suffering ladies will consult you, for
think they will be benefited by taking
your medicines"
In the treatment of Women's
diseases. there must be on the part Of
the physician Il realizing sense first of
all that the trouble is a specific one:
that it saps the very foundation of Il
womans Vitality. 1t is not to be
pooh poohed at. nor made light Of
nor "patched- with "a little some
thing for the Digestion or a little
| something else for the heart-action.
| The remedy must be radical and
| thorough: it must give specific tone,
health. purity and organic power di-
| rectly to the fundamental starting
point of the difficulty: it must entirely
| rejuvcnate the nervous system and re-
create the supply of complete, forceful,
! abundant Vitality
The wiseSt physician is none too wise
to deal With these troubles; scientific
| training, deep study and the widest
| practical experience are Indispensable;
no mere unskulcd nurse, however
capable in her own sphere. is at all
suitable or equipped with the requisite
understanding of physiology and medi-
cine to be safely trusted in difficulties
| so delicate and complicated.
| All cases are not precisely alike i'll
| every respect: and while as a matter
| of fact and record there has not been
! found one case out of hundred of
| female difficulties but what was
| promptly alleviated and eventually
cured by DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription, frequently it happens that
| in obstinate cases a course of simple
and inexpensive Self-treatment at
home will greatly aid recovery. In all
such cases DR.. Pierce gladly gives
careful. professional advice by mail
free of charge.
He has been for thirty years chief
consulting physician of the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute. at Buffa~
| To- n. Y. and has gathered about him
q staff of eminent associate specialists
in the different fields of medical prac-
tice. DR.. Pierce has originated some
of the most wonderfully effective re-
medal discoveries known in modern
medicine. The late President Garfield
once said of him: HE is one of the
best men in the world and is at the
head of one of hest medical institu-
tions in the world

letter will be considered sacredly pri-

the most capable and expert medical
service to be obtained anywhere in the

WOMAN ON THE battlefield.
What She Gives to a Nation.

| " neither war shall descend and con-
| tlhue upon us now with all it's indie
| scrlpaple horrors and frightful carnage
| OF the brooding angel of peace shall
spread her white wings to the sun
SHINE or iove'-whatever may be the
issue To-Day or any other day in our
american histcry-the tremendous fact
remains the same, that woman is for
ever chief and inseparable factor in
the warfare of nations.
fer rare appearance on the battle
helu or in ospitals-nursing, cheering
ana comforting the wounded or dying
is very small part of what woman
docs to promote this country's fighting
capacity. She does more than roll
pandages, scrape lint and send out
daih'y boxes of provisions for hus-
pahds, brothers and sweethearts in the
field
The wives and mothers, and the sis
ters and swecthearts that will become
wives and mothers-contribute some

Every male fighter. however brawny

courage that becomes nations final

the bandagcs and provisions? No;
they contribute the fighters.
What scrt of men will the women
of this present day contribute to the
nation and the world? What sort of
help and encouragement and mspira-
ton can woman be who is cnfcebled
and broken down by the diseases
and Weaknesses peculiar to her sex?
Can such woman maintain the posi-
ton that belongs to her on the battle
field of every day eXertion and struS-
gle? Can she hope to be a capable
mother or efficient wife?
The dreadful sufferings which women
endure solely because Of the delicate.
special orSanizatio which makes them
wives and mothers, leads a thoughtful
person to consider whether 1t IS most
wocfully deplorahle on their own sad
account or fer 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 physical capacity of women IN the
last twenty years, by DR.. X. V. PIERCE
of Buffalo n. Y. has had phenomenal
share in building UP the courage ana
mower of the present generation. But
there are fifty thousand more women

world.
Every woman knows that the aver
