DIR. PIERCE's MEDICINES.

and Diuretic Infusion (prescribed for me by Dr. Pierce) and now I am com fortable and can do a fair days work. '
 "Over a year ago I asked your ad- vice. also sent for the Common Sense Medical Adviser,'" writes Mrs James Fagen of Stiles, Oconto County, Wis. T followed the directions you gave, also bought two bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. In less than week after I commenced your treatment and took your invaluable Prescription I was almost well. There was such a change! My nervousness was leaving me. I slept soundly all night, something I had not done for over seven years. l was almost in despair when I commenced taking Dr. Pierce's Prescription I would get so nervous on retiring, my nerves would jump and twitch. I would change my position in bed a dozen different ways to obtain five minutes rest, but never a moments rest for me. I worked hard all day, but was sick, fretful and felt miserably all the time. I would have such melancholy spells and then was ever so much worse. I worried over nothing; in fact, everything seemed to bother me. If I should write to-day what have suffered in silence no liv- ing person would believe me, for it seems no woman could stand such mis- cry and still bear children. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a boon to Wo- man."
 These are but few out of many thousands. And now, how is 1t that after countless other remedies and doc- tors beyond naming for number, have unitedly failed, this unexampled Dis covery" reaches and masters such ap- parently hopeless diseases?
 Because 1t goes, straight as an ar row, to its mark, directly to those points in the nutritive system where life itself begins. Because it has the peculiar property of giving digestive power to the stomach, purifying ca pacity to the liver, blood making force to the assimilative glands, flesh -mak- ing, tissue building, muscle-h hardening, strength to every organ In the entire physical economy.
 It is the natural, reasonable obvi- ous result of Nature herself working along her own chosen channels, yet guided by trained, scientific intelli- gence. Doctor Pierce has a born faith in Nature which few physicians have His education, his lifelong experience and profound study have taught him what few physicians ever learn, that Nature herself stands ready with the remedy for every i'll, and the man who intelligently combines these forces will accomplish what can never be achieved by man alone.
 It was this faith. this intelligence, this combination of Nature with sci ence; of therapeutics with brains-that resulted in the most remarkable Med ical Discovery which ever blessed mankind.
 This same elemental genius, rising superior to mere stereotyped profess sionalism, has guided it's possessor to discover and achieve in the field of medicine more, it is safe to say, than any other her, one physician of modern times. That man is one of the best men in the world,' President Garfield once said, speaking of Dr. Pierce, with whose great work the President was acquainted. And he is at the head of one of the best medical institutions in the world" added the President.
 Hardly any one at all conversant
