. To cure
this condition it is necessary that the bowels be made to act regularly
each day, which is easily done by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Liver
Pills.
Then a good course of treatment should be taken with Lydia E. Pinkham's
Blood Purifier in order to make the blood perfectly pure in every way.
Attention should also be paid to the diet, and such indigestible
articles as pork, pickles, rich pies and cakes, and rich sauces,
sweetmeats and nuts should be avoided.
For local treatment, the face should be washed each day in warm, soapy
water, using the best Castile soap. Then with a sponge or wash cloth
wash off this water with as hot water as can be borne. It is best to
keep up this sponging with the hot water for at least five minutes in
order that the face may become thoroughly steamed.
The face should then be wiped dry and rubbed briskly for a few minutes.
=Burns.=--Burns are likely to occur at any time in the household, and one
should always know what to do promptly. The best treatment is to add a
teaspoonful of ordinary baking-soda to a cupful of water. Saturate some
cloths in this solution and lay them over or loosely bind them about the
burned part. This will take out the pain and sting at once. As the
cloths become dry, more of the solution should be poured over them, and
they should not be removed from the burned parts. After a few hours,
these wet cloths may be replaced by cloths well covered with vaseline.

Free Medical Advice to Women
ALL CORRESPONDENCE STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
+Lady with Raised Hand+
In addressing Mrs. Pinkham you are confiding your private ills to a
woman--a woman who speaks from a greater experience in treating women's
diseases than can any living physician--male or female.
You can talk freely to a woman when it is revolting to relate your
private troubles to a man--besides, a man does not understand--simply
because he is a man.
Many women suffer in silence and drift along from bad to worse, knowing
full well that they ought to have immediate assistance, but a natural
modesty impels them to shrink from exposing themselves to the questions
and probably examinations of even their family physician. It is
unnecessary. Without money or price you can consult a woman, who can
speak from a greater actual experience than can any local physician in
the world.
Every one will agree that there are the strongest of all reasons why, if
we are ill, we should appeal to the person who knows the most about the
kind of illness with which we are afflicted--one who has had the
greatest experience in treating just such cases and meeting just the
symptoms that are manifest in our particular case.
What confidence does one gain by consulting one who has occasionally met
a case just like ours, but has had no great experience? None whatever.
All treatment under such a person must of necessity be experimental. But
in writing Mrs. Pinkham you consult one who has, actually filed in her
office for ready reference, an immense correspondence with patients
suffering from female ills which has been constantly going on for more
than twenty-five years; and it is safe to say there is not a case or
complication of female derangements with which she is not familiar. It
is a positive fact, easily verified, that within the last few months
she, with her corps of trained women assistants, has advised in over one
hundred thousand cases, and that a vast number of the women of this
country owe the restoration of their health to her advice and Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Now, if a woman is ill and miserable, it seems to us only simple justice
to herself that she should avail herself of the help of a woman of such
enormous experience.
MRS. PINKHAM'S STANDING INVITATION.
Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to promptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. She asks nothing in
return, except their good will, and her advice has relieved thousands.
Surely any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish if she does not take
advantage of this generous offer of assistance.
=Address simply Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., U. S. A.=

abdomen, espalda etc., desmayos, pesadez en las extremidades, y de toda
clase de otros dolores. Una cura segura se encuentra en el Compuesto
Vegetal de Lydia E. Pinkham.
=Leucorrea (o Flores Blancos).=--Uno de los primeros sintomas de la
inflamacion del utero es la leucorrea, familiarmente conocida bajo el
nombre de Flores Blancos, la cual consiste en una secrecion blancusca de
la vagina la cual debilita muchisimo el sistema y produce una irritacion
de la membrana mucosa que reviste el canal vaginal. El uso regular del
Compuesto Vegetal, por sus efectos en la constitucion, y la Locion
Sanativa de Lydia E. Pinkham usada en inyecciones curara positivamente
los casos mas graves de leucorrea. La negligencia de esta dolorosa
enfermedad originara ulceras, flujos excesivos, estableciendo los
cimientos para la mas terrible de todas las enfermedades--el Cancer.
=Caida del Utero.=--Existen muchos desplazamientos del utero, pero el mas
principal es el conocido generalmente con el nombre de la Caida del
Utero. Esto es debido muchas veces a la flojedad de los ligamentos que
soportan este organo. El Compuesto Vegetal de Lydia E. Pinkham fortalece
las ligamentos, alivia todas las inflamaciones y gradualmente restaura
los organos a su propia condicion. El Compuesto Vegetal de Lydia E.
Pinkham removera los tumores del utero en su temprano desenvolvimiento

=La Inflamacion de los ovarios= es una de las enfermedades mas
desesperantes que atacan a las mujeres de 20 a 40 anos. Esta enfermedad
va siempre acompanada de algunos dolores de la region de los ovarios y
de una sensacion de pesadez especialmente durante la menstruacion. A
menudo el dolor extiendese por el costado y la espalda, especialmente en
el lado izquierdo produciendo continuos deseos de orinar. A menos que
esta enfermedad se ataque prontamente nada curara a la paciente que no
sea la cuchilla del cirujano. El Compuesto Vegetal de Lydia E. Pinkham a
curado miles de mujeres que sufrian enfermedades del ovario, salvandolas

sufren toda clase de dolores y enfermedades, pero si el Compuesto
Vegetal de Lydia E. Pinkham se toma regularmente este cambio importante
puede ser pasado sin peligro de enfermedades o muerte.
=Las Enfermedades de los Rinones y de la Vejiga= son comunes en ambos
sexos, generalmente de dificil curacion, pero pueden curarse si se
atienden a tiempo; nada sin embargo es tan fatal como el no atenderlos
debidamente a su tiempo, siendo la muerte el resultado inevitable. El
Compuesto Vegetal de Lydia E. Pinkham no reconoce rival entre los
remedios que para estas enfermedades han sido descubiertos. Es digno de
absoluta confianza tanto por hombre como por mujer.
=Los Dolores de la Espalda= no son una enfermedad pero son uno de los
principales sintomas; cuando existe una enfermedad de los organos de la
generacion, esta es telegrafiada, como si dijeramos, al gran nervio
simpatico que tiene uno de sus principales centros en la parte mas baja
de la espalda. El Compuesto Vegetal de Lydia E. Pinkham curando las
enfermedades del utero y de los rinones hara desaparecer los dolores de
la espalda.

bestaemdt enligt foereskrift, intill reningen intraeffar regelbundet hvarje
tjuguattonde dag. Om inelfvorna aero benaegna att hoptraenga sig, borde
Lefver-Piller (Lydia E. Pinkhams Liver-Pills) begagnas, hvilka blifvit
saerskildt sammansatta foer qvinnans bruk och verka i fullkomlig harmoni
med Vegetable Compound.
=Foerhindrande af Flytningen= aer ett uppharonde sedan reningen
vederboerligen boerjat. Om ett upphoerande eger rum, sa framt det icke aer
en foeljd af hafvandeskap eller gifvande af di, aer det ett allvarligt
fall och Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound boer tagas tills reningen
ater blir regelbunden. Den foerbaettrar saekert alla oregelbundenheter.
=Smaertsam Rening.=--Manga qvinnor lida marterande smaerta under reningen.
Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound botar saekert denna smaertande
kaensla. Det inverkar ej om detta foerhallande nyligen intraedt eller om
det egt rum under manga manader; om Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound
tages regelbundet och enligt foereskrift aer ett botande saekert.
=Foer Ymnig Rening= foerekommer ofta hos dem, som aero blodfulla, liksom hos
dem som aero bleka och svaga. Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound har
atstadkommit atskilliga af de mest foervanansvaerda botaden i just dylika
fall. Foer foer ymnig rening eller flytning rekommendera vi alltid Lydia
E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound i torr form, antingen som piller eller
kakor.
=Inflammation och Sarnad pa Lifmodern= aer orsaken till naestan alla
qvinnosjukdomar. Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound har botat mera aen
en million fall af Lifmoderfel. De skildringer, som erhallits fran
qvinnor, hvilka varit doedsjuka och som botats genom Lydia E. Pinkhams
Vegetable Compound aero naestan otroliga. En qvinna vet saekerligen om hon
har nagot slags lifmoderfel, enaer dylikt naestan alltid atfoeljes af en
nedtyngande kaensla uti underlifvet, ryggvaerk, svimmingsanfall, styfhet i
lederna och all annan taenkbar vaerk och smaerta. Ett aldrig svikande
botemedel aer Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound.
=Leucorrhea eller Hvitflytning.=--En af de foersta symptomerna af
lifmoderns inflammation aer leucorrhea, vanligen kallad "hvitt," hvilken
bestar af en hvit flytning fran moderslidan och som aer mycket
kraftnedsaettande foer systemet och retande foer moderslidans kaensliga
slemhinna.
Ett regelbundet begagnande af Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound pa
grund af dess inverkanpa kroppsbeskaffenheten och Lydia E. Pinkhams
Laekande Medel foer insprutning uti moderslidan, botar saekert de
allvarligaste fall af hvitflytning. Foersummande af denna ledsamma
sjukdom foerorsakar sarnader, oefverdrifven flytning och laegger grunde foer
den forskraeckligaste af alla sjukdomar nemligen Kraefta.
=Lifmoderns Nedfallande.=--Det finnes manga olika rubbningar hos
lifmodern, den vanligaste kaend under namn af lifmoderns nedfallande.
Detta beror hufvudsakligast pa foerslappning af de band som uppbara detta
organ eller halla det pa sin plats. Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound
starker dessa band, lindrar inflammation och aterstaeller sa smaningen
delarne uti deras behoeriga laege. Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound
borttager svullnad uti lifmodern i dess tidigare stadium lika saekert som
solen skiner.
=Inflammation uti Aeggstockarne= aer en saerdeles allvarlig sjukdom, som
angriper qvinnan mellan 20 och 40 ars alder. Den atfoeljes alltid af
oemhet och harda smaertor i trakten af aeggstockarne och en kaensla af
uppfyllnad isynnerhet under reningen. Ofta utstracka sig smartorna till
sidan och ryggen, isynnerhet till venstra sidan, med ett staendigt begar
att urinera. Sae framt icke denna sjukdom genast haefvas, kan ingenting
raedda patienter fran operationsknifven. Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable
Compound har emellertid botat tusentals qvinnor foer sjukdomar uti
aeggstockarne och raeddat mangfaldiga fran hospitalet och en allvarlig
operation.
=Ofruktbarhet= har often sin orsak uti ytterlig svaghet och kroniskt
inflammeradt tillstand af lifmodern. Regelbundet begagnande af Lydia E.
Pinkhams medicin har ofta aterstaellt lifmoderns fruktbara organer till
deras normala tillstand och lindrat fran den bekymrande tanken att
ofruktbarheten var obotlig.
=Foeraendring I Lifvet= ar en farlig period foer alla qvinnor, som hunnit
till 45 ars alder. Under denna tid har qvinnan all slags sjukdom och
smaerta, men om Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound tages regelbundet,
kan denna vigtiga foeraendring i en qvinnas lif passeras utan fara foer
sjugdom eller doed.
=Njurlidande och Blaskatarr= hos bada koenen aro vanliga och svara
sjukdomar, men de kunna botas om de tagas itu med i raett tid. Ingenting
ar emellertid sa olycksbringande som symptomerna till dessa sjukdomar om
de ej gifvas akt pa i tid och doeden aer oundviklig. Lydia E. Pinkhams
Vegetable Compound oefvertraeffas ej af nagot annat botemedel, som
nagonsin uppstackts foer botande af alla sjugdomar i njurarne och blasan.
Det aer fullt tillfoerlitligt bade foer maen och qvinnor.
=Ryggvark= aer icke en sjukdom utan en tydlig symptom da sjukdom foerefinnes
uti skaporganen och ger sig tillkaenna som om det vore uti den stora
sympatiska nerv, som har ett af sina foernaemsta laegen i laegre delen af
ryggen. Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound, som haefver lifmoders-,
aeggstocks-, och njurlidanden, botar tryckande ryggvaerk.
=Magsyra och Dalig Matsmaltning.=--Ingenting verlden har nagonsin
uppstaeckts, som uppnar Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound for
magsjukdomar.
=Hafvande Tillstand.=--Vid barnsboerd intraffer mycken smaerta och lidande,
som kunde helt och hallet undvikas om den blifvande modern staerkte sitt
system genom regelbunden behandling med Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable
Compound under en period af tva manader foere barnsboerden.

LE REMEDE VEGETAL DE LYDIA E. PINKHAM.
=Le Remede Vegetal de Lydia E. Pinkham= est un remede absolument sur pour
toutes les maladies de femme telles que le prolapsus de la matrice, la
leucorrhee, les menstrues irregulieres et douloureuses, l'inflammation
et l'ulceration de la matrice et des ovaires, ainsi que pour toutes les
autres affections des organes genitaux de la femme, et les maladies des
reins et du foie des deux sexes.
Il se compose des herbes et racines les plus pures, telles que les
pourvoit la nature elle meme.
=Menstrues.=--Il n'est pas a desirer que les regles aient lieu a un age
trop jeune, quoiqu'en general les menstrues commencent entre la 13e et
la 15e annee, la constitution de la jeune fille y jouant un certain
role. Si la fille a atteint cet age et qu'elle n'ait pas encore ses
regles, la mere ne saurait etre trop soigneuse; il est probable que la
fille est pale et maigre, et que son teint montre cette couleur livide
qui nous fait craindre qu'elle ne devienne sous peu la victime de la
phthisie et qu'elle ne devienne fortement neurasthenique. Pour empecher
un tel malheur rien n'egale "Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound." Il
produit d'une maniere salutaire et prompte le changement qui devrait
alors avoir lieu, en prevenant ainsi de longues annees de souffrances,
resultat inevitable de tout manque de precaution. Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound doit etre pris strictement selon les instructions,
jusqu'a ce que les regles aient lieu tous les 28 jours. Si, de plus, il
y a de la constipation, on se servira des Pilules de Foie de Lydia E.
Pinkham, faites expres pour l'usage des femmes et operant entierement
d'accord avec le remede.
=L'Absence des Regles= apres qu'elles ont commence une fois, a moins
qu'elle ne soit due a la grossesse ou a l'allaitement, est une affaire
de la plus grande importance et personne ne devrait manquer de se servir
de Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound jusqu'a ce que de nouveau les
menstrues se montrent regulierement.
=Regles Douloureuses.=--Il y a bien des femmes qui, pendant le temps de
leurs regles, souffrent des douleurs tout a fait terribles. Notre remede
guerira d'une maniere sure cette affection n'importe si c'est un cas
recent ou vieux de plusieurs mois. On peut s'attendre a une guerison
sure et efficace pourvu que le remede soit pris regulierement et suivant
les instructions.
=Les Regles Excessives= se montrent d'abord chez des personnes sanguines
et chez les personnes affaiblies et pales. Notre remede, Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, a obtenu des resultats tout a fait
merveilleux dans ces cas. Pour guerir l'exces ou l'hemorrhagie des
regles nous conseillons l'emploi du remede dans sa forme seche, c'est a
dire en pilules ou en pastilles.
=L'Inflammation ainsi que L'Ulceration de la Matrice= peuvent etre
regardees comme cause de presque toutes les maladies de la femme.
Cependant Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a gueri plus d'un
million de maladies de la matrice. Les rapports que nous recevons des
femmes qui ont failli en mourir et qui ensuite ont ete gueries, sont
presque incroyables. La femme peut s'assurer assez facilement, si elle
est atteinte ou non d'une affection de la matrice, vu le fait
qu'ordinairement elle est sujette a des tiraillements d'estomac, a des
peines dans les reins, a des evanouissements, a l'engourdissement des
membres et a une foule d'autres douleurs. Le seul remede infaillible
pour guerir toutes ces affections est Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound.
=La Leucorrhee= que nous connaissons plus familierement sous le nom de
"Fleurs Blanches," represente un des premiers symptomes de
l'inflammation de la matrice. Le mal se montre sous la forme d'une
secretion blanchatre du vagin, enfaiblissant le systeme et exercant un
irritation tres serieuse sur la muqueuse du vagin. L'emploi regulier de
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, grace a son effet sur le systeme,
ainsi que de la Lotion Sanitaire de Lydia E. Pinkham (Lydia E. Pinkham's
Sanative Wash) appliquee sous forme d'injections dans le vagin, ne
tardera guere de guerir les cas les plus obstines de leucorrhee. En
negligeant cette maladie desastreuse on est sur de donner lieu a des
secretions excessives, a des ulceres ainsi qu'a la plus dangereuse de
toutes les maladies--le Cancer.
=Prolapsus de la Matrice.=--Il y a un grand nombre de deplacements dont le
plus important est appele "le prolapsus de la matrice." Celui-ci est
produit d'abord par une relaxation des ligaments qui, dans leur etat
normal, maintiennent cet organe a sa place. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound fortifiera ces ligaments, l'inflammation disparaitra et peu a
peu l'organe sera remis dans sa condition normale. Notre remede aura de
plus un succes indiscutable pour guerir toutes les tumeurs de la
matrice pourvu qu'on commence a s'en servir des leurs premiere phases.
=L'Inflammation des Ovaires= est une des maladies les plus desastreuses
atteignant les femmes entre la vingtieme et la quarantieme annee. Les
personnes qui en souffrent s'apercevront vite d'une sensibilite
extraordinaire dans la region des ovaires, de plus des sensations
d'enflements desagreables, surtout dans la periode des regles. Souvent
la douleur s'etend aux flancs et au dos, surtout au flanc gauche, et il
se fait sentir un desir incessant d'uriner. A moins que cette affection
ne soit arretee promptement rien ne pourra sauver la malade d'une
operation. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, cependant, a gueri les
maladies d'ovaires de milliers de femmes et bien de femmes ont ete assez
heureuses, par consequent, pour echapper a un long traitement a
l'hopital ainsi qu'a une operation des plus serieuses.
=La Sterilite= est tres souvent une consequence directe d'une inflammation
chronique de la matrice et d'une faiblesse extreme. L'emploi regulier de
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a souvent retabli les fonctions
normales de l'organe generateur, et a ainsi detruit cette idee fatale
que la sterilite etait incurable.
=La Periode Climaterique ou Changement de Vie= est une periode tres
importante et assez dangereuse pour toute femme qui a passe l'age de 45
ans. Pendant cette periode les femmes sont atteintes de toute espece de
maladies et de peines; l'emploi regulier de Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound cependant va leur garantir une immunite parfaite contre tout
accident dangereux qui pourrait leur survenir dans cette periode.
=Les Maladies des Reins et de la Vessie=, chez les deux sexes, sont tres
frequentes et tres obstinees. Aussi peuvent-elles devenir tres
dangereuses et meme fatales, si l'on manque de s'en occuper des
l'apparence des premiers symptomes. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, que nous conseillons d'employer le plus tot possible, est la
=medicine par excellence= qui dans tous les cas de maladies du foie et de
la vessie produira un resultat simplement merveilleux chez l'homme et
chez la femme, et qui ne manquera guere de sauver une vie trop souvent
menacee fatalement.
=Le Mal de Dos=, quelque frequent qu'il soit, n'est guere une maladie
proprement dite, mais plutot un symptome de la plus haute importance,
comme il indique par le centre dorsal du grand nerf sympathique, qu'il y
a une affection des organes generateurs qu'on fera bien de ne point
negliger. Aussitot que ces affections ou uterines, ou ovariennes ou
renales sont gueries par l'emploi de Lydia Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
ce mal de dos tourmentant va cesser tout seul.
=Dyspepsie et Indigestion.=--Rien au monde n'egale la force guerissante de
notre remede pour toutes les maladies de l'estomac.
=Grossesse.=--Une grande partie des douleurs et des souffrances qu'en
general les femmes doivent endurer en accouchant pourraient etre
evitees, si elles se preparaient convenablement en fortifiant leur
systeme par l'emploi de Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, a peu
pres deux mois avant l'accouchement.
MODE D'EMPLOI.
Prenez une cuilleree de Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound toutes les
4 heures pendant la journee pour guerir chacune des maladies decrites
ci-dessus.
Trempez le quart d'un paquet de Lydia E. Pinkham's Sanative Wash (Lotion
Sanitaire) dans assez d'eau pour obtenir une pinte apres la filtration;
la secretion etant tres forte on doit employer la moitie de cette
quantite a laquelle on ajoutera une pinte d'eau chaude. Employez la
lotion chaque jour en l'injectant dans le vagin.
Pour guerir la constipation, la migraine, les attaques bilieuses, prenez
trois pilules la premiere nuit, deux la suivante et une la troisieme et
continuez jusqu'a ce que la boite soit vide, a moins qu'il n'y ait pas
une evacuation reguliere plus tot.
Quand le sang est appauvri et que le malade est toujours fatigue, bien
amaigri et sans appetit, rien au monde ne lui fera autant de bien que le
remede purificateur Lydia E. Pinkham's Blood Purifier. Une cuilleree
trois fois par jour guerira les rhumatismes, la scrofule et toutes
sortes d'eruptions de la peau.
Vendu chez tous les pharmaciens.
Prepare par Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Company,
Lynn, Mass., E. U.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Kraeutermittel, unter dem Namen "Vegetable Compound"
auf den Markt gebracht, ist ein absolut zuverlaessiges Heilmittel fuer
saemmtliche Frauenkrankheiten, einschliesslich Vorfall der Gebaermutter,
Leukorrhoe, unregelmaessige und schmerzhafte Menstruation, Entzuendung und
Geschwuerbildung in der Gebaermutter und den Eierstoecken, ferner fuer alle
sonstigen Schwaechezustaende in den weiblichen Geschlechtsorganen und fuer
Nierenkrankheiten bei beiden Geschlechtern. Das Mittel ist aus den
reinsten und erlesensten Wurzeln und Kraeutern, wie sie Mutter Natur zur
Heilung aller Frauenleiden selbst geschaffen hat, zusammengestellt.
=Menstruation.= Eine uebermaessig fruehe Menstruation ist keineswegs
wuenschenswerth; obwohl die Monatsregel oder Menstruation im Allgemeinen
in der Zeit vom dreizehnten bis zum fuenfzehnten Jahre aufzutreten
pflegt, wobei jedoch viel von der Constitution des betreffenden Maedchens
abhaengt. Hat sie jedoch dieses Alter erreicht, und sollte sich die
Menstruation noch nicht eingestellt haben, so muss die Mutter sich um die
Sache bekuemmern. Wahrscheinlich ist das junge Maedchen mager und blass,
wobei der Teint ein besonders, gelbliches Aussehen hat, so dass es nur zu
leicht ein Opfer der Auszehrung und allgemeiner Nervenschwaeche wird. Fuer
solche Faelle ist Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound geradezu
unvergleichlich. Es traegt vor allem dazu bei, dass der Wechsel im
Maedchenleben, der um diese Zeit eintreten sollte, auch richtig
stattfindet, und es verhindert somit jahrelanges Leiden, das in der
Regel eine sichere Folge einer Vernachlaessigung in diesem Sinne bildet.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound sollte genau nach Vorschrift
eingenommen werden, bis die Regeln regelmaessig sich alle 28 Tage
einstellen. Zeigt sich Anlage zu Verstopfung, so muss man auch Lydia E.
Pinkham's Leberpillen brauchen, die speciell fuer den Gebrauch von Frauen
zusammengestellt worden sind und in jeder Beziehung harmonisch mit dem
"Compound" zusammenwirken.
=Ausbleiben der Regeln.= Mit diesem Ausdruck bezeichnet man das
Nichterscheinen der Menstruation, nachdem dieselbe einmal zu erscheinen
angefangen hat. Ein derartiges Ausbleiben, sofern es nicht der
Schwangerschaft oder dem Stillen zuzuschreiben ist, ist eine ernsthafte
Angelegenheit, und Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound muss eingenommen
werden, bis die Menstruation wieder regelmaessig eintritt. Durch den
Gebrauch dieses Mittels kann man zuverlaessig alle Unregelmaessigkeiten
beseitigen.
=Schmerzhafter Monatsfluss.= Bei vielen Frauen verursacht der Monatsfluss
ueberaus grosse Schmerzen, und alle, die daran leiden, sollten ja nicht
verfehlen, sich durch den Gebrauch von Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound von dieser wahrhaften Geissel zu retten. Dabei ist es
gleichgueltig, ob der Fall ein akuter ist oder ob er schon viele Monate
gedauert hat. Vorausgesetzt, dass das Vegetable Compound regelmaessig und
genau nach Vorschrift genommen wird, darf man zuverlaessig eine Heilung
erwarten.
=Zu starker Monatsfluss.= Sowohl vollbluetige als auch besonders
bleichsuechtige und schwaechliche Personen leiden haeufig unter zu starker
Menstruation. Gerade mit Bezug auf derartige Zustaende vermag Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound ausserordentlich guenstige Resultate
aufzuweisen. Doch empfehlen wir bei zu reichlich auftretender Blutung
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound in seiner trockenen Form, d. h. in
der Form von Pillen oder Pastillen einzunehmen.
Beinahe alle Frauenkrankheiten haben ihren Ursprung in =Entzuendung und
Geschwuerbildung in der Gebaermutter=, und es ist daher nicht genug
hervorzuheben, dass Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound schon mehr als
eine Million Faelle von Gebaermutteraffektionen gluecklich geheilt hat.
Fast unglaublich klingen die Berichte vieler Frauen, die todtkrank
waren, und die dem Vegetable Compound ihre Rettung verdanken. Es ist
nicht schwer fuer eine Frau zu erkennen, ob sie an einer Affektion der
Gebaermutter leidet, da eine derartige Erkrankung fast stets von
ziehenden, aeusserst empfindlichen Schmerzen im Unterleib,
Rueckenschmerzen, Ohnmachtsanfaellen, Erstarrung "Einschlafen" der
Gliedmassen, sowie von einer Reihe anderer Schmerzen begleitet ist. Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound ist ein unfehlbares Mittel gegen alle
derartigen Erkrankungen.
=Die Leukorrhoe oder der weisse Fluss.= Eines der allerersten Symptome, die
eine Entzuendung der Gebaermutter anzeigen, ist die Leukorrhoe, oder wie
man sich gewoehnlich ausdrueckt: Der weisse Fluss. Derselbe zeigt sich als
eine weissliche Absonderung aus der Vagina oder Mutterscheide, die den
Koerper auffallend angreift und schwaecht und besonders die empfindliche
Schleimhaut des Scheidekanals irritiert. Aber selbst die hartnaeckigsten
Faelle von weissem Fluss lassen sich positiv kurieren durch den Gebrauch
von Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound in Verbindung mit Lydia E.
Pinkham's "Sanative Wash" oder "hygienischem Waschwasser." Das erstere
staerkt das System und das zweite heilt die lokalen Erscheinungen, da es
direct in die Scheide eingespritzt wird. Man huete sich ja, diese Art von
Krankheit zu vernachlaessigen, da sich sonst leicht Geschwuere und
uebermaessige Absonderung einstellen koennen, die oftmals den ersten Grund
zu der schrecklichsten aller Krankheiten -- dem Krebs legen.
=Gebaermuttervorfall.= Es giebt eine Reihe von Faellen, wo die Gebaermutter
eine Veraenderung ihrer normalen Lage erleidet; von diesen ist der
wichtigste der sogenannte Gebaermuttervorfall. Derselbe kommt
hauptsaechlich von einer Erschlaffung der Baender her, die dieses Organ
stuetzen und in seiner richtigen Lage erhalten sollen. Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound staerkt diese Baender, vermindert die Entzuendung und
verleiht nach und nach den erkrankten Theilen ihren frueheren, normalen
Zustand wieder.
Die =Entzuendung der Eierstoecke= ist eine aeusserst schwere Erkrankung, die
Frauen im Alter von 20 bis 40 Jahren befaellt. Sie ist stets von grosser
Empfindlichkeit und scharfen Schmerzen in der Gegend der Eierstoecke
begleitet, wozu sich ein Gefuehl der Voelle, besonders zur Zeit der
Menstruation, gesellt. Die Schmerzen erstrecken sich auch haeufig auf die
Seite und den Ruecken, mit Vorliebe aber auf die linke Seite, in
Verbindung mit fortwaehrendem Verlangen das Wasser abzuschlagen. Wird
nicht prompt gegen diese Erkrankung eingeschritten, so vermag nichts den
Kranken vom Messer des Chirurgen zu retten. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound hat aber tausende von Faellen von Eierstockerkrankungen geheilt
und hat viele Frauen der Nothwendigkeit enthoben, sich im Hospital einer
gefaehrlichen Operation auszusetzen.
=Unfruchtbarkeit= ist oft weiter nichts als der Folgezustand ausnehmender
Schwaeche, sowie einer chronischen Entzuendung der Gebaermutter.
Der regelmaessige Gebrauch von Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound hat
schon in vielen Faellen die weiblichen Zeugungsorgane wiederum ihrer
normalen Thaetigkeit zurueckgegeben und eine anscheinend gaenzliche
Unfruchtbarkeit gluecklich gehoben.
Die sogenannten =Wechseljahre= oder die =Menopause= sind eine Zeit
wirklicher Gefahr fuer alle diejenigen Frauen, die das 45. Jahr
ueberschritten haben. Waehrend dieser Zeit sind die Frauen allen moeglichen
Beschwerden und Erkrankungen ausgesetzt, die sich aber alle vermeiden
lassen, ohne ernstliche Krankheit oder sogar den Tod fuerchten zu muessen,
wenn man waehrend dieser sehr wichtigen Periode des Frauenlebens
regelmaessig Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound einnimmt.
=Nieren- und Blasenbeschwerden= sind haeufige und hartnaeckige Leiden beider
Geschlechter. Sie sind alle heilbar, vorausgesetzt, dass man sich bei
Zeiten um sie kuemmert; werden sie aber vernachlaessigt, so koennen sie
leicht verhaengnisvoll werden und sogar den Tod nach sich ziehen. Sicher
ist aber, dass Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound als ausgezeichnetes
Mittel zur Heilung aller Nieren- und Blasenkrankheiten von keinem
anderen bisher erfundenen Mittel uebertroffen wird. Maenner und Frauen
koennen volles Vertrauen in dasselbe setzen.
=Rueckenschmerzen= sind nicht eine Krankheit, sondern sind vielmehr nur
ein, gewisse Krankheiten anzeigendes, Symptom. Bei Krankheiten der
Geschlechtsorgane wird der grosse sympathische Nerv, dessen Hauptcentrum
im unteren Theil des Rueckens liegt, in Mitleidenschaft gezogen und
verkuendet sozusagen das Vorhandensein einer derartigen Krankheit.
Dadurch, dass Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound alle Affektionen der
Gebaermutter, der Eierstoecke und der Nieren heilt, heilt es auch das so
sehr peinigende Rueckenweh.
=Verdauungsbeschwerden.= Es giebt in der ganzen Welt kein besseres Mittel
gegen alle Stoerungen der Magenthaetigkeit als gerade Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
=Schwangerschaft.= Oftmals ist die Geburt eines Kindes mit vielen
Schmerzen und Beschwerden fuer die Mutter verbunden, und doch koennten
alle diese zum grossen Theil vermieden werden, wollte nur die Mutter
ungefaehr zwei Monate vor der Entbindung anfangen, ihren Koerper durch den
regelmaessigen Gebrauch von Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound zu
kraeftigen.
Gebrauchsanweisung.
Fuer saemmtliche oben erwaehnte Beschwerden nehme man alle vier Stunden
waehrend des Tages je einen Essloeffel voll von Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound ein.
* * * * *
Man weiche ein Viertel Packet von Lydia E. Pinkham's Sanative Wash in
genuegend Wasser, um nach dem Durchseihen ein Pint zu haben. Ist die
Absonderung sehr bedeutend, so brauche man die Haelfte der so erhaltenen
Fluessigkeit, fuege noch ein Pint warmen Wassers dazu und benuetze diese
Fluessigkeit, um taeglich Einspritzungen in die Scheide zu machen.
* * * * *
Gegen Verstopfung, Migraene, sowie Gallendrang nehme man drei von Lydia
E. Pinkham's Leberpillen die erste Nacht, zwei die zweite Nacht und eine
die dritte Nacht; tritt auch dann noch kein regelmaessiger Stuhlgang ein,
so nehme man eine Pille jede Nacht soweit der Vorrath reicht.
* * * * *
Befindet sich das Blut in schlechtem Zustande und ist der Patient immer
muede, abgemagert und angegriffen, und leidet er dazu noch an
Appetitmangel, so benuetze er Lydia E. Pinkham's Blood Purifier
(Blut-Reiniger), das beste Mittel auf der Welt fuer diesen Zweck. Dreimal
im Tage ein Essloeffel voll heilt zuverlaessig alle Faelle von Rheumatismus,
Skropheln, Hautausschlaege, &c. &c.
In allen Apotheken zu haben.

TESTIMONIALS.
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
I wish all women suffering from female troubles might know what you have
done for me. A year ago last June I was very sick, and on examination my
physician said I had Polypus of the womb and that I would not stop
flowing until I had an operation. I always had a horror of operations
and could not bear the thoughts of having one, as I am a nervous person.
I wrote to you and followed all your directions faithfully, and all the
while I prayed that I might not have to have one. At that time I could
hardly walk across the floor and I was pale and thin. Now I weigh one
hundred and thirty-five pounds, do all my work, and my husband and
children say that I am growing young. I am still taking your medicine
and will do so until after the turn of life.
MRS. NELSON BAVIER,
West Hartford, Conn.
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
I suffered for over three years with female weakness brought on by
falling on an icy pavement. I had frequent backache and fearful
headaches, blinding me with pain. I also had intense pains at the
menstrual period. My family physician prescribed several remedies, but
although he was considered an excellent physician, he was unable to
relieve me. A cousin who visited me had a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound with her and spoke so highly of its efficacy that I
took a few doses of it. I was pleased and surprised to find that it
seemed to relieve my pains in twenty-four hours. I took it regularly,
and within twenty-four hours more I felt like a different woman, and two
weeks continued use of it restored me to health and strength such as I
had not known in years. I consider Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
the only medicine on the market which is reliable for the ills of the
sex.

I would like to have your advice as I am a married woman and would be
pleased to have children. I cannot tell what is the trouble, but I lose
them and I am as careful as I can be. It happens just when I am on the
fourth month. I have just had my third miscarriage and been flowing over
two weeks and have much pain in back and womb. My menstruation is very
painful and some months I have it twice. My stomach bothers me. I suffer
with indigestion and dyspepsia.
MRS. FRANK WILCOX.
August 25, 1903.
I will let you know that I have a son, and if it had not been for Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I would not have my baby. Your medicine
kept me well until the last minute. I did not know what an ache was. I
used fourteen bottles of the Compound and three boxes of your Liver
Pills. I cannot thank your medicine too much as it has done me more good
than the doctors.

I have been a sufferer for seven years with womb trouble, ever since my
child was born. My doctor says my ovaries are affected also and will
have to be taken out. I suffer with pains in my back and left side and
at times cannot rest day or night. I have leucorrhoea and menstruation
is very irregular and very free with a good deal of pain. I was told to
write you for advice.
MRS. J. D. CURTIS.
September 25, 1903.
I am still taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and have
improved wonderfully, have gained ten pounds and feel like a new woman.
I will recommend your medicine to all women suffering from female
trouble for it has done me more good than the doctors have for three
years. You are perfectly welcome to use my name and statement for the
good of others for everyone ought to know of your wonderful medicine.

I was reading to-day in a paper of the recovery of a lady after writing
to you and as her case seemed to be very much the same as mine, I was
impressed with the desire to write to you to see if I could not get
relief. I am the mother of two children and have never had any weakness
of any kind until the past year. I am pregnant at present, my back pains
me nearly all the time and left side of abdomen. My back pains so
sometimes I cannot stand on my feet or straighten up. My appetite is
poor and my friends tell me I look badly. I hope that you will be able
to give me some advice.
MRS. D. D. EDDY.
June 27, 1903.
About one year and a half ago, I wrote you in regard to my taking your
medicine. I was pregnant at the time and in perfect misery. I suffered
everything. You very kindly wrote to me advising your Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound which I began to take at once and when my baby was
born, I was sick only half an hour and the sixth day I was upon my feet
and felt as well and strong as I ever felt in my life. My baby is a
strong healthy boy.
I wish to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kind letter to
me. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the grandest medicine in
the world for women. I shall recommend it as long as I live.
MRS. D. D. EDDY,
243 East Ave., Saratoga Springs, N.Y.
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
I am very grateful for the good Lydia Pinkham's Vegetable Compound did
for me. I began using it when I thought there was no help for me and
that I would be an invalid for life. The doctor said that I would not
get well unless I underwent an operation for ovarian and female
difficulties. I was afraid that my health would not stand the strain and
so when a friend who was similarly afflicted told me of the good Lydia
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound did her, I immediately began to use it and
I am glad that I did so, for in less than four months I could report as
she did a perfect cure. Words fail to express my thankfulness.
Very truly yours,
MARGRITE RYAN,
Hotel English, Indianapolis, Ind.

Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
Last Spring my health seemed gradually to decline, until I finally felt
so weak I thought I would have to give up entirely. I lost my appetite,
had headaches, and bearing down pains with cramps so that I was in
perfect misery. I became wakeful and extremely nervous.
Reading of the value of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound in our
paper here, I decided to try it, and am pleased to state that I derived
immediate benefit, and soon enjoyed permanent relief. Within eight weeks
I was restored to normal health, and felt refreshed and strengthened as
though I had enjoyed a lengthy vacation. Since that time I have
recommended your Compound to a number of my lady friends suffering with
female irregularities, and those who have used it report great benefit
from its use.

~Don't~
Don't wait until your suffering have driven you to despair, with
your nerves all shattered and your courage gone.
Help and happiness surely await you if you accept Mrs. Pinkham's advice.
Disease makes women nervous, irritable, and easily annoyed by children
and household duties; such women need the counsel and help of a woman
who understands the peculiar troubles of her sex; that woman is Mrs.
Pinkham, who with that famous medicine, =Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound=, has restored thousands upon thousands of sick and discouraged
women to health and happiness. Her address is Lynn, Mass., and her
advice is free. Write to-day, do not wait.
=Will not the volumes of letters from women who have been made strong by
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound convince others of the virtues of
this great medicine?=
=When a medicine has been successful in more than a million cases, is it
justice to yourself to say, without trying it, "I do not believe it
would help me?"=
=Surely you cannot wish to remain weak and sick and discouraged,
exhausted with each day's work. If you have some derangement of the
feminine organism try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It will
surely help you.=
I am firmly persuaded after eight years experience with Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound that it is the safest and best medicine for
any suffering woman to use.
Immediately after my marriage I found that my health began to fail me. I
became weak and pale with severe bearing down pains, fearful headaches
and frequent dizzy spells. The doctors prescribed for me and yet I did
not improve. I would at times bloat after eating and have frequent
vomiting. I had acrid discharge and pains down through my limbs so I
could hardly walk. It was as bad a case of female trouble as I have ever
known. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cured me within four months
and since that time I have had occasion to recommend it to a number of
patients suffering with all forms of female difficulties and I found
that while it is considered unprofessional to recommend patent
medicines, I could honestly recommend your Vegetable Compound for I have
found it cures where other medicines fail. My mother and two sisters
have used it also and their health has been restored and their strength
renewed. It is a grand medicine for sick women.

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done me a great deal of good.
When I first had my monthly period I suffered very much. I would have
such headaches, also pain in abdomen and side. Was not able to go to
school.
After taking several bottles of your medicine I was relieved of my
trouble and I am now well and enjoying good health.
MISS MARY E. ROGERS,
Kipton, Ohio.
October 8, 1901.
It gives me great pleasure to tell what your Vegetable Compound has done
for me for the benefit of other suffering women. I would have been a
total wreck and probably not living to-day had I not taken your
medicine. My legs were so stiff and my back so sore that I could not be
on my feet and at times I would have the sick headache so bad that I did
not know what I was doing. I also had leucorrhoea all the time which
caused me to feel very weak. I lost in flesh until I weighed only
ninety-eight pounds.
I was unable to carry babe to maturity. My first child being born in
seven months. Since taking your medicine I have had two little girls
which are pictures of health and which I owe to Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. I have taken twelve bottles of the Vegetable
Compound, used one box of Liver Pills which I found excellent to
regulate the bowels. I am now in good health and weigh one hundred and
twenty-five pounds.
I cannot praise your medicine enough for the benefit I have derived from
its use. What a blessing it is that women can consult with a lady and if
every woman feels as I do, they would all consult you far and near.
MRS. NELSON F. SPANGLER,
Center Oak, Pa.
April 18, 1901
I will now write you a letter of gratitude for what your medicine has
done for me. I suffered with very painful menstruation and could not
become pregnant which was my great desire. I began the use of your
medicine and after taking sixteen bottles I found myself pregnant. I
continued the use of your Vegetable Compound and felt well all the time.
Last October my baby was born, it was a girl and weighed eleven and
one-half pounds. It is my belief that I would never have had my baby if
I had not used your medicine.
I recommend Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to all, believing
there is no better medicine for women.
MRS. CHAS. ROHDE,
621 Vine Street, Peoria, Ill.
I have intended for some time to write to you and tell you what Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me. I had been feeling weak
and nervous, very easily tired and had much backache.
I took two bottles of your Compound and felt so much better that I
enjoyed, instead of dreading my household duties.
I can and do gladly recommend your medicines to anyone suffering from
female troubles.

Household Cares

A Sick Woman's Devotion to Duty is a Heroism which a Well Person Cannot
Understand.
How distressing to see a woman struggling with her daily round of
household duties, when her back and head are aching, and every movement
brings out a new pain.
One day the poor woman is wretched and utterly miserable; in a day or
two she is better, and laughs at her fears, thinking there is nothing
much the matter after all; but before night the deadly backache
reappears, the limbs tremble, the lips twitch--it seems as though all
the imps of Satan were clutching her vitals; she "goes to pieces" and is
flat on her back.
No woman ought to arrive at this terrible state of misery, because these
symptoms are a sure forerunner of womb troubles. She must remember that
=Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound= is almost an infallible cure for
all female ills, such as irregularity of periods, which cause weak
stomach, sick headache, etc., displacements and inflammation of the
womb, or any of the multitude of illnesses which beset the female
organism. Read how Mrs. Frake wrote to Mrs. Pinkham when she was in
great trouble. Her letter tells the result, and how a cure was effected
by the use of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
_READ THESE LETTERS FROM MRS. FRAKE._
"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:--I have read of your medicine making so many cures,
and have been advised to write to you, but I feel that it is of no use.
The doctor says that I have womb trouble, but he does not seem to help
me a great deal. I have such a weakness across me most of the time--have
backache, am very nervous, and am troubled with leucorrhoea. I am very
weak, cannot walk any distance or stand long unless I ache all over. I
would like to know it you think your medicine would do me any
good."--MRS. SAMUEL FRAKE, Prospect Plains, N.J.
"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:--I cannot thank you enough for what =Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound= has done for me. When I first wrote to you
I had suffered for years. The doctor said I had congestion of the womb,
was troubled with my kidneys and bladder, my back ached dreadfully all
the time, and I suffered with bearing-down feeling, could scarcely walk
about to do my own housework. I stopped doctoring with the physician and
took your medicine, and am now able to do my own work, have no more
backache or weakness across me, and can do all my own work. I cannot
praise your medicine enough, and would advise all suffering women to try
it."--MRS. SAMUEL FRAKE, Prospect Plains, N.J.

June 10, 1901.
My daughter sixteen years old, has been in very poor health ever since
the change to womanhood a year ago. She had the best of doctors but they
did her little good. She complained of feeling tired all the time, did
not care for anything, pain in her back, very nervous, poor in flesh and
so pale. It made her tired to ride or walk any distance, could not go to
school. Some thought she could not live long. Through the use of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound she is now in the best of health. I feel
that your medicine saved her life.
MRS. ANNA HUGHES,
Altmar, N. Y.
December 12, 1902.
About a month ago I took a very bad cold and it was at time of
menstruation and it stopped my menses. I began to have pains in my
ovaries and at last I had inflammation of the ovaries and pain in my
kidneys and bladder. I got over that but did not flow hardly any. The
last time I came around I began to have that pain in my right ovary and
it lasted a week and I have been flowing for a week. I would like some
advice as I do not know what to think of my case.
MISS RUBY MUSHRUSH.
July 22, 1903.
About three months ago the doctor turned the X-ray on me to see what was
the matter and found that I had an abscess near my ovary and in a place
that if it had broken would have killed me right away.
The doctor's medicine did me no good, so Mama went to the store and got
me a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I am now so well
that I can work, thanks to your medicine. It has saved me from an
operation.
MISS RUBY MUSHRUSH,
East Chicago, Ind.
February 10, 1902.
As I have heard and read so much about your medicine, I have decided to
write you and tell you my trouble and ask your advice. I am completely
run down, am a widow, twenty-five years old, and have one boy five years
old. I have never been strong since the birth of my child. Menstruation
is irregular and scanty and am always in such distress, pain in lower
abdomen and limbs, pain and dizziness in head, cold hands and feet, poor
appetite, sick headache, nervous, have leucorrhoea badly, bearing down
pains in small of back, pain in both sides, also have catarrh of head
and throat. I have had different doctors but they do not help me and I
am discouraged. I will be glad to hear from you. Would like to feel well
once more.
MRS. ANNIE M. WAHL.
June 1, 1902.
I think it is my duty to let everyone know what Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound has done for me. It has made me well and happy. Five
months ago I could hardly walk across the room, I was so full of pain. I
could scarcely step. I now feel like a new woman. I sleep well and have
a good appetite. I used to get such awful sick headache spells, but now
I have them no more. Also would be troubled with awful bearing down pain
at time of menstruation but have also been relieved of this. I cannot
praise your medicine enough. I think it is the best thing made for
women. I advise, everyone who suffers with female trouble to try Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
MRS. ANNIE M. WAHL,
Bellwood, Blair Co., Pa.
October 10, 1901.
I think it is my duty to let you know the good that Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound has done for me. I think it is the best medicine in
the world. I was well until I weaned my baby and then I began to bloat
and had bearing down pains. I took to filling up with water in my
abdomen. I had the doctor and he said it was abdominal dropsy and that
not having menstruation was the cause of it. He said I would have to be
tapped. He tapped me once and took eleven quarts of water from me and in
a week I began to fill up again and he was waiting to tap me again. I
wrote to Mrs. Pinkham and began to take the Vegetable Compound and the
water began to leave me. When I had taken two bottles it had all left me
and menses appeared. I now feel as well as I ever did and am able to do
all my work. I feel very thankful to you.

Backache
~MISS PEARL ACKERS.~
The ordinary every-day life of most of our women is a ceaseless
treadmill of work. How much harder the daily tasks become when some
derangement of the female organs makes every movement painful and keeps
the nervous system all unstrung. One day she is wretched and utterly
miserable; in a day or two she is better and laughs at her fears,
thinking there is nothing much the matter after all; but before night
the deadly backache reappears, the limbs tremble, the lips twitch--it
seems as though all the imps of Satan were clutching her vitals, she
"goes to pieces" and is flat on her back.
No woman ought to arrive at this terrible state of misery, because these
symptoms are a sure indication of womb diseases, and backache is merely
a symptom of more serious trouble. Women should remember that an almost
infallible cure for all female ills, such as irregularity of periods,
which cause weak stomach, sick headache, etc., displacements and
inflammation of the womb, or any of the multitudes of illnesses which
beset the female organism may be found in
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
=When a medicine has been successful in more than a million cases, why
should you say, "I do not believe it will help me?" If you have some
derangement of the feminine organism try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound. It will surely help you. If there is anything in your case
about which you would like special advice, write freely to Mrs. Pinkham,
Lynn, Mass.; her advice is given free and will greatly help you.=
"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:--About two years ago I consulted a physician about
my health, which had become so wretched that I was no longer able to be
about. I had severe backache, bearing-down pains, pains across the
abdomen, was very nervous and irritable, and this trouble grew worse
each month.
"The physician prescribed for me, but I soon discovered he was unable to
help me, and I then decided to try =Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound=, and soon found that it was doing me good. My appetite was
returning, the pains disappearing, and the general benefits were well
marked.
"You cannot realize how pleased I was, and after taking the medicine for
only three months, I found I was completely cured of my trouble, and
have been well and hearty ever since and no more fear of the monthly
period, as it now passes without pain to me. Yours very truly, MISS
PEARL ACKERS, 327 North Summer St., Nashville, Tenn."
March 10, 1902.
I now write to tell you what your medicine has done for me. After my
first child was born, my womb came down so far that the doctor had to
replace it and it was always weak and would never stay in place.
A friend told me about Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I got one
bottle of it without any faith at all for I was so bad, I did not think
it would do as much good as she said. Well, I took seven bottles and now
I am entirely well.
I have used the Vegetable Compound right along when pregnant and found
it a great help, child-birth being almost painless. I have had four
children and have always been able to do my work even the washing until
the child was born. It certainly is a wonderful medicine for pregnant
women and I would not be without it at that time.
MRS. GEORGE GOODCHILD,
Port Kennedy, Pa.
June 9, 1901.
I had falling of the womb and such an aching across my pelvis bone could
hardly walk as the least jar hurt so. I was better before I had finished
the second bottle and after taking six bottles was entirely cured.
I can recommend Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to any one.

I take great pleasure in writing to thank you for what Lydia E.

I suffered for years with painful menstruation, pains in the back,
leucorrhoea, dizziness and nervous prostration.

I have been taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for the past
eight months and it has done me a great deal of good.
Before taking it, I suffered with my head and pains in my back and when
I had my changes I suffered agony, could hardly stand on my feet. I have
taken twelve bottles of the Compound and to-day I am a well woman. I
weighed one hundred and twenty pounds before taking it and now I weigh
one hundred and forty-five. I keep a laundry and recommend your medicine
to my customers.

April 29, 1902.
I write this letter so that all suffering women may know what your
wonderful medicine has done for me.
Before I began taking your medicine I was very weak and not able to do
anything. I had had a miscarriage and a bad flooding spell and my
husband had given up all hopes of my ever getting strong again.
Some of my friends told me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
I was in bed at the time. After taking a few doses I began to feel
better. I have taken now three bottles and am telling my friends what it
has done for me.
My husband would not have me do without the medicine.
MRS. GEORGE PERRY,
Box 52, Fort Gibson, Ind. Ter.
June 14, 1901.
When I wrote to you for advice a year and a half ago, I was confined to
my bed and had just about given up hopes of ever being well again. I had
heard so much about Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I told my
husband I would like to try it. He got me a bottle and after taking two
bottles I was able to get up and walk a little.
My trouble was enlargement of the womb, also had ovarian trouble. I had
spells of flooding nearly losing my life at monthly periods. Altogether
I was sick and discouraged. The pains and aches I suffered I cannot
explain. I took seventeen bottles of your Vegetable Compound and was
cured. In due time I gave birth to a nice baby girl. My baby is now six
months old and so fat and healthy and I am so well, no more female
trouble or pain in back.

Fibroid Tumors Cured.
A distressing case of Fibroid Tumor, which baffled the skill of Boston
doctors. Mrs. Hayes, of Boston, Mass., in the following letter tells how
she was cured, after everything else failed, by =Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound=.
=Mrs. Hayes' First Letter Appealing to Mrs. Pinkham for Help:=
"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM--I have been under Boston doctors' treatment
for a long time without any relief. They tell me I have a fibroid
tumor. I cannot sit down without great pain, and the soreness
extends up my spine. I have bearing-down pains both back and front.
My abdomen is swollen, and I have had flowing spells for three
years. My appetite is not good. I cannot walk or be on my feet for
any length of time.
"The symptoms of Fibroid Tumor given in your little book accurately
describe my case, so I write to you for advice."--(Signed) MRS. E.
F. HAYES, 22 Ruggles St., (Roxbury) Boston, Mass.
=Note the result of Mrs. Pinkham's advice--although she advised Mrs.
Hayes, of Boston, to take her medicine--which she knew would help
her--her letter contained a mass of additional instructions as to
treatment, all of which helped to bring about the happy result.=
"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM--Sometime ago I wrote to you describing my
symptoms and asked your advice. You replied, and I followed all
your directions carefully, and to-day I am a well woman.
"The use of =Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound= entirely expelled
the tumor and strengthened my whole system. I can walk miles now.
"=Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound= is worth five dollars a
drop. I advise all women who are afflicted with tumors or female
trouble of any kind to give it a faithful trial."--(Signed) MRS. E.
F. HAYES, 99 Ziegler St., (Roxbury) Boston, Mass.
=Mountains of gold could not purchase such testimony--or take the place
of the health and happiness which Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
brought to Mrs. Hayes.=
Woman's Kidney Troubles.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is Especially Successful in Curing
this Fatal Woman's Disease.
Of all the diseases known with which the female organism is afflicted,
kidney disease is the most fatal. In fact, unless early and correct
treatment is applied, the weary patient seldom survives.
Being fully aware of this, Mrs. Pinkham, early in her career, gave
exhaustive study to the subject, and in producing her great remedy for
woman's ills--Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound--was careful to see
that it contained the correct combination of herbs which was sure to
control that fatal disease, woman's kidney troubles. The Vegetable
Compound acts in harmony with the laws that govern the entire female
system, and while there are many so-called remedies for kidney troubles,
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the only one especially
prepared for women.
The following letters will show how marvellously successful it is.
Oct. 17, 1901.
I have noticed your advertisement in the papers of your wonderful
medicine, and I wish to consult you in regard to my sickness.
I have been a sufferer of female weakness for the past six months; have
doctored a great deal, but it has done me no good. I have _kidney_ and
_bladder_ trouble, backache, constipation, headache, terrible pains in
my left side, have leucorrhoea, painful menstruation, which compels me
to take my bed for two and three days; also have falling of the womb.
Blood is very thin. I hope to hear from you soon.
MRS. W. N. MATTHEWS,
548 W. Jefferson St., Springfield, Ill.
April 15, 1902.
I am almost ashamed to acknowledge the receipt of your letter received
last Fall. After I had doctored for a year without receiving any relief,
I then wrote you for advice in regard to my sickness and began the use
of your medicine.
I am happy to say that I never felt better in my life than I do now. I
can eat hearty, sleep well, and feel like a new woman.
Many thanks for your kind and highly appreciated letter. I wish every
suffering woman would try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
MRS. W. N. MATTHEWS,
548 W. Jefferson St., Springfield, Ill.
June 15, 1901.
It affords me great pleasure to give you my testimony in regard to the
value of Lydia E. Pinkham's valuable remedies. I suffered for some time
with internal trouble, being at times unable to walk across the floor. I
had weakness of the bladder and was very nervous.
After taking one bottle Vegetable Compound I felt better. I continued
its use, and after taking five bottles could walk two miles without
difficulty. My health is now good and I am sixty years old.
I think your Vegetable Compound the best medicine I have ever taken.
MRS. HENRY GITTELMAN,
1004 N. 6th St., Reading, Pa.
June 26, 1901.
I will write and let you know how much good Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has done me.
I cannot express the terrible suffering I have had to endure. I was
taken last May with nervous prostration; also had female trouble, liver,
stomach, _kidney_ and _bladder_ trouble. I was in a terrible condition.
The doctor attended me for a year, but I kept getting worse. I got so I
was not able to do any work. Was confined to my bed most of the time,
and thought I would never be able to do anything. People thought I would
not live.
I decided to try your medicine. I have taken twelve bottles Vegetable
Compound and cannot praise it too highly, for I know it will do all and
even more than it is recommended to do. I tell every suffering woman
about your medicine and urge them to try it.

~Change of Life~
A Danger Period Through Which Every Woman Must Pass.
Owing to modern methods of living, not one woman in a thousand
approaches this perfectly natural change without experiencing a train of
very annoying and sometimes painful symptoms. At this period a woman
indicates a tendency towards obesity or tumorous growths.
Those dreadful hot flashes, sending the blood surging to the heart until
it seems ready to burst, and the faint feeling that follows, sometimes
with chills, as if the heart were going to stop forever, are only a few
of the symptoms of a dangerous nervous trouble. The nerves are crying
out for assistance. The cry should be heeded in time. =Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound= was prepared to meet the needs of woman's system at
this trying period of her life, and all women who use it pass through
this trying period with comfort and safety.
August 6, 1902.
My trouble was Change of Life and cramping. No human tongue can describe
what I suffered with the cramp. I dreaded from one time to another so
much that I almost wanted to die.
Our family physician did everything he could for me, but I got no
relief. He said if I lived to get through with the other trouble it
would wear away after a time, but I had it six years, and could not walk
or exercise in any way without bringing on an attack of the cramp, and I
would suffer untold misery until I would be perfectly exhausted and
helpless.
I read in one of your little books about Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound being good for female trouble and Change of Life, and thought
there was no harm in trying it. So I did, and it helped me, and I was
able to take walks and work some.
I am very thankful for the relief your medicine has been to me.
MRS. V. M. BLAKE,
Deep Water, W. Va.
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
I began to dread the approach of Change of Life some years ago, as so
many of my friends had been miserable for five or six years during that
period and as I was not very strong and being subject to headaches and
weakness, I felt that I did not have the strength to carry me through
this dangerous period and had it not been for Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, I feel that I would not have been alive to-day.
I began to take it about three years ago when I felt the change coming
on and continued taking it for three months, then I did not take any for
a couple of months, and began to feel so badly that I started to use it
again, and then continued to take it for about six months out of every
year for three years and am pleased to state that it has kept me free
from sickness.
Very truly yours,
MRS. GEORGE SHEPHERD,

I thought I would write and state my condition to you and ask if you
think you can do me any good. I am fifty-five years old, never had any
children. I came here from Brooklyn for my husband's health, he having
consumption. I have always had good health, never any trouble with my
menses, always regular until two or three months before my husband died,
which was March 25, 1901. As soon as he died, I commenced and flowed
constantly ever since. I know it must be the Change of Life. I did not
worry about it for four or five months, then I had a doctor but he did
me no good. I had another with the same result. Last May I had to go to
New York and traveling I think was too much for me as I have been worse.
I saw a doctor there and he wanted me to go to the hospital and have my
womb curetted, but I did not feel like having that done. I never have
any pain only once in a while a little backache. Please let me know if
you think you can do me any good.
MRS. J. J. REARDON.
January 18, 1903.
I feel that I must write and thank you for the good you have done me. I
wrote to you my case last summer. I flowed constantly for sixteen months
so badly that I dared not go any where and the doctors all said an
operation. Nothing did me any good. As a last resort I appealed to you.
I had no faith in your medicine, but thought I would try it and if it
did me no good I would go to the hospital. I took two boxes of the Lydia
E. Pinkham's Compound Pills and started on the third and now I am all
right. I was run down, nervous, could not sleep, no appetite, but Lydia
E. Pinkham's Compound has cured me entirely. I am very grateful to you
and wish that everyone afflicted as I was would try it.
MRS. J. J. REARDON,
Milford, Pa.
November 20, 1901.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound did wonders for me during the
_Change of Life_.
I was troubled with backache and headache, hot flashes and cold chills,
pains in my hips, and at times would have such pains under my shoulder
blades that I could hardly move for a while. I hope that other suffering
women will take your medicine.
Many thanks for what you have done for me.

TIRED MOTHERS
=A nervous, irritable mother, often on the verge of hysterics, is unfit
to care for children; it ruins a child's disposition and reacts upon
herself. The trouble between children and= their mothers too often is due
to the fact that the mother has some female weakness, and she is
entirely unfit to bear the strain upon her nerves that governing a child
involves; it is impossible for her to do anything calmly. She cannot
help it, as her condition is due to suffering and shattered nerves
caused by some derangement of the uterine system with backache,
headache, and all kinds of pain, and she is on the verge of nervous
prostration. When a mother finds that she cannot be calm and quiet with
her children, she may be sure that her condition needs attention, and
she cannot do better than to take
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
It builds up her system, strengthens her nerves, and enables her to
calmly handle a disobedient child without a scene. The children will
soon realize the difference, and seeing their mother quiet, will
themselves become quiet.
_=Read what the Vice-Pres. of the Mothers' Club, at Hot Springs, Ark.,
says:=_
"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM--=Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound= will
make every mother well, strong, healthy and happy. I dragged
through nine years of miserable existence, worn out with pain and
weariness. I then noticed a statement of a woman troubled as I was,
and the wonderful results she had obtained from your Compound, and
decided to try what it would do for me, and used it for three
months. At the end of that time I was a different woman, and the
neighbors remarked it, and my husband fell in love with me all over
again. It seemed like a new existence. I had been suffering with
inflammation and falling of the womb, but your medicine cured that,
and built up my entire system, till I was indeed like a new
woman."--Sincerely yours, MRS. CHAS. F. BROWN, Vice-Pres. Mothers'

I suffer something terrible with flooding every month and pass large
clots of blood. The pains are excruciating. I can hardly stand them. The
doctor says my ovaries are decayed and my womb needs to be scraped. I do
not wish to go under the operation if I can possibly avoid it. I hope
you can relieve me.
MRS. MARY DIMMICK.
September 16, 1903.
After giving Lydia E. Pinkham's wonderful remedies a thorough trial, I
am very anxious to send in my testimonial that others may learn of their
great value. I have been a great sufferer for the last eight years, the
trouble first originating from painful menstruation, and I also had
inflammation and ulceration of the womb. The doctor told me I must have
an operation or I could not live. I then wrote you telling all my
ailments. I followed your advice very carefully and am now entirely
well. I can walk miles without an ache or pain and can safely say I owe
my life and health to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I cannot
speak too highly of its merits. My friends all look at me in
astonishment, for my case was very serious and it seems almost a miracle
that I am cured. I wish suffering women could read this testimonial and
realize the value of your remedy. I shall take much pleasure in
recommending it to all.
MRS. MARY DIMMICK,

July 14, 1901.
Words cannot express the gratitude I feel towards you for what Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me.
My trouble was misplacement of the womb, also womb was lacerated, and
had inflammation of the ovaries. I went away for treatment to a
specialist on female diseases and passed through twelve operations. Was
gone from home eight weeks and gradually grew worse and returned home to
die, having given up all hope of ever getting well. My heart would stop
beating at times and I became very weak, could not sit up in bed.
A friend of mine brought me a bottle of the Vegetable Compound and I
began its use and by the time I had taken half a bottle I could see that
I had improved. I used in all twelve bottles of the Compound and am now
able to do all my house work and enjoy better health than I have in six
years. I owe my life to you, for I believe I would have been in my grave
to-day had it not been for the Vegetable Compound. Your medicine is a
God-send to suffering women.
MRS. J. A. JORDAN,
Canoe Station, Ga.
March 3, 1901.
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
I would like some advice from you as I have such very bad pains in
ovaries, falling of the womb, and every time I have my monthlys I have
the cramps very bad, and seem to be getting worse. I always have it a
week and I am so very nervous. I don't want an operation.
Every time I become pregnant I carry the child only seven months, and
then it is born and lives only a week or two. I have lost four children
this way and hope you will tell me what to take as I know you have
helped others.
MRS. FRED SEYDEL.
August 26, 1902.
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
Over a year ago I wrote you a letter asking for advice how to carry my
babes to full time as I had lost four children between five and seven
months.
I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and did as you instructed
me, and now I have a beautiful baby girl about six months old and we are
both healthy.
I advise all suffering women to call on you for help and I tell every
one of the good you have done me.

Last summer I had terrible pains in my back and head. I went to the
doctor and he told me I had a touch of Bright's disease and gave me some
medicine but it did me no good. My mother advised me to take some of
your medicine, and after taking eight bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound I can say that I am feeling well.

DYSPEPSIA OF WOMEN
=Requires Treatment which acts in Harmony with the Female System.=
A great many women suffer with a form of indigestion or dyspepsia which
does not seem to yield to ordinary medical treatment. While the symptoms
seem to be similar to those of ordinary indigestion, yet the medicines
universally prescribed do not seem to restore the patient's normal
condition. =Mrs. Pinkham= claims that there is a kind of dyspepsia that is
caused by derangement of the female organism, and which while it causes
disturbance similar to ordinary indigestion cannot be relieved without a
medicine which not only acts as a stomach tonic, but has peculiar
utero-tonic effects as well; in other words, a derangement of the female
organs may have such a disturbing effect upon a woman's whole system as
to cause serious indigestion and dyspepsia, and it cannot be relieved
without curing the original cause of the trouble, which seems to find
its source in the pelvic organs. As proof of this theory, we call
attention to the letter from Mrs. Maggie Wright, who was completely
cured by the use of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
"MY DEAR MRS. PINKHAM--For two years I suffered more or less with
dyspepsia, which so degenerated my entire system that I was unfit to
properly attend to my daily duties. I felt weak and nervous, and nothing
I ate tasted good or felt comfortable in my stomach. I tried several
dyspeptic cures, but nothing seemed to help me permanently. I decided to
give =Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound= a trial, and was happily
surprised to find that it acted like a fine tonic, and in a few days I
began to enjoy and properly digest my food. My recovery was rapid, and
in five weeks I was a different woman. Seven bottles completely cured
me, and a dozen or more of my friends have used it since."--MRS. MAGGIE
WRIGHT, 12 Van Voorhis St., Brooklyn, New York.
=Many women were utterly discouraged, and life lacked all joy to them
when they wrote Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass. They received advice which
made them strong women again.=

THE BLUES
=Don't Wait Until Your Sufferings Have Driven You To Despair, With Your
Nerves All Shattered and Your Courage Gone.=
When a cheerful, brave, light-hearted woman is suddenly plunged into
that perfection of misery, the BLUES, it is a sad picture. It is usually
this way:
She has been feeling "out of sorts" for some time; head has ached, and
back also; has slept poorly, been quite nervous, and nearly fainted once
or twice; head dizzy, and heart beats very fast; then that bearing-down
feeling. Her doctor says: "Cheer up; you have dyspepsia; you will be all
right soon." But she does not get "all right." She grows worse day by
day, till all at once she realizes that a distressing female complaint
is established. Her doctor has made a mistake. She has lost faith in
him; hope vanishes; then comes the brooding, morbid, melancholy,
everlasting BLUES. =Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound= instantly
asserts its curative powers in all those peculiar ailments of women, and
the story recited above is the true experience of hundreds of American
women, whose letters of gratitude we constantly publish.
=Surely you cannot wish to remain weak, and sick and discouraged,
exhausted with each day's work. If you have some derangement of the
female organism try the remedy that has restored a million women to
health=,
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM--I cheerfully recommended =Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound= to my suffering sisters as a perfect medicine for
all female derangements. I was troubled with displacement of the womb
and other female weakness. Had headache, backache, and such bearing-down
pains I could hardly walk across the floor, and was very nervous. A
friend advised me to try your medicine, which I did, and after using the
first bottle I began to improve. I took in all twelve bottles of
Vegetable Compound, one box of Liver Pills, also used the Sanative Wash
and was cured, and have no return of my troubles. I am as well now as I
ever was. I am more thankful every day for my cure. I know that your
medicine will do everything that it is recommended to do for suffering
women."--MRS. DORA ANDERSON, North Muskegon, Mich.
"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM--I want to tell you what your remedies have done for
me. Before taking them I used to have a continuous headache, would be
very dizzy, would have spells when everything seemed strange, and I
would not know where I was. I went to our local doctor. He gave me some
medicine, but it did not seem to do me any good, but after taking =Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound=, I began to improve at once. I can
honestly recommend your remedies to all suffering women and advise all
to give it a trial."--MRS. HENRY SELL, Van Wyck, Wash.

IN THE TREATMENT OF
FEMALE TROUBLES
Such as Leucorrhoea, and all Inflammation of the Vaginal Passage by
local application, experience has proven that nothing excels
LYDIA E. PINKHAM'S
SANATIVE WASH
FOR VAGINAL INJECTIONS.
Every woman will find this a most valuable assistant whenever a =Vaginal
Injection= is desirable. It is soothing, cleansing and healing. In
connection with the VEGETABLE COMPOUND it hastens the cure.
We are permitted to publish on this page several testimonials which
demonstrate the virtue of the SANATIVE WASH, and should convince every
woman that she should place complete reliance on any statement made by
Mrs. Pinkham in regard to the virtue and reliability of any of these
medicines.
DIRECTIONS FOR USING THE SANATIVE WASH.
Steep one-fourth of the package in sufficent water to make one pint
after it is strained. When the discharge is very profuse, use one-half
of this, adding to it one pint of warm water, daily, as a VAGINAL
INJECTION.

I feel that I neglect a duty in not writing you that others may know
what your Vegetable Compound has done for me.
Before taking it I was almost an invalid, could not walk any distance
and suffered pain all the time. After taking nine bottles I was very
much better, and can now do my house work and ride a wheel. It would
take too much space to tell you all of its merits but I must not forget
to speak of the Sanative Wash for it simply acts like magic.
Trusting that this may help some other sufferer, I remain.

It affords me great pleasure to tell you of the benefit I have derived
from taking your Vegetable Compound and Sanative Wash. I can hardly find
words to express my gratitude to you for the boon which you have offered
suffering women in your excellent remedies. Before taking your Compound
I was thin, sallow and nervous. I was troubled with leucorrhoea, and
my menstrual periods were very irregular. I tried three physicians and
gradually grew worse. About a year ago I was advised by a friend to try
your Sanative Wash and Vegetable Compound, which I did. After using your
Vegetable Compound and Sanative Wash I am now enjoying better health
than I ever did, and attribute the same to your wonderful remedies. I
cannot find words to express What a godsend your remedies have been to
me. Whenever I begin to feel nervous and ill, I know I have a never
failing physician at hand. It would afford me pleasure to know that my
words have directed my suffering sisters to the road to health and
strength through your most excellent remedies. I thank you again for
what your remedies have done for me.

I was troubled very much with leucorrhoea, bearingdown pains and
backache. It seemed that I had no strength at all. I was in pain all
over. I began to feel better after taking the first dose of Vegetable
Compound, and am now like a new woman. I know if other suffering women
would only try it, it would help them.

LYDIA E. PINKHAM'S
BLOOD PURIFIER
Is far superior to any other known Remedy for the Cure of all Diseases
arising from Impurities of the Blood, such as
Scrofula, Cancerous Humor, Erysipelas, Rheumatism, Canker, Salt Rheum
and Skin Diseases.
IMPURE BLOOD CAN BE MADE RICH AND PURE.
There is no condition of the human system so uncertain or so deceptive
as the condition of the blood. Other disease makes itself known by aches
or appearance, but the blood courses on with no sign of vitiation,
carrying its poison to every nerve and fibre of the body. Suddenly comes
the awakening; pains that were never thought of before, ulcers or
eruptions where never a pimple existed, make you ask in wonder, if not
in agony, the cause. This effect may come in various ways, but the cause
is always impure blood. This impurity or blood poisoning produces
_Rheumatism_, _Debility_, _Neuralgia_, _Scrofula_, _Mercurial or
Syphilitic Ulcers_, _Fistula_, _Eruptions_, _Consumption_, _Scurvy_,
_&c._
INDIGESTION AND BILIOUSNESS.
These two complaints are closely akin and generally exist together.
_Dyspepsia, or Chronic Indigestion_, is more prevalent in this country
than anywhere else on the face of the earth, the chief reason being that
we eat with intemperate haste, and consequently do not, as a rule,
properly masticate our food. The work that should be done by the dental
mill we remit to the stomach; and, as it cannot accomplish the task, the
_food-grist_ is not properly ground up and applied, and the whole
body--aye, every fibre and tissue of it--suffers. We need not here
describe the pains and penalties of _Dyspepsia_. They are within the
personal experience of two-thirds of the adult population of the United
States. _Biliousness_ is a somewhat indefinite term, but it means, in
its common acceptation, an _unnatural determination of bile to the
channels of circulation_. The yellow tinge of the skin and of the white
of the eyes in bilious cases is caused by the undue presence of bile in
the superficial blood-vessels.
A proper course of Lydia E. Pinkham's Blood Purifier, together with her
celebrated Liver Pills, will purify the blood and drive off the bile,
making you happy and pleasant, instead of grouty and disagreeable.
LYDIA E. PINKHAM'S BLOOD PURIFIER
Is as great a success as her celebrated Vegetable Compound, and may be
used with great benefit in all diseases caused by impurities of the
blood. Do not class it with bitters of any kind. It is not a drink or an
appetizer, but a _strictly medicinal preparation_. It is a powerful
alterative, but a purely vegetable preparation, and may be taken without
fear by any invalid. The dose is small and with good nutritious diet of
any kind, avoiding highly seasoned or greasy food, you will be free from
the tortures of rheumatism, clear of scrofulous sores or ulcers, and
eradicate every taint, whether inherited or contracted. You will have a
beautiful complexion and a soft, smooth skin, and rejoice in a healthy
body and pure blood.
=For Sale by your Druggist, $1.00 per bottle.=
Sept. 15, 1902.
I feel it my duty to send you a testimonial and tell you how much good
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Blood Purifier has done my
daughter. She feels like a different person. Her menstruation was
irregular; did not come around for two months. She took some medicine
from the doctor which did not help her, and he thought she would have to
take treatments. She took some of your Vegetable Compound and now her
menses are regular again and she rests well nights, which she had not
been able to do for about a year. Her friends all wonder at her improved
looks as well as health.
I never fail to recommend your medicine when I know of any woman who has
female troubles.
MRS. MAGDALENA SCHICK,
Washington, Ill.
Jan. 21, 1902.
I will tell you what your remedy has done for me. I was in a very bad
condition with scrofula swellings around my neck. It started with a
bunch on the side of my neck, and it kept growing until the whole side
of my face was swollen.
I had tried everything in the shape of patent medicines for five years.
I had gone under an operation in one of the hospitals in Boston and had
them cut out. I had thirty little tubular glands taken from back of my
ear down my shoulder. They looked like a bunch of grapes, and about the
same size. After the cuts healed over they started to come again worse
than before.
After suffering so much I thought I would try Lydia E. Pinkham's Blood
Purifier, and before I had taken two bottles there was a great change in
the swellings. I continued its use and to-day I am a well woman. Every
word of this is true.
I cannot speak too highly in praise of your Blood Purifier.
MRS. W. H. HAYNES,

Lydia E. Pinkham's Liver Pills
Are especially adapted to the needs of the stomach and liver, the
derangement of which they prevent and cure. They are purely vegetable
and perfectly harmless. They do not purge, gripe or weaken, but are a
gentle effective laxative which stimulates the natural action of the
bowels. They are excellent in conjunction with the Vegetable Compound;
especially in those cases when the complaints that are peculiar to women
are attended with constipation and sluggishness of the liver. In such
cases these Pills enable the Vegetable Compound to do its work more
speedily and effectively. The enormous sale of Lydia E. Pinkham's Liver
Pills has been attained purely on their merit. During the last 25 years,
we have found nothing to excel them. One box contains more than three
times the number of pills ordinarily sold for 25 cents and we therefor
justly claim superiority both in quantity and quality.
January 12, 1901.
I write you these few lines to see if you can suggest some means to cure
me. A little more than a year ago, I was sick with menstruation for the
first time and since then I am sick all the time in some way or other. I
have painful and irregular menstruation. I went to summer resorts for my
health and was doctored all summer, but to no effect. I have not flowed
for two months and thought I would see if you could do me any good.
MARION BARBER.
May 25, 1903.
About two years ago I wrote to you for advice, being troubled with
irregular menstruation and womb disease. I began taking Lydia E.

since.
I wish to thank you for your kind advice and shall recommend your

should have been insane if I had not taken them.

IMPORTANT
When writing to Mrs. Pinkham for advice and counsel, it is highly
important that you should answer the following questions:
=Is your menstruation regular?=
=Is your menstruation profuse?=
=Is your menstruation scanty?=
=Is your menstruation painful?=
=Are you married or single?=
=If married, have you borne children?=
=Have you any discharge from the vagina other than the courses?=
=Have you a free movement of the bowels daily?=
=Are you constipated?=
=Is your blood in good condition?=
Write out plainly all symptoms you do not understand.
Be sure of the strictest confidence. Mrs. Pinkham never betrays a trust.
You can rely on her help implicitly. Address your letters to "Mrs.
Pinkham, Lynn, Mass."
A Word of Warning.
No other medicine in the world has received such widespread and
unqualified endorsement as has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
No other medicine has such a record of cures of female troubles or such
hosts of grateful friends.
Do not be persuaded that any other medicine is just as good. Any dealer
who asks you to buy something else when you go into his store purposely
to buy Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, has no interest in your
case. He is merely trying to sell you something on which he can make a
larger profit. He does not care whether you get well or not, so long as
he can make a little more money out of your sickness. If he wished you
well he would, without hesitation, hand you the medicine you ask for,
and which he knows is the best woman's medicine in the world.
Follow the record of this medicine, and remember that these thousands of
cures of women whose letters are constantly printed in this paper were
not brought about by "something else," but by
=Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, The Great Woman's Remedy for
Woman's Ills=.
Those women who refuse to accept anything else are rewarded a hundred
thousand times, for they get what they want--a cure. Moral--Stick to the
medicine that you =know= is Best.
=When a medicine has been successful in restoring to health more than a
million women, you cannot well say without trying it, "I do not believe
it will help me." If you are ill, do not hesitate to get a bottle of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once, and write Mrs. Pinkham,
Lynn, Mass, U. S. A., for special advice. It is free and helpful, and
will cost you nothing.=
