'sWHAT EVERYBODY SAYS MUST BE
TRUE"

The incontrovcrtiblc testimony offered
by those who have used DR.. Pierccs Favor
tic Prescription induced the doctor to sell
it under positive guarantee. Many Ia
dies have refraincd from using it on &C.
count of n general feeling of prejudice
against advertised medicines. Let me ask
a question Are you prejudiced against
sewing machines because you have seen
them advertised? or can you doubt the
ingenuity and skill required in their invcn.
ton ? again. would you refuse to insure
your house because the company adver-
tiscd that it had paid millions in losses,
and yet had n capital of several millions?
Do such advertisements shake your conf
dence, and create preiudiccs ? Then why
refuse to credit the testimony OF those who
have found the Favorte Prescription to be
all that is claimed for it in overcoming
those ailments peculiar to your Sex? Why
submit to the use Of harsh, and perhaps
ca,lstic treatment thus aggravatng your
maady. when relief is guaranteed, and a
positive, perfect. and permanent cure has
been effected in thousands Of cases?

Dear Sr-Alow me to extend my most
sincere thanks to ron for the great benefit
my wife has received from the use of your
Fnvoritc Prescription She suffered almost
intnlcrably before using your medicine,
and had tired the skill Of several phvs-
clans but t., no purpose Finally, thought

trial and she is now sound AMI well

were caused by this resurrection OF =

and it was examined oy =

His tsvoriie plan was to raise an endow-

be largely subscribed, and after waiting
wear for the whole amount TO be raised,
which WAS not accomplished. lie said he
WAS tired of waiting, and paid his sub
