Backed up by over a third of century

such as no other remedy for the diseases
and weaknesses peculiar to women ever

DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel
fully warranted in offering to pay $500 in
legal money of the United States, for any
case of Leucorrhea, Female Weakness,
Prolapsus, or Falling of Womb which they
can not cure. All they ask is fair and
reasonable trial of their means of cure.
Their financial responsibility is we'll
known to every newspaper publisher and
druggist in the United States. with most
of whom they have done business for over
q third of century. From this fact it will
readily be seen how utterly foolish it would
be for them to make the above unprece-
dented and remarkable offer if they were
not basing their offer on curative means
having an unparalleled record No other
medicine than DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scrption could possibly Twin out" as the
saying goes, on such proposition But
they know whereof they speak. They have
the most remarkable record of cures made
by this world famed remedy ever placed to
the credit of any preparation especially
designed for the cure of wo1nan's peculiar
ailments. This wonderful remedy, there
fore, stands absolutely alone as the only
one possessed of such remarkable curative
properties as would warrant its makers in
publishing such a marvellous offer as is
above made in the utmost good faith.
