Figure I. You may be able to make one such
circle by accident, but il you think you can
make 90 in day, in a week. or even in q
month, just try it and get your friends to try
it. The circles must not be like Figure 9, but
like Figure L. You will soon find that this is
not merely a case of know how" for every
body knows how. It is q case of know how 3"
combined with "never fail" Not one Of 500
young men and women college graduates can
do it, Not even the one who carried off the
highest honors. The one who can do it is
ONE AMONG MILLIONS.
He began just the same as everybody else
did, by learning how to draw. But that's not
the secret of his success; he made speciality
of drawing circles he has been drawing them
all his life, aud practice makes perfect. Give
any woman a bow and arrow, give a man q
loaded revolver and she or he may sometimes
hit the target and possibly the center. but how
many hundred times will they miss the mark
This frequent failure, not only in ta-get prac-
tice, but in everything else, is due to the fact
that not one person in a thousand makes a life
speciality of one thing-the one thing he can
do best-snd keeps right on making speciality
of it until he becomes perfect.
PARIS DREssMAKER.
There is a woman dressmaker in Paris who
for 80 years has been noted the world over.
Not once in hundred times does she fail TO
give perfect fit; yet this same woman made
silk night-shirt for her husband, snd-mado
failure 1t wasn't of not knowing
how, for she had learned how to make clothes
just as she had learned how to draw; yet, try
as she would, she couldn't even make night
shirt for her husband that would cit, any more
than she could draw circle that was perfect.
GREAT LAWYER
Daniel Webster, who was probably the great
est constitutional lawyer that ever lived, was
once completely foored in patent case by a
lawyer who made . speciality of such cases.
The know how" is the proper point to start
from, but it is the practice-the daily, hourly,
constant practice-that makes perfect. The
woman who has one night-shirt to make in 30
years cannot be an expert in nightshirts, any
more than the lawyer who has one patent case
in six months can be an expert in patent cases.
The doctor who is called upon once a week,
once a month, or perhaps once in six months,
to treat this that, the other complicated
disorder, may succeed once in a great while. if
Nature comes to the rescue; but he will usual
ly fail. notwithstanding the fact that he has
studied medicine, just as the lawyer has studied
law and the woman had studied dressmaking.
The sum and substance of it all is, that prac-
tiee makes perfect.
EXPERIENCE NEEDED.
It is upon this theory, this principle. this
practice that the greatest and most successful
health institution in America is founded. For
nearly 80 years experienced and skilled ply
sicians connected with this institution have
made a speciality of curing the ailments and
diseases peculiar to women. Where the ordi-
Diary practitioner treats one such case the
skilled specialists Of this institution treat tens
of thousands; and what is regarded by tho
focal doctor as q complicated case-one that
puzzles his brain and battles his skill-is as
simple of treatment and sure Of being cured in
this institution as is the drawing OF the perfect
circle to that one man in a million. This is
another instance where practice makes perfect.
1t is a case where one man can do what mil
lions of others cannot do, although they have
learned how.
One reason why woman suffers in silence
agonies which would make coward of the
strongest man is because her Unborn modesty
causes her to shrink from the ordeal of sub
hitting to medical examination and the stereO-
typed alscal treatment" When, finally, torture
drives her to seek advice she. unfortunately,
only too often falls into hands that lack the
rare ability of drawing that perfect circle"
upon which her peace of mind, her happiness,
and her life depend. Instead of the treatment
that makes thousands of cures certainty and
failure almost an unhsard-of accident, she re-
ceives that which makes failure certainty and
the cure mere accident.
VAST EXPERIENCE.
AIter having LIealeQ, year hIbcT year, many
thousands of cases of woman's ailments, DIR. K.
V. Pierce, chief consulting physician to the
Inyalid's Hotel and Surgical Institute of
Buffalo, N. Y, learned not only the perfect
methods, but also the perfect medicines with
which to cure such cases. So absolutely re-
liable are DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
flor woman's peculiar physical weakness J
and Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery (the
great liver, blood and kidney remedy that on
first introducing these now world-famed medi-
cines to the afflicted and for many years there
after, they were sold under positive guarantee
of giving entire satisfaction in every case for
which they are recommended. So uniformly
successful did they prove in curing the diseases,
arrangements and weaknesses for which they
are recommended, that claims for the return OF
money paid for them were exceedingly rare.
But since their manufacturers can now refer
to thousands of noted cures effected by them
i'm every part of the land, and in many foreign
countries, they believe their past record q
sufficient guarantee Of their great value as
curative agents; therefore, they R0w rest the
claims of these remedies to the confidence of
the afflicted solely upon that record. If il hap
pens that an exceedingly obstinate or cOmpli-
Gated case is not promptly conquered by these
standard remedies, DR.. Pierce himself, and his
trained staff of professional assistants, can al
ways be reached by letter. and he and his staif
know from their extensive practice which has
made them experts, just what missing lux TO

THE HIGHEST HoNORs
Such is the confidence of his fellow-citizens
in his ability. integrity, and worth, that Dr.
Pierce has been honored by election TO the
highest office in the gift of the people Of Buffalo:
first, to the State Senate, and later to Congress.
Such. however, is the doctors pride in and love
for his profession that he has since repeatedly
declined high office in order that he may best
serve the public by serving his patients who
ara scattered over every State and Territory in
the land, as is shown by the fact that he has
