to remember that the best sympathy is
to be had at home and not from stran-
gers, perhaps hundreds of miles distant.

more so, than sympathy from a stran-

are an ailing woman.
1t is loudly proclaimed through the
press that "a woman can best under
stand woman's ailments and on this
ground sick women are invited to write
to a woman" and get the benefit of a
woman's advice. The sort of ''under-
standing of her ailments wanted by a
sick woman is a trained medical under
standing. If a woman has this trained
medical knowledge she understands wo-
mans 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 successfully, be-
cause she lacks the necessary training.
As far as known there is no regularly
qualified woman physician connected
with any proprietary medicine especially
designed for women-no one, therefore,
qLaliiied 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 excepting only DIR.
Pierce Favorite Prescription, who, like
DIR. Pierce, is a regular graduated and
qualified physician, and who has, like
him, devoted more than thirty years to
the special study and treatment of dis
eases of women.
In the strictest sense "Favorite Pre-
scriptioh" is a temperance medicine. 1t
contains no alcohol. whisky or other in
toxicants, and is free from opium, mar
cotics, 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 1t in its re-
markable cures. Do not therefore accept
any other medicine in Its place as lust
good" Nothing is just as good for
you which cannot show Just as good"
record of cures of female diseases. No
other medicine can show such record.
No other medicine therefore can be as
good.
