Lady's recovery from ovarian trouble after herbal remedy
Dear Mrs. Prorewam Gradual loss of strength and nerve force told me something was radically wrong with me. I had severe shooting pains through the pelvic organs cramps and extreme irritation compelled me to seek medical advice. The doctor said that I had ovarian trouble and ulceration and advised an operation. I strongly objected to this and decided to try Lydia E Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I soon found that my judgment was correct and that all the good things said about this medicine were true and day by day I felt less pain and increased appetite. The ulceration soon healed and the other complications disappeared and in eleven weeks it was once more strong and vigorous and perfectly well. My heartiest thanks are sent to you for the great good you have done me. Sincerely yours Miss MARGARET MERELEY 275 Third St Milwaukee Wis g6000 forfeits original of above letter proving genuineness cannot be produced.
