who sat AT some distance on the beach
mending his nets How slowly he got up.
How slowly he Iramped across the sandy
Ehore. And she was drifting, drifting,
drifting. Save mel she cried, Save
me-" as the old man came 10 the waters
edge The grizzled mariner raised his
hand 10 the side Of his mouth and cried
hoarsely, Walk ashOre!'
Walk ashore,
That's all there was of St She was still
So shoal water. All she needed was the
timely word Of instruction and advice.
But suppose II had not come? Suppose
she had not needed it, Was there no
danger? The open sea, a frail raft, and
a Trailer woman, There are all the posi-
bilities OF a tragedy in these. Many and
many drama of the sea mas been played
on a smaller stage.
The woman on the raft is type of
hundreds Of thousands Of her sex who are
drifting into danger. Up 10 definite
DAY. a given hour even, they have been
enjoying life in perfect security Then, in
a moment e sense Of impending danger
comes. They realize that they are at the
mercy Of disease, as dangerous an enemy
10 the body as the great sea and its tenn
pests are 10 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
Dr r. Y. Pierce. chief consulting ply
sician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute Buffalo, y. Y,
WALK ASHORE! WALK ASHORE!'
You are stil in the shallow waters of
disease You can still get back without
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. life-sav-
ing advice practical heIp. Il requires
some confidence to take advice when your
own senses are against il. The woman on
the raft could not see the bottom Of the
roily water and the land looked so far
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 -ay, we can
make your suffering a little less, but
there's no hope" There Is hopei Who
saws so? The man who knows the whole
