oulders; my
bowels costive; my nervous system prostrated; my digestion impaired; I
had a desire to urinate all the time, could not pass only a few drops at
a time; on standing a few hours, it would form a crust on the
chamber--red, grainy substance; I was bloated all over my body. My feet
and legs were swelled tight, and I was in so much pain day and night I
could not sleep; I could not eat any food only a little sweet milk and a
little corn-bread; I lived in this way for four years; I could not walk
across the room. I was treated by four of the best doctors in the land;
the first three gave me no relief--the fourth built up my health to some
extent; none of them could cure me--none of the four could regulate the
menstrual flow, they could not cure those offensive discharges. I was
given up to die by all four of them; my family and friends expected
every day I would die.

I got one of your Memorandum Books; I read it carefully, and I was
hoping all this time for some relief--I hoped all the time for relief.
My husband decided to write to you--ask your advice, believing you could
give me relief; though I felt ashamed to tell a gentleman, a doctor I
never saw, those things concerning my afflictions; but I was suffering
terribly. I hoped for relief and I found it. I am happy to tell you I am
well. I was spared to be cured by your good advice and good medicine and
to spread your fame.

When I received the book you sent me and a letter telling me what to

from one of those bad spells--so weak that I could not sit up for more
than an hour at a time. My husband went and got the medicine and a
syringe. I began its use, as you advised, and took the medicine as you
directed; I have taken your medicine seven months; the first month my
improvement was slow; I began to have strength; my pain began to banish;
my appetite began to come; I commenced to sleep sound and the bloating
began to go down; the pain in my head was gone; palpitation of the
heart, also the misery in my back disappeared; the pain in my womb began
to banish; the first time the monthly flow appeared, it was
controlled--it was regulated--it went so light with me that I could go
all the time without a cane. I have not had one spell to confine me to
bed in seven months; I have done all the cooking for my family all the
year; the pain in my stomach disappeared; the yellow discharge also--the
