CORNELIA, MOTHER OF THE GRAC-
CHI, AN ANCIENT TYPE OF THE
SOULLESS % WOMAN.
maternity to be not lifelong invalid
ism and misery" but lifelong happi-
ness 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
emancipated 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 motherhood, then
that n woman stands as a type of
the possibility of health to every other
woman.
An Army of Women.
There is an army of 800, 900 women,
representing il 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. Ex-
presSions such as Il am a new wom-
AMI" II never knew what it was to live
before!" Il am gone back again to be
robust and rosy-cheeked as in youth"
~ have been able to save a
child before; now l have the brightest
of healthy babies!" ~ scarcely suffered
at all with my last child; it was Won
derful,'-such expressions TEEN in the
thousands of letters received from
grateful women in the past thirty
years.
Mrs. Carrie B. Bonner, of Dayton,
Greene Co., Wis, writes: 81 can high
ly recommend DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription-having taken it for nine
months previous to confinement. 1
suffered scarcely any compared with
what l had at other times"
Mrs. Annie Blacker, 629 Catherine
street, Syracuse, N. Y, writes: your
medicines have done wonders for me.
For years my health was very poor. l
had four miscarriages, but since TAX
ing DR., Pierce's Favorite Prescription
and Golden Medical Discovery l have
much better health, and now l have a
fine healthy baby"
And who has wrought this deliver
ance for women? What means have
brought about these many cures?
The work has been done by DR.. R.
v. Pierce, chief consulting physician
of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical In
%stitute, Buffalo, N. Y. The general
means has been the use of DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription, supplemented by
his special advice where special diff
culties had to be overcome. Women
have called his advice priceless" 1t
Is given free. 1t goes with the medi-
cine, when necessary. In "Favorite
Prescription" DR.. Pierce prepared a
remedy which acts almost infallibly on
the delicate organs of the sex. But
women differ in fiber and tempera-
ment. This difference sometimes nee
essitates some little supplemental
treatment in order to give the medicine
It's most beneficial result.
The endeavor to meet that difference
IN women, to do what has never been
done before with a proprietary medi-
cine, adapt it to individual needs and
peculiar cases, wal the origin of the Of
fer of free consultation by letter with
DR.. Pierce.
h Cheapest Thing ON Earth.
It has passed into 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 exception to this rule. Any
body a give advice. Anybody can
offer medical advice. Only a qualified
physician can make good that offer. 4
great many have initiated DR.. Pierce's
offer 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 differ
ence In doctors, just as there's a diff
ference in lawyers, in soldiers, in
sailors, and in the members of every
other profession. Some men are made
to lead and these men become the cap
tains and generals in their professions.
The mass of men are only followers.
They cannot plan or originate. They
do what some n else tells them.
There are thousands of followers where
there Is only one leader.
The medical profession is no excep-
tion to this general rule. The mass of
the doctors are followers. They can
not originate. They follow somebody
else IN method Of treatment and in the
use of medicines. For this reason
they cannot make allowance for the
variations of individual temperament
which are sc important a feature in the
treatment Of diseases of women. They
treat all alike. Delicate, nervous,
Finely Tiberca womer
are treated without any consideration
Of che difference between them and the
iaofe ~coarsciy organized CT their sex.
