skill of the specialist to determine the
difference.
There are thousands of women, just
in the condition of that watch Iney
are all run down. but they make the
mistake of thinking that they are bro
ken down, and their conoltloh - ot.e l
aggravated by their fears. 1t OFTEN
happens. however, that the complex
symptoms of feminine diseases appear
in the patients judgment just as crltl-
cal as the stopped watch. 1t IS SIMPLY
run down condition and THIS run
down condition in woman means that
the vital forces are about exhausted.
The woman unable to care for the lam
ily or attend to her household duties, is
as incapable of play as she is OF work,
is in constant pain, and feels that NE is
about to end, and that she IS completely
broken down. Many thousands OF just
such women have come to Dr. II. v.
Pierce. chief consulting physician or the
Inyalids' Hotel and Surgical institute,
Buffalo. N. Y DR.. Pierce is a specialist
in the diseases of women, and his more
than thirty years experience mas en-
abled him to say to many sunerlns
woman: You are not broken down.
You are just run down. Your Whoie
life will run on again in its divlnely
appointed way, when the main spring
which dominates it is once more regu-
lated and enabled to exercise It's IN
herent and proper function.
The sufferingS borne by women IN
which men have no part or lot, ana OF
the pains and pangs of which they are
ignorant, are chiefly related to those
organs which are distinctively feminine.
Thus the rundown" condition Of
woman can oft-times be traced to the
Irregular periods which beginning IN
maidenhood eliminate in the unpleas-
ant and facilitating drains OF Wl1ehood.
Then come the strain and drain OF ire
uuently repeated motherhood, and with
it alterations, infiammations, d1splace-
ments of internal organs and bearing
down pains The nerve force has al
most entirely departed. There is no
more conjugal happiness and no more
courage to face the obligations of ma
ternity The Responding mind of the
prospective mother keeps fearful
watch on the dial which marks on the
months and the days. She shrinks from
her coming anguish. The little life knit
up with hers is already being blighted
by her nervousness and gloomy fore
bodings and surely handicapped In the
race of life. This condition has been
met in wonderful way by DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. 1t quickly allayS
infiammations, cures alterations, and
builds up the nerve centers. The wife
instead of nervouSly pacing the house
wringing her hands in dread of the APP
preaching day of pain, now sits and
SeWS in happy preparation, her fingers
sometimes falling idly to her lap, as
she drifts into smiling reverie, and al
ready imagines the tug of the tiny
fingers and the pressure of the tender
lips upon her bosom, swelling with
motherly pride and happiness.
Such q transformation seems wonder
full. 1t is wonderful. Yet it is as true
as it is wonderful. A half million of
women have testified to these facts;
women who have been freed from pain
and suffering and been restored to the
full measure OF enjoyment which be-
longs to the happy duties of wife and
mother. Some few of these women tell
their story in the following testimo-
malls:
