only man who could shoulder the OK.
How was it done? The athlete told the
story himself. He began with the OK
when it was a little calf, lifting 1T
daily, until it became the full grown
bulky beast which he carried in the
arena.
Milo was an athletic specialist. lie
is typical of all specialists in that he
succeeded by doing the same thing over
and over day after day for years.
One Of the greatest specialists OF the
day is DR.. r. V. Pierce, chief consult
ing physician to the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute of Buffalo, N. Y.
Thirty years of DR.. Pierce's life have
been given to the treatment of all the
varying forms of female disease. Every
day the diseases that affect the dellcate
] organs of women have been his study.
Half a million of women have been so
successfully treated by him that nine
: ty-eight per cent have been perfectly
and permanently cured. Why should
such success attend DR.. Pierces efforts
there was no help? Why should DR..
Pierce cure with his special medicines
when other physicians have said there
must be an operation? Are not
these other physicians as learned and
as clever as DR.. Pierce? Those are fair
questions and should be fairly an
sWered.
Doubtless similar questions were
asked about Milo. What is the mat
ter with the other athletes? They look
just as big and as strong as Milo. Why
can't they do what he does?" And
then appealing to the successful attn
lete, they ask. How do you manage
it, Milo?" And Milo answers, I've
been doing it for years. My skill has
grown with its daily exercise
That, in substance, is the plain answer
of DIR. Pierce to all questions as to the
secret of his superiority and of his sue
cess. Haven't these other physicians
the education to treat disease ?" Then
why do you succeed where others fail?"
it is asked Simply because I've been
treating these diseases for over thirty
years and my skill has grown every
day with its exercise" is the reply.
There's no secret, no mystery about this
success. It's acquired b. the same
methods by which the success of any
specialist is acquired; devotion to one
thing, and. daily practice. The same
things made Paderewski specialist on
the piano and <pr. Carver a specialist
with the rifle.
1t was the knowledge gained in this
daily practice and wide experience
which guided DR.. Pierce in the selection
and combination of the several ingredi-
ents which make up that remarkable
compound "FavoTite Prescription"
Thousands have welcomed it as the best
because it is "the friend in need.
