WEAK WOMEN
ARE MADE STRONG

There is nothing more distressing
in this world than the multitude of
ills and weaknesses peculiar 10 wo-
men. They are myraid in number
and as numerous in the characters
tics they display. Men, being differ
emily constituted. cannot understand
these female complaints and perhaps
they are not to be blamed for appar-
ent indifference to them. Bat what
is worse than to see a young woman,
just in the budding process, tied down
by weaknesses, by pain indescribable,
by sensations mat drive the patient
almost wild. Thousands of women
have suffered in this way. -Incom-
plainingly or cOmplainingly, as
may be their nature, and
thousands are still suffering.
From the time they enter upon real
womanly life until their hair Is gray
and their steps enfeebled by advanc-
ing age. they go through fortunes be-
side which those of the inquisition
were mild. In some cases they are
treated with the utmost sympathy.
Kind relatives and friends do all in
their power to alleviate the suffering
and To make them forget their pains,
For such sufferers ! have message
of comfort and a method of escape.
Electricity and Natures remedies
are my treatment. / use nothing
but natures own methods. The hor-
rors of the knife and the scalpeI are
relegated TO the background as being
no longer necessary.
THERE Is 4 REMEDY
For the human nervous system out
of order just as there is for the rail
way. When the wires are down or
crossed or the battery is displaced
workmen do not begin pouring poison

attack the wires themselves. That is
just what I do. BY my electric treat
ment ] restore the nervous equilibrium
and son the hectic flush or the pale
and wornout look make way for the
temperance of the color of health.
Weak women again see something in
life beside pain and torture. BY my
method Of electric treatment there is
almost instant relief and in a short
time complete recovery. Do not de-
lay and suffer longer, but consult me
