we too often cOnfne the air by the

in sleeping rooms. The following simple
method for ventilating ordinary sleeping

Hinton in his physiology for Practical
Use:" ga piece of wood three inches high

Anew WORDS TO FEEBLE AND DELICATE
WOMEN

BY r. V. PIERCE, NJ. d., OF THE WORLDS DIS
PENsARY, BUFFALO, n.
Knowing that you subject to a great
amount of suffering, that delicacy on your part
has a strong tendency to prolong, and the longer
it is neglected the more you have to endure and
the more difficult of cure your case becomes, 1,
as a physician, who is daily consulted by scores
of your sex, desire TO say to you that am con-
stantly meeting with those who have been
treated for their ailments for months without
being benefited in the least, until they have be-
come perfectly discouraged, and have almost
made up their minds never to take another
dose of medicine, nor be tortured by any
further treatment. They had rather die and
have their sufferings ended than TO live
and suffer they have. They say they are
worn out by suffering and are only made worse
by treatment. OF anything more discouraging
we certainly can not conceive, and were there
no more successful mode of treating such diff
ficulties than that, the principles ofwhich te9eh

the system, when the indications dictate treat

far more successful pan or treatment for you;
one more in ha1mony with the laws and re-
ouirements of your system. harsh, irritating,
eaustic treatment and strong medicines will
means, such as common sense should dictate to
every intelligent lady, take such medicines as
embody the very best invigorating tonics and
nervines compounded with special reference TO
Your delicate system. Such a happy combina-
ton you will find in my Favorite Prescription,
which has received the loudest pl aise from
thousands of your SEX. Those languid, tiresome
sensations, causing you 10 feel scarcely able to
be on your feet or ascend fight of stairs; that
continual drain that is sapping from your sys-
TENS all your former elasticity, and driving the
bloom from your cheeks; that contipual strain
upon your vital forces that renders you irrita-
BILE and fretful, may all be overcome and SUBJ
dued by persevering use of that marvellous
remedy. Irregularities and distractions TO the
proper workings Of you systems are relieved by
this mild ana safe means, while periodical
pains, the existence of which is sure indication
of serious disease that should not be neglected,
readily yield to it, and If its use is kept up for
reasonable length Of time the special cause of
these pains is permanently removed. Further
light on these subjects may be obtained from my
pamphlet on diseases peculiar to your sex, sent
on receipt of two stamps. My Favorite Pre-
s;ription is sold by druggists.
