TO PROVE OUR CLAIMS.
St. Anne, 111. "I was passing
through the change of life and 1
was a perfect wreck from female
troubles. I had a displacement,
and bearing down pains, weak
fainting spells, dizziness, then
numb and cold feelings. Some
times - my feet and limbs were
swollen. I was irregular and had
so much backache and headache,
was nervous, irritable and was
despondent. Sometimes my ap
petite was good but more often it
was not. My . kidneys troubled
me at times and I could walk
only a short distance.
" I sa w your advertisement in a
Eaper and took Lydia E. Pink

I was helped from -the first. At
the end of two months the swel
ling had gone down, I was re
lieved of pain, and could walk
with ease. I continued with the)
medicine and now I do almost aU
my housework. I know your
medicine has saved me from the)
grave and I am willing for you to
