Many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine,
one from dyspepsia, another from heart
disease, another from liver or kidney dis
ease, another from nervous exhaustion or
proStration, another with pain here and
there, and in this way they all present
alike To themselves and their easy-going
and indifferent, or .Over-buSy doctor, sep
arate and distinct diseases, for which he,
assuming them to be such, preScribes his
pills and potionS- In reality they are all
only symptoms caused by some womb dis
ease. The physician, ignorant Of the
cause OF suffering, encourages this prac-
tice until large bills are made. The Suf-
fering patient gets no better, but prob
ably worse, by reason of the delay, wrong
treatment and consequent complications.
A proper medicine like DIR. Pierce'S Fa-
vorite Prescription, directed to the cause
would have entirely removed the disease,
thereby dispelling all those distressing
symptoms, and inStitutng comfort in
stead OF prolonged misery, 1t has been
well said that "a disease known is half
cured" In cases almost innumerable,
after all other medicines had failed to
help and doctors had said there was no
cure possible, the use of DIR. Pierce's Fa-
Vorite Prescription, supplemented when
of Or. Pierce, has resulted in q perfect
and permanent cure. The genuineness OF
these cures Is otteSted not only by the
entire disappearance Of pain, but by a
gain of flesh, q clear complexion and q
cheerful disposition.
A SCIENTIFIC MEDICNE--Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is q scientific med
icine, carefully devised by an experienced
and skillful physician, and adapted to
.woman's delicate organism. 1t Is purely
vegetable in its composition and per-
fectly harmless in its effects IN any
