How slowly he tramped across the sandy

hand to the side of his mouth and cried
hoarsely. walk ashore!'
Walk ashore.
That's all there was of 1t. She was still
in shoal water All she needed was the
timely word of instruction and advice.
But suppose 1t had not come? Suppose
she had not needed il: Was there no
danger? The open sea, frail raft. and
a Trailer woman, There are all the posi-
bilities of tragedy in these. Many and
many a drama of the sea mas been played
on a smaller stage.
The woman on the raft Is a type OF
hundreds of thousands of her sex who are
drifting into danger. Up to definite
day. a given hour even, they have been
enioying life in perfect security. Then. In
a moment, a sense of impending danger
comes They realize that they are at the
mercy of disease as dangerous an enemy
to the body as the great sea and Its tenn
pests are to a raft. Every day increases
the danger. They are drifting. drifting.
drifting away from peace Of mind and
ease of body to that silent sea where hope
and help can never come. Then comes
the cry for help. To thousands OF ap-
peals there has come the answer from

Institute. Buffalo. N. Y.

more than inconvenience to the land OF
health behind you. All you need Is just
the right word of advice and common
sense instruction in time. and the grip OF
a helping hand. That is just what Dr.
Pierce offers to everyone suffering from
disease; timely health restoring. iife-sav-
ing advice practical heip. 1t requires
some confidence to take advice when your
own senses are against 1t. The woman on
the raft could not see the potion of the
roily water and the land looked so Tar
away So the woman in disease can't see
how she can be cured. and recovery of
health seems hopeless. And. perhaps. the
very disease that has begun to threaten
her is consumption. that dreadful dis
ease regarded by millions as incurable.
Her local doctors perhaps say. I'VE can
make your suffering a little less but
there's no hope" There is hope! Who
says so? The man who knows the whole
sea of disease. has sounded it. diagramed
