Sympathy may help a wound
ed heart but IL won't heal a
wounded limb.

That fact is so obvious that you wonder why any one can offer
"sympathy" as the chief feature of treatment for the delicate dis
eases of women. Yet women are invited to write to a woman who
can sympathize with woman" and the theme of their correspond
ence is to be the delicate, difficult and dangerous diseases which
undermine a womans health and strength. 1t is true that such
offers are combined with an offer of medical advice" But medical
advice can only be given by a competent physician, and no mention
is made in such offers of a physicians or doctors advice. It is not
offered because it cannot be given. The offer is not being made by
a qualified physician.
The offer Of free consultation by letter, made to ailing women by
DR.. R. V. Pierce, has behind it a physicians ability. DR.. Pierce is
consulting physician of the 1nvalds' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo. N. Y. Associated with Dr.. Pierce is a staff of nearly a
score of physicians, each man a specialist. In a practice of over
thirty years DR.. Pierce and his staff have treated successfully more
than half a million women, who have been cured of facilitating
drains, inhammations, alterations and female troubles. The age,
his chosen field Of diseases of women.
Yot can write to d.. Pierce without fear and without fee. Every
letter is read privately and answered confdentauy, the answer be-
ing sent In a plain envelope, without any printing upon it.
Dr.. Perces Favorite Prescription, has been gratefully named ia
God send to women" by those who have been cured by its use. It
is a medicine specially prepared for woman's use. 1t regulates the
periods, checks unhealthy drains, heals Inflammation and liberation
and cures female weakness.

Of the past TWO days A large crowd
has been constantly in attendance. The
evidence has all been introduced in the

and has not performed any labor since
he was % years Of age except about
three months. He claims that in his busl-
ness he travels under an assumed name.
He claims TO have recently been connect
ed with a foot race at Medford, o. T.
The defendant, Daisy Steele, is q wo-
man only % years Of age. II is not
claimed BY the state that she was present
when the money was taken from AnsiI.
the prosecuting witness, or thai she had
anything personally 10 do with taking the
money from him.
It appears that one OF the negroes who
AnseI claims took his money from him
has plead guilty and that the other one
has admitted TO the officers that he as
sisted in the commission OF the offense-
The state claims that Daisy Steele
knew the offense would be committed,
OF was in some way connected with IL
The defendant, Daisy Steele, took the
witness stand in her own behalf and tes-
titled that Ansu came TO her place and
bought about sl5 worth Of beer; that she
did not know that AasiI had atty moeey
more than what he had spent for beer.
and that she had no knowledge or con-
nection with the commission OF the Of
Tense charged.
