said her friend, IF
But to wish more virtue is to gain,
Your wish has carried you one step to-

And he was. Now let me tell you
THAT WOMAN's STORY.
She had three children in the first three
years of her married life, and at the end
of that time she was nothing but
wreck. She had severe trouble with the
womb, which caused her agony, her
nerves were shattered, she lost flesh, her
rounded cheeks fell in, her eye grew dull,
she could barely drag herself about. And

of one more needed ingredient, the exact
relation of the remedy TO the needs of the
body that lifts it out of the common
formula and gives il a claim to be hon

paused to breathe, Il had never thought
of it in that light. But do you really mean
to say that DR.. Pierces medicines made
her
A PERFECTLY WELL WOMAN?"
II mean to say Just that" was the an
swer. "She had tried everything. Her
local doctors had experimental with her.
Sine was in broken health and bankrupt
in hope. Then, when calling on a friend,
she happened to pick up a copy of DIR.
Pierce's great medical book, the Common
Sense Medical Adviser Turning over the
pages idly she read passages that i'm
pressed her with the practical common
sense of the views advanced. She discov-
cred that she had been at war with nature
and must be reconciled. But
not to prolong the story, it led to her TAX

result is what you see to-day"
SUCH CURES ARE COMMON.
and it is just such cases and such cures,
that have given DR.. Pierce's medicines
their hold on the public confidence and
claim or public gratitude. In every COM
