''SS OF d'lcdt OF our arms. The enemy
can pour in deadly fire upon our men
aa they wade ashore. while they may be
in comparative safety behind breast
works, unless they arc within the accurate
range OF our war vessels In every on
gagemcnt our men have shown the most
heoric bravery and stca dy-strong nerves
coupled with determination. When Far
ragut and Gushing taught tho world, in
the naval engagements of our late war.
OF what material our navy was made. we
d'd not expect so soon to see their coun-
terparts in Dewey and iohsor.
FOR all the risks that are run by our
men ana the critical moments they OK
perience. and the times when they feel
their nerves stretched to the breaking
point. there is unfortunately another
tremendous nervous strain endured bv
the loved ones at home, the women. The
VIE, mother or sister at home sits wear
i'y waiting for news of those they love
the men who are taking desperate risks
at the battles front With fear and dread
they scan the paper to look over tho
names of those lost or wounded in the
last engagement The greatest calamity
the saddest picture OF all war experiences
is the disaster that falls upon the weak
ana helpless loved ones at home when
their hero IS killed in action.
VINO suffers most deeply and foarfu'lv
from the shock of battle? Who feels
most poignantly the stabs of poverty and
rrlvation and disease? Human life eyorv-
where gives the answer as in an open
book that all may read: Women are ever
the chief and sorriest victims; tho weight
or misfortune falls heaviest upon the
mother and her child.
Look whore you will in any corner Of
America to-day and you find women suf-
ferins such ago1ies from the weaknesses
and diseases peculiar to their sex as would
most hesitate to face them. Their nervous
systems arc rundown at n time when
they need the greatest fortitude, strong
will and nerves Of steel to bear their bur
ders of care.
II BELIEVE that the sick and suffering
women Of This country" says Doctor
Pierce, of Buffalo. y. Y, whether in
times Of war or peace are entitled TO lust
as much sympathy as we bostow
upon our military ana naval heores Just
as much care and attention and solicit
tude; just ne high an appreciation Of
their heroic fortitude and endurance"
From his earliest practice as a young
physician thirty years ago, pr Pierce has
always felt that the grandest ana worthi-
est work IL the world for a physician Is
to raise up the suffering women who
labor under a constant burden of sickness
and discoura cement and set them upon a
higher plane Of physical and mental capa-
city ana nealtnfVl NlEOr,
Among all the achievements of an OK
traordinary successful career In tho field
OF medical practice, that which yields him
the deepest qualification Is that he las
been able to cope successfully with those
delicate and complicated diseases which
render the lives Of so many women miser-
able.
OF all his remarkable contributions %
medical science his marvellous "Favor!te
Prescription" for womens complaints
stands easily foremost in the world among
remedies of its class. 1t has brought more
perfect relief to suffering women. ana
through them has conferred greater heno-
III upon their ofsprings than any other
medicine ever invented and probably
more than all other medicines combined.
The "Favoritc Prescription" contains
no alcohol, opium or other narcotics. no
false or uncertain stimulus; docs not
create craving for injurious stimu.auts,
the power IT gives is the power Of ma
ture; II imparts energy and nerNc-tonc
that is real, healthy ana permanent.
