Mrs.Pmkham Saved me
from an Operation.
Operations Avoided.
When a physician tella a woman suffering with ova
rian or womb trouble that an oporation is necessary, it of
courso frightens her.
The very thought of the operating table and the knife
strikes terror to her heart.
And our hospitals are full of women who are there for
ovarian and womb operations !
It is quite true that these troubles may reach a stage
whoro an operation is the only resource, but such cases are
much rarer than is generally supposed, because a great
many women have itoen cured by Mrs. Pinkham’s med
icine after the doctors had said tho operation must be
performed.
Lydia E. Pinkham’n Vegetable Compound has
been very successful in curing ovarian troubles. Id fact,
up to the point where the knife must be used to secure
instant relief, this medicine is certain to help.
Ovarian troubles are easily developed from womb
troubles, and womb troubles are so very common that
ovaritis is 6teadily on the increase among women. It is,
nevertheless, a most serious trouble, and to recommend
wrong treatment for it is a crime for which thero cannot
be too deep a penalty.
It is, therefore, with full consciousness of the serious
ness of the disease and the steady failure of other medicin
to cure it. that we present for ovarian and womb troubl
Lydia E. Pinklmm’s Vegetable Compound as th
most certain to help of any medicine in the world to-day.
Any person who could read the letters in Mrs. Pinkham’B
files at her office in Lynn, Mass., would he convinced of
the efficiency of Mrs. Pinkham’s Compound.
The strongest and most grateful statements possibl t
to make come from women who have escaped the operat
ing table by tho use of this medicine. Let any woman
suffering from these troubles, or anything which may de
velop into them, write and get Mrs. Pinkham’s advice. I
you are beyond the reach of the medicine, you will b
frankly tol 1 ho, but, if not, you will be fully and carefully
and kindly advised.
The most serious of all the diseases of women, as wel
os the minor ills, are promptly overcome by
Lydia Em Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound.
