run down. But it usually takes the =,
skill of the specialist to determine the |
difference.
There are thousands of women, just |
in the condition of that watch They |
are all run down, but they make the |
mistake of thinking that they are brok- |
en- down, and their condition is often |
| aggravated by their fears. 1t often
happens, however, that the complex
symptoms of feminine diseases appear
| in the patients judgment just as criti-
| cal as the stopped watch. 1t is simply
| a run down" condition and this run
| down condition in woman means that
| the vital forces are about exhausted.
| The woman, unable to care for the
| family or attend to her household du-
ties, is as incapable of play as she is
| of work, is in constant pain, and feels
| that life is about to end, and that she
is completely broken down. Many thou
| sands of just such women Nave come
to DR.. II. V. Pierce, chief consulting
| physician of the Invalids Hotel and
Surgical Institute. Buffalo, N /. DR..
| Pierce is specialist in the diseases
of women, and his more than thirty
years experience has enabled him to
say to many suffering woman: You
run down. Your whole life will run
on again in it's divinely appointed way
when the main spring which dominates
| It, is once more regulated and enabled
to exercise its inherent and proper
| function"
The sufferings borne by women in
which men have no part or lot and Of
the pains and pangs of which they are
| ignorant, are chiefly related to those
| organs which are distinctively femi-
| nine. Thus the run down" condition
| of woman can oft-times be traced to
the irregular periods which beginning
| in maidenhood culminate in the un-
| pleasant and debilitating drains OF
| wifehood. Then come the strain and
drain of frequently repeated mother
| hood, end with 1t, ulceratiOnS infiam-
nations, displacements of internal or
gans and bearing down pains. The
nerve force has almost entirely depart
ed. There is no more conjugal happi-
ness and no more courage to face the
obligations of maternity. The despond-
ing mind of the prospective mother
keeps a fearful watch on the dial which
marks off the months and the days
| She shrinks from her coming anguish
| The little life knit up with hers is al
ready being blighted by her nervous
ness and gloomy forebodings, and sure
ly handicapped in the race of life. This
condition has been met in wonder
full way by DR.. Pierce's FavOrite Pre-
scripton. 1t quickly allays intlamma-
tions, cures alterations, and builds up
the nerve centers. The wife instead of
nervOusly pacing the house wringing
her hands in dread of the approaching
day of pain, now sits and sews in hap
py preparation. her fingers sometimes
falling idly to her lap, as she drifts into
smiling reverie, and already imagines
the tug of the tiny fingers and the
pressure of the tender lips upon her
bosom, swelling with motherly pride
and happiness.
Such a transformation seems Won
} derful. 1t is wonderful. Yet it Is as
true as il is wonderful half mill
lion of women have testified to these
facts; women who have been freed
from pain and suffering and been re-
stored to the full measure of enjoy
ment which belongs to the happy du-
ties of wife and mother. Some few Of
: these women tell their story in the fol-
lowing testimonials:
