WORD OF CAUTION.

The old saying that :" man, who is
naked can't give away his shirt" is only
another way of saying that you can't
give what you haven't, got. The man
Can't give "free medical advice" or any
other kind of medical advice who hasn't
got medical education and certificate
to the fact, in the form of a diploma
And in this particular a woman has no
more privilege than man. She can't
give medical advice without medical edu-
cation and medical knowledge.
The offer of free medical advice made
BY Dr. Pierce, chief consulting physician
to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical In
stitute Buffalo, N. ", has been initiated
BY so many, who without any medical
qualifications claim to give medical
advice" that word of caution is neces-
Sary.
Don't write for medical advice to any
one, man or woman, who is not a ply
stefan. If they are physicians they will
take the title of physicians or doctors so
that you may recognize them. If they
don't claim that title it is because they
dare not, for fear of the law.
Do not forget that there is just as
much difference i'll doctors as in artists.

and paints. But these ARTISTS" gener-
ally paint copies of the works of great
artists like Millet There was only one
Millet.
There is only one Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, such as Dr. Pierce
presidcs over. Thousands of women
come or write to DR. Pierce who have
found 10 help at the hands of doctors of
lesser skill and narrower experience.
Any sick or ailing woman, suffering
from the distressing forms of disease
peculiar to women, is invited to con-
suit Dr. Pierce, by letter, free. Such con-
situations are absolutely private. Each
letter is treated as a sacred confidence,
and each answer is sent in a plain EN-
velope, bearing no printing upon it.
In this way offensive questions and
repulsive examinations may be avoided.

Here is the latest story showing the
mcrcenary instincts of the children of
Abraham. 1t comes from Old orchard
where there is a good sized Jerusalem

resort the bath houses are leased for 81

at one of the hotels, leased a bath
room for a week, and one of the cold
days this week his son said that he
wasn't going into the water because of
| the cold. 1t don't make any differ

indignant parent. Il am paying 81 a
