"What Everybody Says Must Be True.v

The incontrovertible testimony offered
by those who have used DIR. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription induced the doctor to
sell 1t under positive guarantee. Many
ladies have RETAINED from using it on ac-
count of Il general feeling of prejudice
against advertised medicines. Let me ask
question. Are you preudiced against
sewing machines because you have seen
them advertised Or can you doubt the in
genuity and skill required in their inven-
toni Again, would you refuse 10 insure
your house because the company adver-
tised that it had paid millions in losses, and
yet had a capital of several millionsP Do
such advertisements shake your confidence
and create preiudices? Then why refuse
to credit the TESTIMONY of those who have
found the Favorite Prescription to be all
that is claimed for it in overcoming those
ailments peculiar to your sex? Why sub
nit to the use of harsh, and perhaps caus-
tic treatment, thus aggravating your NAL
ady when relief is guaranteed, and pos
tive, perfect, and permanent cure has been
effected in thousands Of cases?
