CURIOUS cUcKoos.

The cuckoo is generally known only
rs bird with very monotonous note !:
q continuous cry of Cuckoo, cuckoo"
over and over again. Among naturalists,
however, the cuckoo is known as a bird
that never builds nest for itself, but
takes advantage of one already built by
some more industrious bird.
There is good deal of the cuckoo
about these advertisers who, instead of
making a success of their own, seek to
profit by the success which some one
else has made with much effort and
labor. 1t is so with those limitations of
DR.. Pierce's methods, by which free
medical advice is offered, although those
who make the offer are without qualified
medical ability or experience. And the
cry raised in some cases of woman,
woman, woman write to woman " makes
the resemblance to the cuckoo even
stronger.
There is as far as known no qualified
woman physician connected with any
proprietary medicine establishment, and
none therefore competent to give medi-
cal advice. 1t ascertain that there is no
one, man or woman, who can offer free
medical advice backed by such knowl-
edge and experience as is possessed by
DR.. R. " Pierce, chief consulting ply
eician to the World S Dispensary, Buffalo,
n. Y. For over thirty years Dr. Pierce
has made speciality Of the treatment
of diseases peculiar to women. In that
time he has treated over half-a-million
women, ninety-eight per cent. of whom
have been perfectly cured. Every sick
woman is invited TO consult DIR. Pierce
by letter absolutely without charge or
cost. Every letter is held as strictly pri-
vate and sacredly confidential, and all
answers are mailed securely sealed in
