Household Cares
A Sick Woman's Devotion to Duty is a Heroism which a Well Person Cannot Understand.
How distressing to see a woman struggling with her daily round of household duties, when her back and head are aching, and every movement brings out a new pain.
One day the poor woman is wretched and utterly miserable; in a day or two she is better, and laughs at her fears, thinking there is nothing much the matter after all; but before night the deadly backache reappears, the limbs tremble, the lips twitch—it seems as though all the imps of Satan were clutching her vitals; she "goes to pieces" and is flat on her back.
No woman ought to arrive at this terrible state of misery, because these symptoms are a sure forerunner of womb troubles. She must remember that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is almost an infallible cure for all female ills, such as irregularity of periods, which cause weak stomach, sick headache, etc., displacements and inflammation of the womb, or any of the multitude of illnesses which beset the female organism. Read how Mrs. Frake wrote to Mrs. Pinkham when she was in great trouble. Her letter tells the result, and how a cure was effected by the use of

Pinkham's
Vegetable
Compound.
READ THESE LETTERS FROM MRS. FRAKE.
"Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—I have read of your medicine making so many cures, and have been advised to write to you, but I feel that it is of no use. The doctor says that I have womb trouble, but he does not seem to help me a great deal. I have such a weakness across me most of the time—have backache, am very nervous, and am troubled with leucorrhœa. I am very weak, cannot walk any distance or stand long unless I ache all over. I would like to know it you think your medicine would do me any good."—Mrs. Samuel Frake, Prospect Plains, N.J.
"Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—I cannot thank you enough for what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me. When I first wrote to you I had suffered for years. The doctor said I had congestion of the womb, was troubled with my kidneys and bladder, my back ached dreadfully all the time, and I suffered with bearing-down feeling, could scarcely walk about to do my own housework. I stopped doctoring with the physician and took your medicine, and am now able to do my own work, have no more backache or weakness across me, and can do all my own work. I cannot praise your medicine enough, and would advise all suffering women to try it."—Mrs. Samuel Frake, Prospect Plains, N.J.
