WOMAN, YOU CAN BE CURED.
An Eminent Physician Gives to the
 World a Marvellous Prescription.

One of the leading pnysiclans in Amer. lea, who has made life study of the treatment of diseases peculiar 10 women and who met with unyarying success ir a large and varied private and sanatorium practice has given to the suffering wona- en O. our country the benefit of his life's work. This eminent specialists prescrip- ton is now sold by all the leading drug gists everywhere under the name of Fem inala and may be had at the nominal price of S1.00 bottle.
 Feminala is actually a boon to afflicted women. In the great majority of in- stances it does more than beneht-it ab- solutely cures.
 Feminala is a specific. That means that it cures upon a principle peculiar to it. self; that it cures in a manner not com mon to another medicine.
 In this sense, Feminala cures by remov- ing or eradicating the cause, not by treat ment of the disease itself.
 For Instance-take the simple and easily understood ase of Ieucorrhoea, known among WI en as female weakness. g Leucorfho is a disorder growing out of infiammat of the uterus. or the womb, so what isl he use of treating leucorrhoea unless the Cause is removed, which is in- flammatlon of the womb?
 Thus-with Feminala, 1t cures by going down deep and removing the cause, then imparting strength and normal character to the parts that the cure may be sure and permanent.
 Note to Women-A book concerning dis eases peculiar to women will be mailed, in plain sealed envelope, free upon re- quest. if addressed to the American Drug Company. Birmingham. Ala. Write for 1t to-day.
