, N. Y. For more than thirty years he
has made a speciality OF the treatment
and cure of disease peculiar to women.
He has surrounded himself with a stan
of nearly score of medical counselors,
every man a graduated physician,
every man a specialist, each man par
ticularly able in the treatment of some
special form of disease. All this med
ical skill and ability is offered free to
these who write. You can't get such
such skill in country towns. Ii you
get it in cities, it costs large fees. 1t
is offered by DR.. Pierce without cost.
This method avoids the questions
which a modest woman shrinks from
answering, the offensive examinations,
the unpleasant local treatments. State
your case plainly and simply, as you
can do when you know that your let
ter is privileged communication, held
as strictly private and sacredly conf
Dental by DR.. Pierce, who will answer
it promptly, sending the answer in a
plain envelope, bearing no printing
upon it. The private character of this
correspondence with Doctor Pierce has
been greatly appreciated by women,
who have been the recipients of the
paternal as we'll as professional advice
given by him to each correspondent.
Any one can offer free medical adj
vice. But only physician can give it.
1t is we'll to examine all such offers,
whether made by man or woman, for
the mark of genuineness, which is the
claim to a physicians title and ability.
Cunningly worded advertisements seek
to cover up this lack of medical ability
in various ways, sometimes by playing
upon woman's sympathy and advising
her to write to a woman" etc. The
woman" doesn't claim medical knowl-
edge. Yet she does claim medical prac-
tice. And to make the affair more
complicated the law does not permit
medical practice without medical
knowledge, certified to by some insti-
tuition of medical learning in the form of
a diploma. What are you going to
make of man or woman who claims
to be committing an illegal act, prompt
ly and severely punishable by law,
claims it openly and publicly, and yet
who is not interfered with by the law
There is only one thing possible to
make of such a claim-that it is utterly
false. Investigation is necessary for
self-protection. Many sick people who
have come for treatment to the institute
presided over by DR.. Pierce, have been
amazed to find that every claim made
for DR.. Pierce's treatment was more
than substantiated. 1t would surprise
many and crafty all, to see the pa
tents who fill the reception rooms day
after day, new faces taking the place
of those who are cured.
