The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-05-08

Her rare appearance on the battlefield
or in Notwithstanding cheering and com
forting the wounded or dying-fs a very
small part of what woman does to pro
mote this country's fighting capacity She
does more than roll bandages, scrape lint
and send out dainty boxes of provisions
for husbands, brothers and sweethearts in
the field.
The wives and mothers, and the sisters
and sweethearts that win become wives
and mothers-contribute something more
in addition to this cheering comfort and
inspiration
Every male fighter, however brawny and
heroic, was born of woman; was once a
feeble infant, drawing-along with his
very breath of life from his mother
own physical resources-the hardihood,
mental stamina and high courage that be-
comes a nations final and impregnaDle
defense in the last dread arbltrament of
war
Shall we say that women contribute the
bandages and provisions? No they con-
tribute the fighters
What sort of men will the women of
the present day contribute to the nation
and the world. What sort of help and
encouragement and inspiration can wo-
man be who is enfeebled and broken down
by the diseases and weaknesses peculiar
to her sex? Can such woman main
tain the position that belongs to her
on the battlefield Of everyday eXertion
and struggle? Can she hope to be a
capable mother or efficient wife?
The dreadful sufferings which women
endure solely because of the delicate,
special organization which makes them
wives and mothers, leads a thoughtful
person to consider whether it is most
woefully deplorable on their own sad ac-
count or for the sake of the other lives
that are sooner or later dependent on
their own.
1t is certain that the great work which
has been done toward restoring the ply
steal capacity of women in the last twenty
years, by DR.. R. V. Pierce of Buffalo
". Y, has had a phenomenal share in
building up the courage and power OF
the present generation. But there are
$4,000 more women who ought to know
what DIR. Plerce's extraordinary medical
insight and experience and his marvellous
"Favorite Prescription" have done for
their hopeless discouraged sisters through
out the world.
Every woman knows that the average
doctor cannot understand her case. He
of an entirely different nature; he lacks
the special experience and thorough I'M
Outstanding which are necessary to a
complete appreciation of her troubles
A lifetime of experience and constant
study has made DIR. Pierce the acknowl-
edged expert authority in this particular
field of practice.
SO many women are in almost the same
state of mind as Mrs Elizabeth j. Bull
10
Carolina. q was afflicted for seventeen
months, she writes: Il was confined to
the house and yard all the time. 1 could
not be on my feet but a very little; could
not lift the weight of a cup of coffee, and
did not have strength to speak more than
a few words at a time. We tried three doc
tors and a lot of patent medicine, which
cost over one hundred and twenty-five dol
lars, and found no relief / had lost all
hopes of ever getting any better when my
friends advised me to take DR.. Pierce's
medicines. My husband said he would try
them next. He got me five bottles of Fla.
vorite Prescription and three of Golden
Medical Discovery l commenced taking
these medicines and soon found relief.
When I had taken one bottle of each
walked half-a-mile TO church. 1 commence
ed taking them the first of January. 1897:
the first of the following June l took NV
cooking in hand and have cooked for elev
en- in family all through the summer. Ii
was DIR. Pierce's medicines that gave mo
all the relief have received. L recommend
them to all suffering females, for il Is his
medicines and the help of God that has re-
stored me. May the Lord bless him and his
medicines for the good they have done me "
Another lady, Mrs. W. G. Day. of Truss
vile, Jefferson county. Alabama, writes.
II cannot find words sufficient to express
my praise for Dr. Pierces medicine. For
two years l had suffered with weakness
headache, pain in my back and side which
would become so sore that could hardly
bear the weight of my hand on it: had cold
hands and feet and many other bad feel
ings, too numerous to mention. Home pbv-
sicians' treatment did me no good. I had
become very respondent and thought
would never be well again, but with a.
