you she doesn't know. She Just feels
nervous, that's all. A man is apt to
have very little sympathy with this con-
dition in his wife. He can't see any
earthly reason why she should cry. She
has plenty to eat, plenty to wear, and he
does everything he can, he thinks, to
make her happy; and in spite of that,
she sits down and cries softly to herself,
apparently without any cause or reason.
But there is cause, and that cause is
some disorder or disease of the delicate
womanly organism. Unhealthy drains
have taken away the vital force. Infam-
nation is fretting the nerves of the
whole body. If women did but under
stand the intimate relation of the gen.
eral health to the local health of the
delicate womanly organs, they would
realize that the quick way to establish
the general health is to cure the local
disorders. DIR. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription dries the drains that enfeeble
women, heals inflammation and ulcera-
ton and cures female weakness. 1t is a
medicine that can absolutely be relied
upon to make weak women strong and
sick women well. 1t contains no alco-
hol, and is entirely free from opium,
cocaine and all other narcotics.
Women suffering from disease in
chronic form are invited to consult DR..
Pierce, by letter, free off charge. DIR.
Pierce, assisted by his staff of nearly a
score of physicians, has in & little over
thirty years treated and cured more
than half a million sick and ailinp
