A Few Words to Feeble and Delicate
Women,

BY II. V. PIERCE, NJ. D., of the Worlds Dispen-
| sary, Buffalo, n. Y, Author of "The Peoples
Common Sense Medical Adviser" ETC., etc.
Knowing that you are subject to great amount
Of suffering, that delicacy your part has strong
tendency to prolong it, and the longer it is neg
| lected the more you have to endure and the more
difficult of cure your case becomes, |, As physi
clan, who am daily consulted by scores of your
sex, desire to say to you that am constantly meet
ing with those who have been treated for their
ailments for months without being benefited in
the least, until they have become perfectly dis
couraged and have almost made up their minds
never to take another dose of medicine or be tor
tured by any further treatment. They had rather
die and have their suterlngs ended than to live
and suffer as they have. They say they worn
out by suffering, and are only made worse by
treatment. Of anything more discouraging, we
certainly cannot conceive, and were there no more
successful mode of treating such difficulties than
that, the principles OF which teach the reducing
and depicting of the vital forces of the system,
when the indications dictate treatment directly
the reverse of the one adopted for them, their
would be deporabe indeed. But, lady sufferers,
there is better and far more successful plan of
treatment for you; one more IN harmony with the
laws and requirements of your system harsh,
irritating caustlc treatment and strong medicines
will never you. If you would use rational
MEANS such as common-sense should dictate to
every intelligent lady, take such medicines en-
body the very best nvigoraing toncs and ner-
vines, compounded with special reference to your
delicate system. Such happy combination you
will find in my Favorite Prescription, which has
received the highest praise from thousands of your
sex. Those languid, tiresome sensations, causing
you to feel scarcely able to be your feet, or
ascend flight of stairs, that continual drain that
is sapping from your system all your former elias
ITCHY and driving the bloom from your checks,
that continual strain upon your vital forces that
renders you irritable and fretfu may all be
come and subdued by a persevering use of that
marvellous remedy. Irregularities and obstruc-
tons to the proper working OF your system are
lieved by this mild and safe means while periodi-
cal pains, the existence Of which is indca-
ton of serious disease that should not be neglect

reasonable length Of time, the special cause of
these pains is permanently removed; Further

A Suggestion to the Nervous.

Robust people who have, all their lives. eaten, di.
gested and slept well, can scarcely be expected to
appreciate the blessing of strong nerves well
those who, having undergone all the misery en-
tailed by weak ones have eventually regained their
nerve power. In order to experience the unspeak-
restful to a vigorous and tranquil condition OF the
nervous system the nervous invalid should try Il
course of Hostetter's stomach Btters. Under the
bracng and soothing influence ofthat benign tonic
and nervine, appetite returns, digestion becomes
complete and painless, and sleep reyisits weary
eyes. The causes OF nervous weakness are to be
found in imperfect digestion and assimilation, and
the fec bic performance OF other vital functions
sulting thereirom. The Btters remove these caus
es, as well as the nervous symptoms which they
produce. teb23teod&wlw
