THE PEOPLE. BARNWELL. S. C. UN OPEN LETTER TO WOMEN /eflt of Mrs. Vogel's Terrible Suf- A^fering and How She Was Restored to Health^by Lydia L Pinkham's Vegetable Compound - Detroit, Michigan. **My troubles were severe pains in my back and ter rible bearing-down patina in my right side, also headaches and sleepless nights. I first began- having troubles when I was 16, and thevhavein creased as I grew older. A little book let was left at my door, and Iread what Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound has done or women and decided to try it. After ;he first week I could go to sleep every night apd I stopped having that nervous feeling' and got a better appetite. The doctor had always said that an operation was the only thing that would help me, but I never had any faith in an opera tion. Since the Vegetable Compound has started helping me I do n6t suffer the severe pains, feel stronger, and am able to do my own work. I am more than glad to tell my friends that it helps where other medicines have failed.”— Mrs. Gus Vogel. 6606 Pelouze Street, Detroit, Michigan.
