Mothers advice is worth more tina,
the advice of any other woman to tn,

lens of physical health and comfort
There's no need therefore to "write to
u0man," who is a stranger.
There may, however, be need for {
PHYSICIANS advice to supplement the ad
vice of the mother. In such a case the
offer of free consultation by letter, made
by DR.. Pierce, opens the way to health
and at the same time avoids the un.
pleasant ~questionings, the repulsive ex.
aminations and offensive local treatments
which less experienced physicians often
insist on.
Any sick or ailing woman is invited to
write to DR.. Pierce, Buffalo, in the strict
est privacy. Each letter is held as a
sacred confidence and its answer is sent
in a plain envelope, bearing no printing
upon it.
Do not be misled by advertisements
offering medical advice" which are
published by those who not being ply
sicians are not qualified to give such ad-
vice. Any physician or doctor who has
a legal and professional right to the title
will publicly claim that title. Those
who offer medical advice" and invite
you to write to a woman " do not claim
that the woman is a doctor. The "medi.
cal advice" of an unprofessional woman
is Just as dangerous as the medical
advice" Of an unprofessional man. In
more than thirty years DR.. Pierce and his
staff of nearly a score of medical special.

million women. You can write without

THE TWENTIETH CENTURY.

When a few months more shall have
passed we will then stand at the very
threshold of the twentieth century, and
the nineteenth will be a thing of the
past. 1t will, however, be known as the
century of invention and discovery, and
among some of the greatest of these we
can truthfully mention Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, the celebrated remedy
for all ailments arising from a disorder
ed stomach, such as dyspepsia, indiges-
ton, fatulency, constipation and bill
iousness. 1t has been one of the great
est blessings to mankind during the
past fifty years as a health builder.
Many physicians recommend it. Take
their advice, try a bottle and be con-
WINGED, but be sure to get the genuine
with a Private Revenue Stamp over the
neck of the bottle.
