Yoar letter will be openesd, read aad
answered by a wcxaaa and held in strict
confidence. A woman can freeiy taJc of
ber private illness to a woman; thai has
been established a confidential corre-
spondence which has extended over
many years and which has never been
broken. Never have they pobiishad a
testimonial or used a letter withoat tie
written consent of the writer, and never
has the Company allowed these confiden-
tial letters to get out of their possession,
as the hundreds cf thousands of them in
their files will attesL
Oat of the vast volume of experience
which they have to draw from, it is more
than possible that they possess the very
knowledge needed in yocr case. Noth-
ing is asked in return except yotzr gocd
will, and their advice Lis helped thou-

should be glad to
