THE KNIFE

Is always woman's dread though often doctor S
delight. There is no question but that enthusiasm
for surgery leads to the advice of operation
many times, when the operation is not only need
less but will prove absolutely unbenefcial. This
proposition is supported by medical testimony and
emphasized by the experience of the women whose
statements are given below. The first of these
statements is the more remarkable in that it comes
from woman physician. She suffered for three
years, was long under treatment, and then submit

Even if there were but such testimonial to the
remarkable cure of women's diseases by "Favorte
Prescription" it would be encouragement to give
it trial But the cures effected by this remarkable
medicine for women are legion in number and their
scope covers every form of wornanly disease which
is durable by the Use of medicine. Of "Favorite
Prescription" it be truthfully affirmed that it
always helps and almost always cures. Let any
suffering woman who reads these statements, ask
herself: Is not such remedy worth trial
These three cures are representative. Behind
them are half million other cures The record
shows that ninety-eight in every hundred women
who have used DR.. Pierces medicines have been
perfectly and permanently cured. Only two women
in each hundred fail of complete cure. But even
these report great benefit and improved health
Are you one of the ninety-eght who be COM

Such testimony cannot be read without the
thought, "How much suffering might have been
saved had DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription been
tried first instead of last" But would the timely
of uFavorite Prescription" have effected cure
That question is best answered by the testimonial
which follows. Here is a case in which the woman
was "a perfect physical s0veokn and suffered most

vised operation But the husband dreaded the
knife and prevailed on his wife to try "Favorite
