DROPSY, SICK HEADACHE, DYSPEPSIA AND BLOODY PILES.
WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, Buffalo, N.Y.:
Gentlemen—In the winter of 1881, I became irregular in my monthly courses. Of course at first I paid but little attention to it, hoping it would amount to nothing and probably wear away. But I slowly but surely grew worse, and at last resolved to apply to the doctors for help. My water came often, and in small quantities, and with great pain, and with red brick-dust deposit. I was attacked with severe womb trouble, bloody piles and dropsy of the ovary. I was treated by five different doctors. I was compelled to wear an inside support for a year, but it still seemed impossible for me to get well and I began to feel exceedingly alarmed and very uneasy, not knowing what course to pursue, or what the consequences might be. I had heard of Dr. Pierce, and concluded to make one more trial, so I sat down and wrote a letter to him, stating matters as near as I could, and in due time I received a favorable reply; then I commenced with his medicine. I commenced somewhere in February 1891 with the "Golden Medical Discovery" and "Favorite Prescription," in alternate doses. A strange occurrence followed. My limbs felt like what we call "asleep," and I felt as if I were in a strange land and wondered what was going to take place. I kept on till I took nine bottles. The first relief I felt was from sick headache, which I had been troubled with for many years; I was also cured of a very bad cough which I had been troubled with for many years, and of dyspepsia of long standing. I was entirely cured of a very singular and severe itching on my back, between my shoulders, which our doctors called winter itch and which they pronounced incurable. I had suffered with this for twenty years; it would come in the winter and go away in the summer. I was also cured of the worst form of bloody piles and of womb disease. At present I feel like a new person.
When I first commenced with Dr. Pierce's medicines, I could not walk half a mile without a pain. The other day I walked to Mercersburgh post-office, a distance of twelve miles, and the next day walked back again, and felt no bad results from the journey. I am now 51 years old.
Mrs. Knavel further writes, that "To any person desiring to know more concerning my case and its wonderful cure, and who will enclose to me a return self-addressed and stamped envelope for reply, I will be pleased to write further information."
Yours respectfully,
