Hu ghson, of + Chicago, a whose letter follows, 1s another woman | in high position who owes her health to the use of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. “Dear Mrs. Pingaam: —I suffered for several years with general weakness and bearing-down pains, caused by womb trouble. My appe- tite was fitful, and would lie awake for hours and could —ot sleep, until I seemed more weary in the morning than when I retire]. After reading one of your advertisements I decided to try the merits of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and I am se pa I did.

M. E. Huansox, 347 East Qhio St., Chicago, TIL Mrs. Pinkham Tells How Ordinary Tasks Produce Displacements. Apparently trifling incidents in woman’s dally life frequently produce displacements of the womb. A slip on the stairs, lifting during menstruation, standing at a counter, runing a sewing machine, or attending to the most ordinary tasks may result in displacement, and a train of serious evils is started. The firaf indication of such trouble should be the signal for quick action. Don’t let the condition become chronic through neglect or a mistaken idea that yo can overcome it by exercise or leaving it alone.

Mrs. Fred Weinberger, Westerlo, Albany t County, N. Y., writes: . ! “Several years ago I hadran attack of la grippe which left my rerves in a prostrated condition. Then I had another attack o la grippe which left me worse. [I had tried three good phyzicians, but all in vain. 2ave Peruna a trial.

Guill is one of the oldest and most esteemed men of Omaha, Neb. He has done much to make it what it is serving on public boards ‘a number of times.

Two years ago I had la grippe—my life was de- spaired of. = Peruna saved me.”—J. R. Guill. A Relative of Abraham Lincoln. Mr. Silas S. Lincoln, who resides at 913 I Street, N. W., Washington, D.

Four years ago 1 began the use of Peruna, since which time I have not been troubled with that disease. I can now do as much work at my desk as I ever could in my life. I have gained more than ten pounds in weight.”—S. S. Lincoln. Pe-ru-na Not Only Cured La Grippe But Benefited the Whole System. Miss Alice M. Dressler, 1313 N. Bryant Ave., Minneapolis, Minn., writes: “Last spring I suffered from la grippe and was partially cured, but the bad after effects remained through the summer, and somehow I did not get strong as 1 was be- fore, One of my college friends who was visiting me asked me to try Peruna and I did so, and. found it all and more than I had expected. It not only cured me of the = catarrh, but restored me to perfect health, built up the entire system and brought a happy oy of buoyancy which I had not known for years.”—Alice M. Dressler. An Actress’ Testimonial. Miss Jean Cowgill, Griswold Opera House, Troy, N. Y., 1s the leading lady with the Aubrey Stock Co. She writes the following: “During the past winter of 1901 I suf- fered for several weeks from a severe at~ tack of grippe, which left a serious ca- tarrhal condition of the throat and head. “Some one suggested Peruna. As a last resort, after wasting much time and money on physicians, I tried the remedy. faith- fully, and in a few weeks was as well as ever.”—Jean Cowgill. A Southern Judge Cured. Judge Horatio J. Goss, Hartwell, Ga. writes: “Some five or six years ago I had a ver severe spell of grippe, which left me wit systemic catarrh. A friend advised me to try your Peruna, which I did, and was im- mediately benefited and cured. The third bottle completed the cure.”—H. J. Goss.
