have always gone out to those in viii
lage, town and hamlet who were at the
mercy of practitioners liable to misun-
derstand the symptoms Of disease.
Thousands of letters are on file which
testify that the local doctor had pro-
nounced the disease to be consumption
and given up the case as incurable, and
at last the patient has come to DR.. Pierce
and been absolutely cured by that fam
GUS specific for weak lungs, DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. Does this
imply that DR.. Pierce claims to cure
consumption? 1t implies nothing. 1t
simply asserts that DR.. Pierce has cur
ed again and again, cases which the
other doctors have pronounced to be
consumption and incurable. 1t is a
certain thing that when there has been
obstinate cough, emaciation, bronchi-
tbs, bleeding at the lungs, night
sweats, and all the conditions which,
if neglected, or unskillfully treated
lead up to consumption, a complete cure
has been effected by Golden Medical
Discovery" and the general treatment
suggested by DR.. Pierce in his free let
tiers of advice.
1t is not to be forgotten that this sue
cess depends upon skill, not upon cor
respondence only. Profound medical
skill is prerequisite to the successful
treatment of lung diseases as well as
of those disease Of women, such as
irregularities, liberation, Inflammation,
facilitating drains and bearing down
pains, forms of disease in the treat
ment of which DR.. Pierce has been so
signally successful, by means of his
"Favorite Prescription" and the special
health instruction given to women by
letter.
INVITATIONS WHICH DO NOT mi
TATE.
There are many who have initiated
DR.. Pierce's methods who cannot imi-
tate his cures. They are not doctors.
They do not claim to be. They keep
within the law. But they word their
advertisements ingeniously to convey
the idea that they are doctors. They
know nothing of medicine yet they offer
medical advice. Sometimes the device
is adopted of raising a great cry of
write to woman" forgetting CD at
the time to state that the woman" is
not a doctor. 1t is patent to any one
that woman who is not a doctor is
just as incapable of treating disease as
man who is not a doctor. 1t is to a
doctors training and experience in wo-
mans diseases that a woman looks for
safety, and there is no woman who
would not think it more modest to tell
her tale of suffering to man who was
a physician than to woman who was
not. The only safe plan to pursue is
to investigate these offers. Such in
vestigation will show that there is no
other medical institution in the United
States, planned on the broad lines of
the Worlds Dispensary Medical Asso-
citation, and Invalids' Hotel and Sur
gical Institute.
1t is special feature of this free con-
sultation by letter, that the patients
feelings are always considered The
same privacy is observed as in verbal
consultation. Each letter is read in
private, answered in private, and the
answer closely sealed in an envelope
bearing no advertisement or other
printing upon it. Do not hesitate If
you are sick to write to DR.. R. V.
Pierce. Buffalo, n Y. Write without
fear and without fee.
