headaches, could not sleep, was weak
and life was a burden to me. I doctored
for several years, but it did no good.
My husband wanted me to try your
medicine, and I am so thankful that I
did. I have taken four bottles of the
Compound and a box of Liver Pills, and
can state that if more ladies would only give your medicine a
fair trial they would bless the day they saw your advertise
ment. My heart is full of gratitude to Mrs. Pinkham for what
her medicine has done for me. It is worth its weight in gold."
