symptoms of feminine diseases appear
in the patients judgment just as crit
1cal as the stopped watch. 1t is sim
ply run down" condition, and this
run down condition in woman means
that the vital forces are about ex-
hauSted The woman, unable to care
for the family or attend to her house
hold duties, is as incapable of play as
she is of work, is in constant pain,
and feels that life is about to end, and
that she is completely broken down.
Many thousands Of just such women
have come to DR.. r. V. Pierce, chief
consulting physician of the Invalids
Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo,
N. Y. DR.. Pierce is a specialist in the
diseases of women, and his more than
80 years experience has enabled him
to say to many a suffering woman:
You are not broken down. You are
just run down. Your whole life will
run on again in it's divinely appointed
way when the main spring which DOM
mates it is once more regulated and
enabled to exercise it's inherent and
proper function
The sufferings borne by women in
which men have no part or lot, and of
the pains and pangs of which they are
ignorant, are chiefly related to those
organs which are distinctively femi-
nine. Thus the run down" condition
Of woman can Outlines be traced to
the irregular periods which beginning
in maidenhood eliminate in the I'M
pleasant and facilitating drains of
wifehood. Then come the strain and
drain of frequently repeated mother
hood, and with it, alterations, lnf1am-
nations, displacements of internal or
gans and bearing down pains. The
nerve force has almost entirely depart
ed. There is no more cOnJugal happi-
ness and no more courage to face the
obligations of maternity. The despOnd-
ing mind of the prospective mother
keeps a fearful watch on the dial
which marks off 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 forebodings,
and surely handicapped in the race of
life. This condition has been met in a
wonderful way by DR.. Pierce's Favor
tie Prescription. It quickly allays in
Examinations, cures alterations and
builds up the nerve centers. The wife
instead of nervously pacing the house
wringing her hands in dread of the ap-
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 in1agines the tug Of the tiny
lips upon her bosom, swelling with
motherly pride and happiness.
Such a transformation seems wonder
full It is wonderful. Yet it is as true
as 1T 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

Miss Laura Brooks, of Clinch, Hancock
county, Tenn. Il am sure that could

dition 1 was in at the time I first
consulted you. I was only praying to
die and be free from pain. l was sim.

everything, when, through a friend,
was advised to write to you, which 1
did, thinking all the while that it was
only foolishness to think that such a
case as mine could be cured. But
do not think so today. After the first
weeks treatment, just as you prescrtb-
ed, l felt like another woman and l
hardly believed that such could be
when the first period was passed with

of the 'Favorite Prescription and some
