The doctor may be good old man,
but even so, medical examinations and
the 'local-application" treatment are
abhOrrent to every modest woman.
They are embarrassing useless.
They should not be submitted to until
everything else has been tried. In
nine cases out OF ten, there is no reason
for them. In nine cases out of ten, the
doctor in general practice isn't COM
petent to treat female diseases. They
make branchiEof medicine by them
selves. They are distinct from other
ailments. They can be properly un-
derstood and treated only by one who
has had years of actual practice and
experience in this particular line.
This is true of Dr. II. V. Pierce, chief
consulting physician of the InvaIids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffa-
10, N. Y. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription, remedy for all derange-
ments of the reproductive organs of
woman, has been in actual use for more
than thirty years. 1t cures every form
of "female weakness"

the public are in possession of the latest in

have discarded the old cumbersome machin-
cry OF their ancestors The practice of medi-

medicine has ad vanced perhaps more rapidly
than any of the arts, and to-day it is possible
TO cure diseases which few years ago were
looked upon as incurable. Indeed scientific

July II, 1897.
Henry Butt went to Cresco on his

Chas. and Ed. Martin expect to start
on canvassing tour next week.
Mrs. Lowe came Sunday for visit
with her daughter, Mrs. j. G. Lewis.
P1of. J. L. Aaker and Mrs. Ole An

Messrs Tenus and Casper Larsen

Mr.. and Mrs. J. Wampler returned

Miss Lottie Larsen expects to go to
Clear Lake next Tuesday for visit
with friends.
Rollin Baker returned to his studies
at Ames last Tuesday after spending a
month at home.
DR.. Nesmith and Mrs. Gilchrist, of
Waukon, passed through Ridgeway on
their way to Usage Thursday.
Mr.. MaHaffy, who lives in southern
Iowa, and Miss MaHaffy, of Mason
City, were in our city Friday.
News seems to be rather scarce this
week. We hope for livelier times sooD,
or livelier in different way than of
late.
Lars. Peterson, the painter, had quite
a serious fall Friday. How seriously
he was injured we do not know at this
writing.
We are glad to see that the next Dis
trict Lodge will be at DEBORAH, and
think Ridgeway will probably be well
represented.
Following are the names of the num-
erous doctors from away, who have
been III Ridgeway the past week: Drs.
Kessel, Buck and Barrett, of Cresco,
Daubney, of DEBORAH, Roome, of Cal
mar, Nesmith, of Waukon, and Jewell,
of Ossian.
Ridgeway has certainly had a great
sufficiency of doctors this last week,
and surely everybody ought to have
fully recovered from their illness.
What is troubling us is to know wheth
er we have diptheria or not. Two of
our families who have been ill and are
now able to be up, are quarantined. 1t
is rather late day for it and there is
quite diversity of opinion about the
necessity of the quarantine, but we
trust that by next week all will be well
and life will move on as serenely as
ever in our beautiful little village.

Drs. Downing & Co., are curing the sick.
There is no contradicting this fact In the
face of the evidence, there should be no dis
position TO contradict it. These physicians
have demonstrated that they have the skill
and experience necessary to cure certain dis
cases. Drs. Downing d Co. have long borne
the reputation of curing long standing and
delicate diseases after other physicians and
specialists fail. THE DOWNING TREAT
MENT is the result of years of successful
treatment of thousands of cases ofall forms
OF Chronic, Nervous and Special Diseases, Sur
gical Operations and Diseases of the Eyes
and Ears
In the treatment of diseased conditions of
any kind, Drs. Downing IL Co. employ the
latest and most approved scientific appli-
ances for diagnosing the diseased organs.
They know that many diseased persons have
suffered for years, because their real trouble
has not been correctly recognized, and there
fore not properly treated and cured. How
many people are treated for years for the
wrong disease? In acute diseases, the ten
dency of nature is TO restore the organs to
healthy conditions, therefore, if the patient is
well nursed he RECEIVERS without medicine. In
fact would often be better without medicine
In chronic diseases, the conditions are differ
ent. Nature has acquired the habit OF disease,
and the tendency is not to recover. 1t is then
that the physician should exercise his intelli-
gence. should discover the real cause of the
patients trouble, should not guess at the dis
ease and guess at the remedy, but carefully
examine the patient, find what organs are not
in a physiological condition, study the pecu-
liarities OF the individual, and when this is
done, apply the proper remedies TO restore
healthy, normal action of the organs, THEN
HEALTH IS RESTORED.
