THE GREAT FEMALE REMEDY
FOR IRREGULARITIES.


I have tested these drops in my own practice
over ten years, and do not hesitate to say, that
nothing has yet been developed by medical re-
search, that acts powerfully, positively, and
harmlessly, in cases of female irregularity, as
fails while thousands who have been long suffer
ers are indebted to it for the boon of health to-
day.
Although so powerful and positive, they are
perfectly harmless, and may be used at all times,
except when specially forbidden in the directions.
They have been extensively employed by emil
nent physicians in France and England, as well
as in my own practice, over ten yeais, and / have
yet to hear of the first instance of failure.

ladies all over the northern and western states,

600 bottles have been sold the past year, and I
hope and trust as many sufferers have been bene-

to remove all obstructioEs. may be used for o bad
purpose, but trust that where one bottle is TINS
