success or defeat Of our arms. The en-
envy can pour In a deadly fire upon our
men as they wade ashore, while they
may be In comparative safety behind
brastworks, unless they are within the
accurate range OF our war vessels. In
every engagement our men have shown
the most heroic bravery and steady
strong nerves coupled with determine
ton. When Farragut and Gushing
taught the world. in the naval engage
ments OF our late war, OF what mater
Ial our navy was made. We did not eX-
pect so soon to see their counterparts
in Dewey and Hobson.
For all the risks that are run BY our
men and the critical moments they eX-
perience, and the times when they feel
their nerves stretched to the breaking
point, there is unfortunately another
tremendous nervous strain endured by
the loved ones at home, the women. The
wife, mother or sister at home sits
YEARLY waiting for news Of those they
love-the men who are taking desper-
ate risks at the battles front. With
fear and dread they scan the paper to
look over the names OF those lost or
wounded In the last engagement. The
greatest calamity. the snddest picture
OF all war experiences is the disaster
that falls upon the weak and helpless
loved ones at home when their hero is
killed In action.
Who suffers most deeply and fear
fully from the shock Of battle? Who
feels most poignantly the stabs Of pow
erty and prlvation and disease? Human
life everywhere gives the answer as In
an open book that all may read: Wo-
men are ever the chief and sorriest VIC
tins; the weight OF misfortune falls
heaviest upon the mother and her child.
Look where you will In any corner Of
America to-day and you find women
suffering such ngonies from the weak
nesses and diseases peculiar TO their
sex as would make the bravest soldier
tiinch and almost hesitate to face them.
Their nervous systems are run down
at time when they need the greatest
fortltude. strong will and nerves OF steel
to bear their burdens OF care.
81 believe that the sick and suffering
women OF this country" says Doctor
Pierce, OF Buffalo, n. T.. whether In
times OF war or peace, are entitled to
Just as much sympathy as We bestow
upon our military and naval heroes;
Just as much care and attention and
solicitude; just as high an appreciation
OF their heroic fortitude and endur-
ance."
F rom his earliest practice as q young
physician thirty years ago, DIR, Pierce
has always felt that the grandest and
worthlest work In the world Tor a phB-
slclun is to raise up the suffering We.
men who labor under a constant bur-
den Of sickness and encouragement and
set them upon a higher plane OF ply
steal and mental capacity and healthful
VIgor.
Among all the achievements OF an
extraordinarily successful career In the
field OF medical practice. that which
yields him the deepest qualification Is
that he has been able to cope success
fully with those delicate and cOmpli-
Gated diseases which render the lives Of
80 many women miserable.
OF all his remarkable contributions to
medical science his marvellous Favor
lite Prescription" for w0men's COM
plants stands easily foremost In the
world among remedies OF Its class. It
has brought more perfect relief 10 SUI

conferred greater benefit upon their on

other medicines combined.
