MY wife was sick for over eight
years" writes Albert H. Fulte, Esq, of
Altamount, Grundy County, Tenn.
She had uterine disease and was
treated by two physicians and got no
relief. AT last 1 read in one of your
Memorandum Books which you sent me
about DR.. Pierces medicines and we
decided to try his 'Favorite Prescrip-
ton. I sent to the drug store and
got one bottle and the nrst dose gave
ease and sleep. She had not slept any
for three nights. Being sure that it
would cure her I sent for five more bot
ties, and when she had taken the sixth
bottle she was sound and well. We
now have fine boy at our house"

Designing men, through alluring and
cunningly worded advertisements, con-
stantly endeavor to work upon the feel |
ings of sick and ailing women by invit-
ing them ito write to a woman @ and
secure woman's sympathy" 1t is we'll
to remember that the best sympathy
is to be had at home and not from
strangers. perhaps 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 appreciated and be just as beneficial. |
If not more so, than sympathy from a
stranger, yet it cannot effect your cure

1t is loudly proclaimed through the
press that "a woman can best under

ly designed for women-no one, there

or woman, connected with any "put |
up" medicine for women excepting only
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, who |
like DR.. Pierce, is a regular graduated |
and qualified physician. and who has, |
