Miss Luella Adams, of Seattle, Wish,
writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham :—
“About two years ago I was a great suf
ferer from a severe female trouble, pains anc
headaches. The doctor prescribed for me anc
finally told me that 1 had a tumor and mus1
undergo an operation if I wanted to get well
I felt that this was my death warrant, but 1
spent hundreds of dollars for medical help
but the tumor kept growing. Fortunately 1
corresponded with an aunt in the New England
States, and she advised me to take Lvdia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, as it, was
said to cure tumors. I did so and immediately
began to improve in health,and I was entirely
cured, the tumor disappearing entirely, w ith
out an operation. I wish every suffering
woman would try this great preparation.”
