That letter offers a practical exam
pie of what "Favorite Prescription"
has done for thousands of women. AL
most all of the letters received by DR..
Pierce dwell on the wonderful absence
of pain, the cheerful spirits, the per-
fectly safe and comfortable feeling as
the hour of trial draws near and then
the crowning surprise of all, that the
ordeal of the birth hour is so short
and almost painless. But a good many
other women are pleased to tell the
other side of the story, how robust
their health becomes, how fine the form
and fair the face that follows the use
of this health giving medicine.
Mrs. Mary E. Lewis, of Tanner, Gill
mer Co., w. Va, writes: II will al
ways recommend DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, 'Favorite Prescrip-
ton and Pleasant Pellets for they
cured me when doctors and other
medicines failed. For fifteen years l
suffered untold misery. When I COM
menced taking DR.. Pierce's medicines
l had given up all hope of getting well.
I could not lie down to sleep and ev-
erything | ate would cramp me to
death. Was very nervous and could
hardly walk across the room. | only
weighed ninety pounds when l COM
menced taking these medicines six
years ago; l now weigh one hundred
and forty pounds and am having bet
ter health than ever before. My
friends all say that they can hardly
believe / am the same person; after
being sick so long l have changed to
be robust and rosy checked. | have
taken fifteen bottles of the 'Prescrip-
tion,' fifteen of the Discovery and tif-
teen of the Pellets / take great
pleasure in recommending your mcdi-
cines to the sick, for l know that If it
had not been for them l would not be
living today. I am very thankful to
God, who put the great power in your
medicines that cured me-"
The secret of these changes in
health and appearance is easily eX-
planned. The general health OF wo-
men cannot be separated from the
local health of the delicate and scnsi-
tive womanly organs. When these are
diseased, the whole health suffers. The
nerves are affected and the result is
sleeplessness and restlessness. The
functions of the stomach are disturbed
and the body suffers from lack of nu-
triton. Offensive drains sap the
strength and undermine the constitu-
ton, while female weakness and ul-
ceration and Inflammation afflict the
mind as well as affect the body.
The action of "FavOrlte Prescrip-
ton" Is such that all the delicate and
sensitive womanly organs are prompt
| ly helped and surely healed. Debili-
tating drains are dried up, inlamma-
| ton and liberation healed, female
weakness cured and the whole of the
organs peculiarly feminine are given
| vigor and elasticity. AS a result of
| this the bays coming is not dreaded,
| and it's advent entails no trial be-
yond the natural strength. When To-
| cal health is thus established, the
| causes of the hollow cheek, dull eye,
| and thin form are taken away.
Sick women are invited to consult
| DR.. r. V. Pierce by letter without
| charge. For more than thirty years
| as chief consulting physician of the
| Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute
| at Buffalo, n. Y, DR., Pierce has made
! the treatment of disease of women his
| special study. OF a half million cases
| treated, ninety-eight women out of
every hundred have been perfectly and
| permanently cured. It's a wonderful
record attested by grateful letters
from women in every part Of the cOun-
try. There is positively no charge for
| such consultation. Every letter is
held as strictly private and sacredly
confidential, and to preserve that pri-
vacy throughout, all answers are
mailed in perfectly plain envelopes
without printing or advertising upon
them. Write without fear as without
| fee.
| Designing men sometimes invite wo-
men to write to a woman 'on the
score Of receiving "a woman's SYM
| pathy" and that "a woman under
stands wOman's ailments" The
| The "beared lady" is evidently not
found in the dime museum alone. The
| fallacy of such statements is evident
when it Is considered that If any wo.
man can cure woman's diseases it mus
be by medical knoledge. 1t is only OF
| recent years women have entered the
medical profession. All the medica
