Walk ashore!

That's all there was of it. She was still
in shoal water. All she needed was the
timely word of instruction and advice.
But suppose it had not come? Suppose she
had not needed it? Was there no dan
ger? The open sea, a frail raft, and
Trailer woman! There are all the posi-
bilities of tragedy in these. Many and
many a drama of the sea has been played
on a smaller stage.
The woman on the raft is a type of hun
dreds of thousands of her sex who are
drifting into danger. Up TO definite day,
a given hour even, they have been enjoy
ing life in perfect security. Then in a mo-
ment, a sense of impending danger comes.
They realize that they are at the mercy
of disease, as dangerous an enemy to the
body as the great sea and its tempests are
to a raft Every day increases the danger.
They are drifting. drifting, drifting away
from peace Of mind and ease of body to
that silent sea where hope and help can
never come. Then comes the cry for
help. To thousands of appeals there has
come the answer from DR.. r. V. Pierce,
chief consulting physician to the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N.
Y,
WALK ASHOREi WALK ASHORE!l
You are still in the shallow waters of
disease. You can still get back without
more than Inconvenience to the land of
health behind you. All you need is just
the right word of advice and common
sense instruction in time, and the grip of
a helping hand. That is lust what Dr.
Pierce offers to every one suffering from
disease; timely, health restoring, life saw
ing advice, practical help. 1T requires
some confidence to take advice when your
own senses are against it. The woman
on the raft could not see the bottom of the
rolly water, and the land looked so far
away. So the woman in disease can't see
how she can be cured, and recovery of
health seems hopeless. And, perhaps, the
very disease that has begun to threaten
her is consumptive that dreadful disease
regarded by millions as incura BILE. Her To-
cal doctors perhaps say, I'VE can make
your suffering a little less, but there's no
hope" There is hopei Who says so? The
man who knows the whole sea of disease

and charted it in his great work, The

homes where this Dictionary of Disease

ground does he say u? On the ground of
a record of cures covering tens of thous-
ands of such cases. Were they sure

said. What did DR.. Pierce say? He said
they We're cases of walk ashore" You
can understand that You can't drown in
shoal water. unless you are scared to
death. It's the scare and ignorance that
speed the consumptive on his way. He
may be in shoal water, but he doesn' t
know it and just gives up his
GRIP ON LIFE.
When DR.. Pierce says walk ashore ="
he says it in the knowledge that those
words have been New Life to a host

rance and physicians to a consumptive's
