A sense, of modesty frequently prevents women who are really sick and suffering from seeking the aid of a physician. They do not even care to consult their family doctor They know that they are sick; ; that their periods painful that in ali probability they are suffering from ovarian troubles, or that they have those dragging pains which always point to prolapsus or falling of the womb. They know they need help yet do not know how to obtain it.
 To all such we speak in candor and in honesty. c. F. F. (Gerstle's Female Pana1 cea) will positively cure all such condttions no matter of how long standing or how stubborn.
