S.--I have a lady friend who is taking Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription now, and last summer every one thought she was going with
consumption; four of her father's family had died with it in five years:
she has taken one bottle of "Favorite Prescription," and now she is
better in health than she has been in three years. Her address is Mrs.

MONTHS OF SUFFERING AND TORTURE.

"LEFT TO DIE A HOPELESS WRECK."

WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, Buffalo, N.Y.:

[Illustration: Mrs. Moody.]

_Gentlemen_--A grateful heart and an appreciation of your medical skill
prompts me to make a statement of my case.

At the birth of my last baby (a boy weighing 14 pounds at his birth), I
contracted womb disease. And for three years previous to treatment, I
had been a great sufferer from prolapsus. Owing to a more serious injury
than prolapsus, received at childbirth, my physicians told me that "I
could never hope for recovery."

After delivery, I kept my bed for seven weeks. At the expiration of that
time I tried to walk. I found that I could not even stand straight;
there seemed to be a "tight cord" or "drawing" from my left side
extending down into my groin, accompanied by great soreness.

After repeated attempts, with my body inclined to that side and yielding
to the drawing, I finally succeeded in walking--a violent trembling all
the while in the parts affected.

Three months after the birth of my baby, I tried to take hold of my
household duties--then my troubles increased, and with them came a
series of "Doctors' bills."

I consulted two of the best physicians, besides trying all the medicines
I heard tell of, that were recommended for such diseases; but failed in
obtaining a cure from any of them; my relief was only temporary. My
condition was growing worse each day; the womb was so low and the
"bearing down" weight so great that I could scarcely stand on my feet at
all. I was irritable and nervous with a dull headache and constipation;
hands and feet cold and clammy, except the palms and soles; a burning on
top of my head. At this stage of my disease my bladder was badly
affected--the "neck" becoming enlarged and the water collecting there
caused a protrusion to over half the size of a tea cup, leaving it so
dry and harsh, that it was with the greatest difficulty I could walk at
all; a sudden jar, sneeze, or even the slightest pressure, would force
the water out, le
