Puyknaym : — When life looked brightest to me I sustained a hard fall and internal complications were the result. I was considerably inflamed, did not feel that I could waik, and lost my good spirits. I spent money doctoring without any help, when a relative visited our home. She was so enthusiastic over Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, having used it herself, that nothing would satisfy her until I sent for a bottle. I have thanked her a hundred times for it since, for it brought blessed health to me and cured me within seven weeks. I now wish to thank you, your medicine is a friend to suffering women.” —LILLIE DEGENKOLBE. * 85000 FORFEIT IF THE ABOVE LETTER IS NOT GENUINE.
