Of 'Favonte Prescription and two Of
Golden Medical Discovery she was
cured and got out of bed and was able
to attend to her Homework once more"
Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription
makes weak women strong and sick
women well. 1t establishes regularity,
dries the drains which weaken women,
heals inflammation and liberation and
cures female weakness. When taken a
a preparative for maternity it promotes
health of body and cheerfulness Of
mind. It encourages the appetite, in
duces refreshing sleep, and when the
hour of trial comes it makes the baby's
advent practically painless. 1t is the
best tonic for nursing mothers, promot-
ing the flow of the nutritive secretions
and giving the mother strength to give
her child.
"My wife was sick for over eight
years." writes Albert H. Fulte. ESQ. of

even powerless to help the sufferer.
One such husband thus relates his ex-
perience
81 take pleasure ir writing you to let
you know about your Favorite Prescrip-
tion,'n says Mr.. E. E. Fricke, of Peters
burg, Menard Co., Ills, Box 367. uMy
wife had been sick nearly all her life,
and after trying everything I could think
of made up my mind to try Favorite
Prescription I sent to Chicago and got
six bottles, which my wife took, table
spoonful three times a day, until the
baby came. She felt better after taking
the first bottle, and when baby was born
he weighed nine and half pounds.
To-day he is six months old and weighs
twenty-five pounds. He is as good
child as any one could wish. The doctor
says he is as healthy as any baby could
be, and also the doctor says your Favor
lite Prescription was the cause of such
healthy baby. / felt I owed you this
much for the good you did my wife and
for my own happiness
HIS wBETTER HALF"
The reference to the wife as the
wbetter half" is made sometimes half
humorously. But in his heart every
man feels that the old phrase expresses
fact. When the wife is sick the whole
fabric of home totters to its fall. When
the wife is confined to her bed the hus-
band leads half life, life from which
the sunshine and laughter have been
taken away. 1t is not to be wondered
at therefore. that husbands express their
gratitude for the cures which follow the
use of DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
What change from sickly bed-ridden
wife, helpless and miserable, to wife
who is once more able to "guide the
house" in health and happiness.
my wife was afflicted with uterine
trouble for several years." writes Mr..

Co., Pa, oand in November, 1898, the
doctor said she had a mishap. He
treated her for about two months or so,
but there was but little improvement. l

This offer of free consultation by letter
Is not to be classed with the spurious
offers of "free medical advice" made by
those who having neither professional
training nor experience are medically
and legally unqualified to give the adj
vice they offer. Although 1t takes more
than a diploma to make a good physi-
clan yet the medical diploma is essen
tial as witnessing to professional study
and training. 1t is we'll for women to
examine into offers of ofree medical
ADVICE and to ascertain whether the
offer is made by those competent pro-
fessionally aud legally to give medical
advice. Any one can offer umedical
advice" but such advice from one who
is not medically educated and qualified
is not only worthless but dangerous.

HELPLESS HUSBANDS
HOW HELPLESS HUSBANDS
HAVE BECOME HELPFUL

Never does a man feel so helpless as
when he looks upon the suffering of the
wife he loves and knows that he is
powerless to prevent it. And when, as
is often the case, he has exhausted every
means at his disposal in the vain effort
to restore his wife to health, his despair
almost equals her suffering. There are
husbands who have passed through this
experience and have found a way to be
helpful to their wives when physicians
had absolutely failed to cure, and been

searched the neighborhood and the
surrounding country for hours. the

Mrs. Hillman started from her homo

lives at Wayne Junction. The train
left at 1876. and Mrs. Hillman hur-
ried along the road. She passed a
spot where grows a clump OF trees,
and as she did 50 a man jumped out
from the shadow and seized her.
Before she could scream he slapped
a plaster over her mouth and threw
her to the ground. He then seized her
pocketbook. and. still holding her
without a word, poured a bottle OF
coal oil over her clothes. He then set
fire to her skirt and ran away.
Mrs. Hillman. almost frantic with
terror, struggled TO her feet. The
flames were already beginning &c
creep up her skirt. She tried to SHREK
for help, but the plaster stopped ut
terance. Then, with rare presence OF
mind, she unloosened her skirt at tho
waist and let the blazing garment
drop to the ground.
Mrs Hillman's underwaist almost
caught FIRE, but she beat out the
flames. and, mad with fear, ran TO
wards her home. She tried to tea
the plaster from her mouth, but coulC
not. She reached her own door. onl,
