/Followed Mrs.Pinkhdm s
Advice and Now I am Well."
X ' . - - - - . • .
A woman is sick—some tlisoaso peculiar to horsex is fast
dcvoloping in her system Who goes to her family physician
tin<i tells him u story, hut not the whole story.
Slie holds back something, loses her head, become* agi
tated. forgets what she wants to say. und finally conceal*
what she ought to have told, aud this completely mystifies
the doctor. V
Is it a wonder, therefore, that the doctor tails to euro the
disease ? Still we cannot blame the woman, for it is very em
barrassing to detail some of the symptoms of her suffering,
even to her family physician. This I* the reason why
hundreds of thousands of women are now in corre
spondence with ,N1 rs. rinkliaui, at Lynn, Maas. To
her they can give every symptom, so that when she is ready
to ndvi’se them slie is in possession of more facts from her
correspondence with the patient than the physician can
possibly oil tain through a personal interview.
Following we publish a letter from a woman showing the
result of a correspondence with Mrs. Pinkham. All such
letters are considered absolutely confidential by
Nlrs. Pink hum, and are never published in any way or
manner without the consent in writing of the patient; but
hundreds of women are so grateful for tin* health which Mrs.
Pinkham and her medicine have been able to restore to them
that they not only consent to publishing their letters, but
write asking that'this he done in order that other women
who suffer may be benefited by their experience.
Mrs. Ella Rice. Chelsea, Wis., writes:
