and misery" but lifelong happiness
and health, then that woman takes up
the challenge thrown down to Nature.
But more than this: If there were but
one woman who had been emancipat ted
from the sufferings of her sex, who had
been led out of that darkened chamber
to which each month condemned her,
| who had been rescued from invalidism
and misery as a consequence of moth
erhood, then that one woman stands as
type of the possibility of health to
| every other woman.
AN ARMY OF WOMEN.
There is an army of 100000 women
representing in their ranks every form
and phase of female weakness, So
called, from mere irregularity in the
young woman to chronic disease of the
womb involving complications that
have kept the victim practically bed
| ridden for ten or even fifteen years
and every one of these has been per-
fectly and permanently cured. Express
sions such as "I am a new woman!"
fore" Il am gone back again to be
robust and rosy-cheeked as in youth"
II have never been able to save a child
before; now l have the brightest of
healthy babies!" "I scarcely suffered
at all with my last child; it was Won
derful. expressions teen in the
thousands of letters received from
grateful women in the past thirty
years.
Mrs. Carrie b. Donner, of Dayton,
Green Co, Wis, writes: IT can highly
recommend DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
| scription-having taken it for nine
months previous to confinement. I suf-
fered scarcely any compared with what
l had at other times"
Mrs. Annie Blacker 629 Catherine
Street, Syracuse, ~ Y, writes Your
medicines have done wonders for me.
For years my health was very poor I
had four mlscarriages, but since taking
DR., Pierce's Favorite Prescription and
Golden Medical Discovery I have
much better health, and now I have a
fine healthy baby"
And who has wrought this deliver
ance for women? What means have
brought about these many cures?
~ .
Pierce, chief consulting physician of the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo. n. Y. The general means has
been the use of DR.. Pierces Favorite
Prescription. supplemented by his spe
cial advice where special difficulties
had to be overcome. Women have
called this advice priceless" 1t is

when necessary. In "Favorite Pre-
scription" DR.. Pierce prepared rem
edy which acts almost infallibly on the
delicate organs of sex. But women
differ in fiber and temperament. This
difference sometimes necessitates some
little supplemental treatment in order
to give the medicine its most beneficial
result.
The endoavor to meet that difference
in women, to do what has never been
done before with a proprietary medi-
cine, adapt IL to individual needs and
peculiar cases, was the origin of the
offer Of free consultation by letter with
DR.. Pierce.
THE CHEAPEST THING ON EARTH.
1t has passed into a current saying
that advice Is the cheapest thing on
earth"-Cheap, that is, in the sense of
worthless. Medical advice, so-called. is
often no execution to this rule. Any
body can give advice. Anybody can
offer medical advice. Only qualified
physician can make good that offer. A
great many have initiated DR.. Pierce's :
ocser Of free medical advice" who are
not qualified physicians and are not
competent to give what they offer
But more than all there's a difference
in doctors, Just as there's a difference
in lawyers, in soldiers, In sailors, and
in the members of every other profess
sion. Some men are made to lead and
these men become the captains and
generals in their professions The mass
of men are only followers, They can
not plan or originate. They do what
someone else tells them. There are
thousands Of followers where there is
only one leader,
The medical profession Is no excep-
ton to this general rule The mass OF
the doctors are followers. They cannot
originate. They follow somebody else
in method of treatment and in the use
of medicines, For this reason they can
not make allowance for the variations
OF individual temperament which are
so important a feature in the treat
ment of disease of women, They treat
all alike. Delicate, nervous.
FINELY FIBERED WOMEN
are treated without any consideration
of the difference between them and the
more coarsely organized OF their sex.
And in this way women are often treat
ed for the wrong disease When the
womb is affected various nervous dis
