VICTORY on SEA AND LAND.
Intense Moments in Warfare.
How Women Bear the Brunt Of War.

During the few months that we hava
peen at war with Spain there have
peen many critical moments in which
men felt that they were living whole
years! The landing of the Invading
army upon the shores of the enemy's
country is perhaps the most critical
time for the success or defeat IF onr
arms. The enemy can pour in a deadly
hre upon our men as they wade
ashore. while they may be in comnara-
i've SAFETY behind breastworks, unless
they are within the accurate range of
our war vessels. In every engagement
our men have shown the most heroic
bravery and steady-strong nerves
coupled with determination. When
Farragut and Gushing taught the
world, in the naval engagements of
our late war, of what material our
navy was made. we did not expect so
soon to see their counterparts in
Dewey and Hobson.
FOR all the risks that are run by our
men and the critical moments they ex-
pericncc. and the times when they
feel their nerves stretched to the
breaking point. there is unfortunately
another tremendous nervous strain
endured by the loved ones at home.
the women. The wife, mother or sis
ter at home sits wcarily waiting for
news or those they love-the men who
are taking desperate risks at the bat
ties front. With fear and dread they
sean the paper to look over the names
or those lost or wounded in the last
engagement. The greatest calamity
the saddest picture of ali war expert
ehccs IS the disaster that falls upon
the weak and helpless loved ones at
home when their hero is Killed in ac-
ton.

poverty and privation and disease?
Human life everywhere gives the an
sWcr as in an open book that all may
read: Women are ever the chief and
sorriest victims: the weight of mis-
fortune falls heaviest upon the mother
and her child.
Look where you will in any corner
of America today and you will find
women suffering such aSOnics from
the weaknesses and diseases peculiar
to their sex as would make the bray
est soldier finch and almost hesitate
To face them. Their nervous systems
are run down at time when they
need the greatest fortitudc, strong Will
and nerves of steel to bear their bur
denS of care.
Il believe that the sick and suffer
ing women of this country" says Doc
tor Pierce, of Buffalo, n. ", whether
in times of war or peace. are entitled
To Just as much sympathy as we be-
stow upon our military and naval
heroes; just as much care and atten-
ton and solicitude: just as high an APP
probation of their heroic fortitude and
endurance"
From his earliest practice as a
young physician thirty years ago, Ir
Pierce has always felt that the grand
est and worthiest work in the world
for a physician IS to raise up the sur
fsiin,r women Who labor under Il con-
slant burden of sickness and dlscour-
agcmcnt and set them upon higher
plane of physical capacity ana heaith-
ful Vi9or.
Among all the achievements of an
extraordinarily successful career In
the field of medical practice. that
which Yields him the deepest Eratlil-
cation is that be has been able to cope
successfully with those delicate and
complicated diseases which render the
lives of so many women miseraple.
OF all his remarkable contributions
to medical science his marvellous "a
yorit" Prescription for womens com
plants stands easily foremost IN the
world among remedies OF It's class. IL
has brought more perfect relief To SUI
farinc women. and through them mas
conferred greater benefit upon their
offspring than any other medicine ever
invented, and probably mere than al
other medicines combined.
The "Favorite Prescription con-
tains no alcohol, opium or other mar
c3tics: no false or uncertain stimulus
does not create a craving for Injurious
stimulants; the power it gives is the
mower of nature: it imparts energy
and nerye-tone that is real, healthy
and permanent.
