Backed up by over a third Of a century
sS remarkable and uniform cures, record
such as no other remedy for the diseases
and weaknesses peculiar to women ever
attained, the proprietors and makers OF
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel
fully warranted in offering to pay $500 in
legal money for any case of Leucorrhea,
Female Weakness, Prolapsus, or Falling OF
Womb which they cannot cure. All they
ask is fair and reasonable trial of their
means of cure.
Very often a married woman or Young
4frl does not know who to turn to for adj
vice in circumstances where she dislikes to
talk with the family physician about deli
cate matters. At such times write to DR..
r v. Pierce, chief consulting physician to
ef Buffalo, N. Y, for free consultation and
advice, and the same will be held as sa-
c1edly confidential. It is foolish to consult
women friends or persons without medical
training.
Or. Pierce's Favorite Prescription con-
t4ins no alcohol, is entirely vegetable and
was the first exclusively woman's tonic on
she market-it has sold more largely in
che past third of century than any other
medicine for women.
All other compounds intended for women
emily are made with alcohol, or alcohol is q

Speaking Of lace trimming re-
minds one that fine French embroi-
derry is used on the handsomest of
cloth gowns in combination with Val
enciennes lace. The effect of the
combination is heightened by stitch
ing the Val frills on the embroidery

the gown. This makes a rich decora-
ton and one that will prove very
popular.
