And run down. But it usually takes
the skill OF the specialist to determine
the difference.
There are thousands OF women
just in the condition OF that watch.
They are all run down, but they
make the mistake of thinking that
they are broken down, and their con-
dition is often aggravated by their
fears. 1t often happens, however,
that the complex symptoms OF fenll-
nine diseases appear in the patients
Judgment Just as critical as the
stopped watch. 1t is simply run
down" condition and this run down
condition in woman means that the
vital forces are about exhausted. The
woman. unable to care for the family
or attend TO her household duties, is
as incapable of play as she is Of work,
is in constant pain, and feels that life
is about to end, and that she is COM
pletely broken down. Many thou-
sands of just such women have come
to DR.. K. V. Pierce, chief consulting
physician of the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, Buffalo, n Y.
DR.. Pierce is a specialist in the dis
eases OF women, and his more than
80 years experience has enabled him
to say to many suffering woman:
"You are not broken down. You
are Just run down. Your whole life
will run on again in its divinely ap-
pointed way, when the main spring
which dominates it is once more
regulated and enabled to exercise its
inherent and proper function"
The sufferings borne by women in
which men have no part or lot, and
OF the pains and pangs OF which they
are ignorant, are chiefly related to
those organs which are distinctivelv
feminine. Thus the run down" con-
dltion of woman & can ofttimes be
traced to the irregular periods which
beginning in maidenhood culrninate
in the unpleasant and debilitating
drains OF wifehood Then come the
strain and drain of frequently repeat
ed motherhood. and with it, ulcera-
tions, inflamnations, displacements
OF internal organs and bearing down
pains. The nerve force has almost
entirely departed There is no more
cOnJugal happiness and no more
courage to face the obligations of
maternity. The desponding mind OF
the prospective mother keeps fear
f,Il watch on the dial which marks
off the months and the days. She
shrinks from her coming anguish.
The little life knit up with hers is al
ready being blighted by her nervous
ness and gloomy forebodings, and
surely handicapped in the race OF
life This condition has been met in
a wonderful way by DR. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription. 1t quickly allays
inflammations, cures ulcerations, and
builds up the nerve centers. The
wife instead OF nervously pacing the
house wringing her hands in dread
OF the approaching day of pain, now
sits and sews in happy preparation
her fingers sometimes falling idly to
her lap, as she drifts into smiling
reverie, and already inaeines the TUG
Of the tiny fingers and the pressure
OF the tender lips upon her bosom
swelling with motherly pride and
happiness.
Such a transformation seems won,
derful. 1t is wonderful Yet it is as
true as it is wonderful A half mil
hon OF women have testified to these
facts; women who have been freed
from pain and suffering and been re-
stored TO the full measure of enjoy
ment which belongs to the happ,
duties OF wife and wother. Some few
OF these women tell their story in the
following testimonials:
