suits In the few special diseases incident TO the
separate organism OF woman, singled 1t ont as
the climax or browning gem of my
medical career. On its merits, as q posi-
tive. safe, and effectual remedy for this class
OF diseases, and one that will, at all times and
under all circumstances, act kindly and in har-
mony with the laws which govern the female
system, am willing to stake my reputation rs

that II will not disappolnt the most sanguine
expectations Of q single invalid lady who uses 1t

GUARANTEE. II a beneficial effect is not
experienced by the time two-thirds of the con.
tents OF the bottle are used, will, on return Of
the bottle, two-thirds of the medicine having
been taken according to directions, and the case
being one for which recommend it. promptly
refund the money paid for it. Had I not the
most perfect confidence in its virtues, could not
