cured by DR.. Pierce's treatment. In
many cases the peculiar features of

snatched from the grave and would live

A WOMAN'S PRIVILEGE.
Sick and ailing women are invited to
consult DIR. Pierce by letter, without
fee or charge of any kind. This avoids
the indelicatc questioninGs, offensive
examinations and obnoxious local treat
ments from which every right minded
woman shrinks. 1t is to be remembered
that in writing to Dr. Pierce you are
writing to a physician in regular and
active practice, who in his thirty years
Of experience as CHIEF consulting ply
sician to the Invalids HoLei and Surgi-
cal Institute, of Buffalo, n. Y, assisted
by his staff Of nearly a score of special-
lists, has successfully treated over half
a-milliOn women.
No other offer of free medical adj
vice" made by man or woman has be-
hind it the ability, the skill or the rec
ord shown by DR.. Pierce. Many offers
of medical advice are made by those
who cannot give what they offer Med
ical advice can only be given by a med
ical man or medical woman, qualified
by education and practice to treat dis
ease. Medical advice from a person,
whether man or woman, who is not
medically educated, is worse than
worthless. 1t is absolutely dangerous.

sense a temperance medicine.
