,ssz.s--,-- L. in place of our story
writer's, they have professional story
tellers. II is their art TO interest theif
listeners with tales of love, and marvellous
adventures, and hair-breadth escapes, and
magic cures. There's a story of wonder
ful medicine that has made thousands OF
cures that seemed almost magical, which
every woman should read or hear. TO
have heard it or to read II, may save wo-
man her own life or that Of her husband.
The medicine is the discovery Of Dr.
R. ". Pierce, an eminent and skillful spe-
cialist for thirty years chief consulting
physician TO the great Invalids' Hotel ana
Surgical Institute at Buffalo, n. Y. II IS
known as DR.. Pierceis Golden Medical Dis
covery. II makes the appetite hearty the
digestion perfect, the liver active. the
blood pure and rich, the nerves steady, the
brain clear and the body strong. X IS the
GREAT blood maker and flesh-builder. X
cures oS per cent of all cases Of consump-
ton and diseases Of the aif-passages. Il
cures nervous diseases and Is the best med
icine for overworked men and women. A
woman NAV save her husbands life by
keeping bottle in the house, and getting
him to resort to 1t when he feels out-oi
sorts All men are needless about their
health Medicines stores sell Il. Doctor
Pierce's reputation IS worldwide, and ms
fellow townsmen. of Buffalo, \. y, think
so highly of him that they made him their
representative in Congress, but his great
love for his profession caused him 10 resign
that honorable position that he might de.
