One of the most eminent of living spe-

Pierce, of Buffalo, N Y, chief consulting
physician of the famous Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical institute, of that city. He has
devoted life time to the study and cure of
feminine disorders. His "Favorite Pre-
scription +" IS the most perfect cure for such
complaints ever known. 1t is the only truly
scientific remedy which reaches the inner
source of trouble and completely heals,
strengthens and tones both the special or
gans and the entire nervous system. It is
the only medicine for women, invented by
a regularly graduated physician, skilled
and experienced practitioner.
Any woman may consult DR.. Pierce either
personally or by letter and will receive
sound professional advice free of charge
No woman who suffers from these delicate
troubles should trust to any preparation
compounded by mere nurse or any other
