STOP WOMEN

from exercising common sense? You
can't do it. AS the old rhyme runs
"The mans fool who tries by force or skill
To turn the current Of woman's will
And il she won't she won't so there's end ont"
Common sense tells woman that when
she's sick she needs a doctor.
Common sense tells a woman that in
disease the first question is not of man or
woman but of recognized medical ability.
Common sense applied to advertisements
which invite women to write to woman
because she is a woman and understands
women" will show the women so appealed
to, that it's no use to write to any woman
about disease unless that woman is a
physician.
Common sense used in the reading of
advertisements will discover that no claim
is made in them to physicians knowl-
edge or diploma And that is not because
the claim would be morally culpable as a
lie, but because it would be legally pun
ishable as a fraud. The law permits you to
masquerade as a doctor in an advertise
ment, just so long as you don't actually
claim to be doctor, or put M. D. after
your name. That's why the advertisement
write to doctor.
Common sense has brought more than
half-a-million women, afflicted with some
form of female disease, to DR.. R. V. Pierce
as one of the most expert physicians in the
United States in the treatment of female
diseases. DR.. Pierce is specialist He
has given more than thirty years of active
practice to the treatment of female dis
eases. DR.. Pierce is not physician " by
courtesy. He is physician regularly grad
uated, legally empowered to practice and
with thirty years of experience in the treat
ment of diseases of women, which he has
made his specially.
The offer of free consultation by letter
made by DR.. Pierce is real offer, an honest
offer. 1t is an offer backed by medical
institution, with a worldwide reputation,
a staff of nearly score of regularly grad
uated physicians, practice which reaches.
every state in the Union and a record of
more than half-a-million women treated
and ninety eight out of every hundred
perfectly cured.
Write to doctor. That's the first thing.
Write to the doctor That's the next thing.
The woman's doctor, is DR.. r. " Pierce.

SECOND DAY OF STRIKE.
Cars Run, but Not as UsuaI-Eacb
Side Confident.

cars Hun, but Not as Usual-Each
Side Confident.
NEW YORK, July 1S.-Conditions
have changed but little in the struggle
between the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
company and its employees. Each side
is making claims that seem somewhat
wide of the truth.
To all appearances the big corporation
is operating the cars over most of it's
lines on a schedule which meets the de-
mands of traffic. The traffic, however. is
not as large as though no strike had been
declared, and the public seems shy of pat
rOnizing the cars while there are differ
ences between the employer and en-
ployee.
Each side processes confidence in its
ability to win. President Rossiter of
the Rapid Transit company declares that
so far as the company is concerned the
strike is all over. He says the attitude
of the men who declined to continue in
the cOmpany's service no longer gives
aim any concern.
President Rossiter late yesterday after
noon went out to the Flatbush barns to
address the men. There was a violent
demonstration in the hall of the strikers
while Mr., Rossiter was speaking, but he
never quailcd. He was struck with an
apple core as he left the place. A riot
marked his departure from the meeting
hall.

The Diet Fad.

Sensible people have learned that
the best diet is variety of wholesome
food. If the digestive apparatus is
out of order, no amount of starvation
diet will regulate it, but will tend to
aggravate rather than remedy the all
ment. If you are bilious, dyspeptic,
liver torpid, bowels constipated, yellow
with jaundice, or have sick headache,
cure yourself with Bakers Mandrake
Bitters, and then eat reasonably of
wholesome food and enjoy it. After
you are cured an occasional dose of
Bakers Mandrake Bitters will keep
you well. Price 25 cents per bottle,
also in tablets same price. All drug
gists guarantee it to cure or money
back.
