OF all the specialists in the world, there
probably are not two that have as wide an
experience in the treatment of womens
diseases as DIR. r. " Pierce, chief consult
ing physician TO the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y. With
the assistance of his staff of able physi-
clans. he has prescribed, in the past thirty
wears. for many thousands of women. DR.
Pierce is pre- eninently a sympathetic ply
stefan. Perhaps more than any other man
in the profession he realizes the hardships
of wonan's work, and the disadvantages
under which she labors because of the
weak, delicate and susceptible structure OF
the feminine organism. His immense prac-
tice in diseases peculiar to women forced
upon his recognition the fact that women
would never take the proper care Of their
health, so long as that care required the
repugnant examinations and local
treatment" " insisted upon by nearly all
physicians. After years of studyhe invent
ed a remedy now known as DR.. Pierce

and unfailing cure for the most complicated
and obstinate cases of diseases peculiar 10

There are more than twice as many
blind persons In Russia as In the whole
OF the rest Of Europe. They number
1900, which Is equivalent to two in
every 1000 Of the population. It is
believed that blindness In Russia is so
prevalent because OF the length Of time
which snow lies on the ground. and
also owing to the uneleanly habits OF
the people. Among all this number
only 200 or 300 are able to read. and
only about $500 are cared for in in.
