It surely has remedied many cases of female ills, such as inflamma- tion, ulceration, displacements, tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, and it may be exactly what you need. The Pinkham record Is a proud and peerless one. It is a record of constant victory over the- ob- stinateillsof women —ills that deal out despair. It is an es- tablished fact that Lydia E.
