“FREE MEDICAL ADVICE TO WOMEN.”
Women would save time and much sickness if they would
write to Mrs, Pinkham for advice as soon as any distrassing symp-
toms appear. It is free, and has put thousands of women on the
right road to recovery.
Mrs. Pinkham never violates the confidence thus entrusted to
her, and although she publishes thousands of testimonials from
women who have been benefited by her advice and medicine,
never in all her experience has she published such a letter without
the full consent, and often by special request of the writer.
