The fire of Inflammation, scorching,
| scorching hour by hour, day by day.
| Ulcers eating like acids into the deli
cate parts on which they have fast
ened. The whole sensitive female or
| ganism unbalanced. The head throb-
bing, the back aching. "The whole
head sick and the whole heart faint"
Surely the passing pangs of the suttee
cannot compare with these pangs which
persist day after day.
But there is another singular resem-
| blance to the suttee in this sacrifice.
| Women are often persuaded to drown
| the cries of the outraged nerves by
opiates, narcotics, bromides and So
called nerve medicines and tonics. But
just as the woman in the fire suffers
though her shrieks are silenced so the
fire of Inflammation burns on, although
the cries of the nerves are quieted by
some destructive drug.
Look at this fact from another point
of view. Suppose your child cries in
hunger and you give it laudanum. 1t
will stop crying and go off into a sound
slumber. But the hunger will not be
appeased When the child wakes there
will be a keener hunger, which must
either be satisfied, or the child drugged
again into quiet. And the end of that
process is death. Opiates do not feed.
Opiates do not nourisn. Cocj ne. bro
mides, and similar preparatipI.s dull
the senses, stupify the nerves, a.. f"rl,
make them drunken. They rob the -
tenn of vital force but they never con-
tribute one jot to the bodys health or
strength.
THE RED LABEL
belongs to all bottles containing such
dangerous drugs. The red label is the
druggists danger signal and means
poison. There is one relief for woman,
a natural relief. 1t is to supply nature
with the means to put out the fire
of inflammation, to check the ravag-
ing ulcer, to correct the Irregularities,
and stop the weakening drains. And
no stimulant or opiate will ever do
this. What will? There are half a
million women who have been freed
from pain and wholly healed who
would say emphatically, There is one
medicine will cure, when doctors have
failed and hope is almost exhausted.
That one medicine is"-but let one wo-
man of the half million speak for her
self:
II write to let you know the great
benefit have received from the use Of
your medicines" says Mrs. Sidney r.
Oakes, of Whitmell, Pttsylvana Co,
Va. II am so grateful to you for your
advice. When i commenced your medi-
cines l had been treated by different
doctors for three months or more, but
would only receive partial relief for a
short while and then would be worse
than before their treatment. Was con-
fined to my bed most of the time. At
the time i commenced your treatment
my left side was completely paralyzed
Had no appetite, no desire to eat any
thing; bowels costive all the time
Nerves We're all unstrung, SO l could
not bear the least noise. l also suf-
fered from diseased ovaries and female
weakness. But thanks to my Maker
and you, after following your advice,
I am able to do all my washing, sew
ing and house work in general.
haven't had a spasm in two months.
Left off medicines about one month
ago. Didn't think it necessary to con-
tlnue them longer l have taken about
seven bottles of DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, seven OF the Golden
Medical Discovery and two Walls Of
Pleasant Pellets"
That is a case of real cure. There is
no opium, no cocaine TO numb the
nerves in DIR. Pierce's Fayorite Pre-
scription, nor is there a drop of alcohol
or whisky to stimulate and delude by
a semblance Of strength. 1t is abso-
lutely temperance medicine. It's
cures are due to its wonderful power
over the delicate female organs, giving
them vigor and vitality to fight against
and overcome the diseases which are
merely trespassers on Nature and
which Nature will promptly eject when
her strength is sufficiently reinforced.
This reinforcement is supplied by
"Favorite Prescription"
WOMEN! THINK OF 1T!
Think what it means to be released
from all the consequences of feminine
disorders, to be well, to feel well. to
look well: to eat, sleep and live in the
! full enjoyment Of every function OF
Nature. All this is made possible by
the use of Doctor Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription. Women in the worst condi-
, ton have tried it and been astonished
| at the results. There is Mrs. Lewis,
who suffered untold misery for fifteen
, years" Doctors couldn't help her
; Other medicines failed TO benefit her
She had "given up all hope Of ever
, getting WELL" Then she tried Favor
. ite Prescription" Read her own state
ment of the result:
Mrs. Mary T.. Lewis, of Tanner, Gill
mer Co, w. Va, writes; 81 will always
r recommend DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription, Golden Medical Discovery,
| and Pleasant PelletsI for they CURED
