But II usually takes the skill of the
specia!ist to determine the difference.
There are thousands of women just in
the condition of that watch. They are all
run down, but they make the mistake of
thinking that they are broken down, and
their condition is often aggravated by
their fears. It often happens however.
that the complex symptoms of feminine
diseases appear in the patients judgment
just as critical as the stopped watch. 1t
IS simply a 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 family
or attend TO her household duties is as in
capable 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 lnvalids
Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, n.
y DR.. Pierce is a specialist in the dis
eases of women, and his more than thirty
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 its
divinely appointed way when the main
spring which dominates ii is once more
regulated and enabled to exercise its in
herent and proper function"
The sufferings borne by women in
which men have part or lot, and of
the pains and pangs of which they are
ignorant, are chiefly related TO those
organs which are distinctively feminine.
Thus the run down condition of wo-
man can oft-times be traced to the ir-
regular periods which beginning in maid
enhood culminate in the unpleasant and
debilitating drains of wifehood. Then
come the strain and drain of frequently
repeated motherhood, and with it, ulcera-
tons inflammations, displacements OF
internal organs and bearing down pains
The nerve force has almost entirely de-
parted There is no more conjugal hap
piness and no more courage to face the
obligations of maternity. The desponding
mind of the prospective mother Keeps d
fearful watch on the dial which marks
off the months and the days She shrlnks
from her coming anguish. The little NE
knit up with hers is already being pneht-
ed by her nervousness and gloomy fote-
bodinGs. and surely handicapped in the
race of life. This condition has been met
i'm a wonderful way by DIR. Pierce's Fa-
yorite Prescription. 1t quickly allays III

up the nerve centers. The wife instead
of nervously pacing the house wrlhghg
her hands in dread of the approaching
day of pain. now sits and sews in happy
IL,
;dly 10 her lap. as she drifts into smiling
reyerie. and already imagines the tug OF
the tinv fingers and the pressure OF the
tender lips upon her bosom, swelling Win
motherly pride and happiness.
Such a transformation seems wonderful
II is wonderful. Yet it is as true as IL Is

testified to these facts; women VINO nave
