reasons why intelligent people and
physicians as well, employ DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription fot
the cure OF diseases and weakness
peculiar to women.
In the first place, it is not cure
all, serving only singleness of pur-
pose, being a specific for one class
of diseases only-those peculiar
weaknesses and maladies incident
to women. Besides it is the only
medicine put TIP for sale through
druggists for the cure of such mala-
dies, all the ingredients of which
have the endorsement of leading
medical practitioners and writer's, as
being the very best known remedies
for the ailments for which "Favorite
Prescription" is advised All this
will be learned to the readers full
satisfaction by perusing booklet OF
extracts compiled by Doctor Pierce
from standard authorities of the
several schools of practice, and
which will be sent free to any adj
dress on request for same, mailed
to DR.. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
In the second place, DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription Is the only
medicine for woman's peculiar
weaknesses and affections, all the
ingredients of which are printed
upon the bottle wrapper in plain
English, so that all who take it may
know exactly what they are using.
A further reason for the unprece-
denied popularity of the "Favorite
Prescription" of DR.. Pierce for the
special use of women Is to be found
in the fact that it contains not drop
OF alcohol-pure, triple-refined glyc
crime, of proper strength, being used
instead, both for extracting and pre-
serving the medicinal principles ex-
tracted from such roots of native,
medicinal, forest plants as are en-
ployed in its makeup. The printed
formula will also bear witness that
1t contains no narcotics or other
harmful or Authorizing drugs, be-
ing entirely made UP Of glyceric ex-
tracts of native American plants Of
marvellous efficacy in the cure of the
diseases peculiar to women.
Now, in this connection, it is we'll
to bear in mind that, curious as it
may seem, yet it is a fact that Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the
only medicine for the cure of worn-
ems peculiar weaknesses and mala-
dies that does not contain alcohol,
and that, too, in large quantities.
This fact can be easily proven; and
yet it is a fact we'll known to all the
best physicians that alcohol, even in
small quantities, when long contin-
ued, is very harmful, and especially
SO to weak, invalid, nervous women.
While the effect of spirituous wines
and liquors, sold under various en-
tIcing names, may at first be to ex-
hilarate, brace up and unduly sup
port the system for brief time, yet
a reaction comes sooner or later and
the patient is worse off than before.
Besides, a craving for alcoholic
stimulants has gradually fastened
itself upon the poor, deluded, suffer-
ing woman-a malady generally
more to be dreaded than the original
affection.
Furthermore, DR.. Pierce's Favor
ite Prescription has record of cures
extending over a period exceeding
one-third of century and embrac-
Ing more genuine cases OF full and
complete recovery than any other
medicine in its line can boast of.
Thousands have been saved from
the operating table and the SUR
geon's knife by the use of this mar
velously eficacious specific for
woman's ailments. Other thou
sands have escaped the disagreeablc
ordeal OF the doctors questionings
and offensive examinations by TAX
ing this remedy and being cured in
the privacy of their homes. It has
cured thousands of bad, obstinate
cases in which doctors had failed
and In which cures were thought to
be impossible.
What it has done for others it will
no doubt do for you, if similarly az
ficted, and you give it good, fair
and faithful trial.
In favor Of DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription being regarded away
above the secret patent medicines of
our time, Is the frank, conhding,
open, honest statement OF its full
composition, giving every ingredient
in plain English, without fear of sue
cessful criticism and with confidence
that the good sense of afflicted wom-
en- will lead them to appreciate this
honorable manner of confding to
them what they are taking into their
stomacfs when making use of this
medicine.
