t impossible to relieve, and although they
recommend the application of severe caustics, yet I have never found any
difficulty in promptly controlling and curing this affection by the
faithful and persistent use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Sanative Wash as a
local application and the Vegetable Compound for its constitutional
effects.

=Constitutional Treatment Necessary.=--Although this disease shows itself
in only one place, yet the difficulty is in the whole system, and can
only be thoroughly removed by the internal use of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. Thousands of letters from women tell that their life
of agony, distress, and sleeplessness was changed to one of perfect

and thus an immense amount of suffering avoided.

=Treatment.=--If possible, the person should remain in bed or recline on a
couch. The diet should consist largely of liquids, nothing being better
than good milk. Meats, rich soups, and all pastries should be avoided.

Mrs. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound should be taken at once, because of
its most happy effect in relieving congestion and inflammation of all
the pelvic organs. Indeed, here is one instance where the Vegetable
Compound is alike useful to both sexes. The most flattering testimonials
have come from men who have tried this remedy "because it was in the
house," and who were most happily surprised to find that the relief was
prompt and the cure speedy. For all irritable conditions of the bladder,
whether of recent or old standing, I do not believe there is a remedy in
the world that holds out su
