ness which Is not healthy. The utterly
worn -out feeling experienced by so
many women Is not due as a rule TO
the physical exhaustion of labor, but to
the draining away of the strength by
womanly diseases. Nervousness, head
ache, backache, and sleeplessness are
but a few of the common results of such
a diseased condition. Yet thousands of
women suffer from wonanly diseases for
years and make little or no effort TO
effect cure. They treat womanly dis
case as If II was purely local thing, and
only wake up 10 the disastrous effect cs
the disease upon the general health,
when there is an utter break down, fol-
lowed perhaps by years OF painful ill
ness
HOW TO BE CURED.
Any woman suffering from womanlv
disease can almost surely be cured by
the use of DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton. This statement is based on the
testimony of many thousands of women
who have been cured of womanly dis
eases (often when aggravated by neglect
or wrong treatment, and generally Of a
serious and painful nature), by the use
of rFavorite Prescription"
oI used four bottles of your Favorite
Prescription and one Of Golden Med

SHOTGUN
Prescriptions

We suppose we are not revealing
any trade secrets when we say
that many medicines are made up
on the principle of the so-called
shotgun prescriptions which
were formerly somewhat in vogue.
The idea of the shotgun pre-
scriptions was to put into a medi-
cine large number of different
drugs, each useful for different
purposes, in the hope that some
of them might hit the case.
The most successful physicians
we know use a more direct method.
The medicine we sell over our own
name and guarantee does the same.
This medicine is called Vinol. 1t
is the best thing we know for a run
down condition, for nerve troubles,
for lung troubles, for weak women,
pale children, and old people - in
fact, it is safe, pleasant, reliable
tonic and reconstructor.
1t is not a scattering shotgun
prescription" but it goes straight
to the mark, and has cured so
many people right here in town,
that it gives us confidence to
sell it on an absolute guarantee,
as follows; If you use a bottle and
it does not help you, well give
you your money back without a
word of complaint.
We could not afford to guarantee
it so boldly if we had not seen it
succeed in ninety-eight out of every
one hundred cases.
