Fourth-Because the record of cures
by DIR. Pierce's treatment is phenome-
nal. In more than thirty years of prac-
tice half a million women have been
treated and ninety eight per cent of all
these have been absolutely and altogeth-
er cured.
There are others who make offers of
medical advice similar to that of Doctor
Pierce. But no such offer has behind it
a medical institution like the lnvalids'
Hotel and staff of qualified physicians,
or such a genuine record of cures.
Women for their own sakes should
investigate offers of medical advice
otherwise they may be led to write to
woman supposing they are writing
to qualified physician and getting
genuine medical advice. Investigation
would show that behind such an offer
there was no qualified medical knowf-
edge, but probably some man, who I'M
atle to write M. ID. after his name, was
| using a woman as bait, to attract
| women into a correspondence. In any
! case the medical advice of an unqualified
woman is just as dangerous as the med-
cal advice of an unqualified man.
THE WARNING OF THE PRESS.
Attention is being called in the public
press to the growing and dangerous use
of preparations of cocaine, which rs an
ingredient in so many medicines and
compounds. DIR. Pierces Favorite Pre-
scription contains neither cocaine. opium
nor any other narcotic, and is also en-
tirely free from alcohol, whiskey, and

Saturday night Mr.. Lawrence White
head, who lives a few miles in the
country, lost his barn and stables by
fire. Besides the buildings he lost also
his farming implements and log carts
and wagons. Of the latter his loss was
considerable, as he was largely engaged

that it was the work of an incendiary,
as the fire occurred at late hour, and
no other reasonable cause could be as
