Vegetable Compound shows its remarkable power to great advantage. By
establishing a better circulation through the uterus, and relieving the
congestion in the surrounding parts, and by giving strength and tone to
the smaller blood-vessels, the hemorrhage is controlled and the
inflammation is reduced. The tumors cease to grow, diminish in size, and
disappear altogether under its influence.

=Vagina, Inflammation of.=--Occasionally there is an acute and most
intense inflammation of the vagina caused by exposure to cold,
irritating discharges from the womb, the use of pessaries, supporters,
or some contagious disease.

Many women suffer from this complaint towards the close of menstruation,
when the discharges are acrid and most irritating.

=Promptly Cured.=--This inflammation can be promptly cured by the frequent
use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Sanative Wash. Prepare this strictly according
to the directions on each package, and use it as a vaginal injection two
or three times a day. The cure will be hastened by employing a sitz-bath
(sitting in a tub of hot water, or in a bath-tub).

=To Prevent Extension of Disease.=--In order to prevent the inflammation
from extending into the uterus, it is always wise to take Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for a few days after an attack of this
kind.

=Pruritus, Itching.=--Pruritus, or itching of the external parts, is a
most annoying affection, which often renders life itself almost
unendurable. Its most frequent cause is due to irritating discharges
from the uterus or vagina. Quite a large per cent of the women who are
passing through the "change of life" are troubled in this way.

It is also a marked symptom of diabetes, or "sugar in the urine;" and if
the itching is associated with an unusually large flow of urine,
together with dryness of the mouth and extreme thirst, there is a
probability that the person is suffering from diabetes. In such a case a
specimen of the urine should be taken to a competent physician, and he
should be asked to make a thorough examination of it in order to
definitely determine this point.

=Treatment.=--The treatment of pruritus consists in keeping the parts
thoroughly cleansed by frequent vaginal injections of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Sanative Wash, even three or four injections daily; and also bathing the
external parts with the same solution.

=Can Be Promptly Controlled.=--Although medical writers so generally claim
that this disease is almos
