feminine to harmonious operations
in all their functions. The real pleas
ure in life then returns. The form
rounds out, the eye brightens, the
dragging step of disease gives place
to the springing step of health. A
smile, instead of a tear, goes into
every stitch going into the tiny gar
ments being made ready for the COM
ing guest-a guest who will receive
glad welcome from heart rich in
maternal love, and a body strong in
maternal power, to cherish and nour-
ish its infant life
All this transformation can be
wrought in your own house, if you
are a sufferer, without expensive
consultations, without indelicate
questioning or disagreeable exami-
nations and offensive local treat
ments.
You can consult DR.. Pierce by let
ter without cost. This is one of the
most generous professional offers
ever made. The specialist, as a rule,
multiplies his fees for advice by the
years of his experience. DR.. Pierce
as chief consulting physician to the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Insti-
tute OF Buffalo, New York, has given
thirty years to the special study Of
diseases of women. His vast expert
ence and success make him as SOW
ereign among specialists. He places
all this at your service without
charge. You can write without fear
and without fee. Every letter is held
strictly private and strictly conhden-
tial. We want to impress upon you
that this free consultation by letter
gives everything that it promises,
and is what it purports to be, the Of
fer of an honest medical opinion on
your case and condition given by a
specialist on woman's diseases, who
has in thirty years treated many
thousands of women.
Designing men, through alluring
and cunningly worded advertise
ments, constantly endeavor to work
upon the feelings of sick and ailing
women by inviting them ''to write to
woman O. and secure a woman's
sympathy" 1t is we'll to remember
that the best sympathy is to be had
at home and not from strangers, per-
haps hundreds of miles distant. The
object Of the sick is to get well, and
however precious sympathy may be,
it never yet cured a seriously afflicted
woman. While the sympathy of your
milliner or dressmaker might be ap
preciated and be just as beneficial, if
not more so, than sympathy from
stranger, yet it cannot effect your
cure if you are an ailing woman.
1t is loudly proclaimed through
the press that "a woman can best I'M
derstand a woman's ailments" and
on this ground sick women are in
vited to write to woman" and get
the benefit of a woman's advice. The
sort of understanding of her all
ments" wanted by a sick woman is a
trained medical understanding. If a
woman has this trained medical
knowledge she understands woman's
ailments not as a woman, but as a
physician If she is not a doctor she
cannot understand the ailments at
all. and cannot treat them success
fully, because she lacks the necessary
training.
AS far as known there is no regu-
larly qualified woman physician con-
nected with any proprietary medi-
cine especially designed for women
no one, therefore, qualified by
learning and experience to advise on
questions of disease and its cure.
1t is certain that there is no one,
man or woman, connected with any
'put-up' medicine for women ex-
cepting only DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, who, like DR.. Pierce, is
regular graduated and qualified
physician, and who has, like him, de-
voted more than thirty years to the
special study and treatment of dis
eases of women.
In the strictest sense "Favorite
Prescription is temperance medi-
cine. 1t contains no alcohol, whisky
or other intoxicants, and is free from
opium, narcotics, syrup or sugar.
Without any of these it preserves its
healing virtues in any climate.
All dealers in medicine sell DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. There
is no other medicine to compare with
it in its remarkable cures Do not,
therefore, accept any other medicine
in its place as lust as good" Moth
ing is just as good for you which
cannot show lust as good" record
of cures of female diseases. No other
medicine can show such a record
No other medicine, therefore, can be
as good.
The wonder book" of family med
icine is DR.. Pierce's Common Sense
