How TO
Gain Flesh

Persons have been known to
gain a pound a day by taking
an ounce of SCOTS EMUL-
SION. II is strange, but it often
happens.
Somehow the ounce produces
the pound; it seems to start the
digestive machinery going prop
erly, so that the patient is able
TO digest and absorb his ordinary
food, which he could not do be-
fore, and that is the way the gain
is made.

necessary for health; if you have

stefan. For this reason many woman
lets disease fasten upon her. She con-
ceals her condition and endures a daily
martyrdom of pain because her mind
revolts at the thought of submission TO
the treatment she knows the local prac-
titioner will insist upon.
Very many women have written CRATE
full letters TO DR.. K. V. Pierce, of Buffalo,
N. ", because they have found in his
methods an escape from the offensive
questions, the obnoxious examinations.
and the disagreeable local treatments
insisted on by so many home physicians.
These things are, as rule, not necessary.
DR. Pierce's experience and success III
treating hundreds of thousands of women,
enables him at once 10 determine from
the written statements Of women the
form Of disease which il is necessary TO
treat. Sick women are invited to con-
suit DR.. Pierce, by letter, FREE. All
correspondence is sscredly confidential
and the same strict professional privacy
guards the written condolences of women
as is observed by DIR. Pierce and his staff
in personal consultations with women at

tute, Buffalo, n. y.
