Admiral Dewey, but the admiral gave
the Post no consolation on It's war on

SECRETS.

secrets than any other man or woman in
the country. These secrets are not e:
crets OF guilt or shame, but the secret! o.
suffering, and they have been couhded
70 Or. K. v. Pierce in the hope and ex-
pectation Of advice and help. That few
OF these women have been disappointed
in their expectations u proved BY the
fact that ninety-eight per cent. OF all
women treated By Dr.. Fierce have been
absolutely and altogether cured. Such a
record would be remarkable II the cases
treated were numbered by hundreds
only. But when that record applies to
the treatment OF more than half-a.niil-
lion women, In 4 practice Of over thirty
years, it is phenouienal, and entities Dr.
Pierce to the gratitude accorded him by
women, and the honor paid him by the
profession as the first Of specialists in
the treatment Of wotnen's diseases.
Every sick woman may consult DR..
Pierce hy letter, absolutely without
charge. Every woman's letter Which
contains her secret remains her secret.
