IN private. answered in private, and
the answer mailed in a perfectly plain
envelope without any advertising

Many women let these diseases

entirely done away with in DR.
Picrce's method OF treatment. Write
a PLAIN letter. You are not writing
TO a woman for sympathy, but to
man for help. And it's in the very
law OF our beings that man should

A HELPFTI. SYMPATHY
Tor woman, such as is rarely extend
ed by one woman TO another. It's
singular, but it is true, that women in
general make light of the sufferings
OF other members of their own sex

that reason women prefer to confidc

Years as chief consulting physician

inside the law, vet the wording is
designed to create the impression
that II YOU write vOu will receive the
advice of a physician. The most

artiully framed to appeal to woman's
sympathy. Some man PLAYS the part

this who is not trained physician
and so far as known there is no
qualified woman physician associated
