WOn1an's Trials.

The bitter trail in woman's life Is to
he childless. Who can tell how hard the
struggle may have been ere she learnt 70
resign herself to her lonely lot? The ab-
sence of this link to bind marital life
together, the absence of this one pledge
to mutual affection is common disap-
pOintment. Many unfortunate couples
become estranged thereby. Even if they
do not drift apart, one may read the whole
extent of their disappointment in the eyes
on the children OF Others. To them the
largest family does not seem too numerous.
In many cases of barrenness or child
lessness the obstacle to child-bearing is
easily removed by the cure of weakness on
the part OF the woman. DIR. Pierce'S Fa-
restoring health and fruitfulness to many
a barren woman, to the great Joy of the
household. In other, but rare cases, the
obstruction to the bearing of children has
been found to be of a surgical character,
but easily removable by painless operative
trea atment at the Invalids' Hctel and Sur
gical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y, over which
DIR. Pierce of the Favorite Prescription !"
fame presides. In all cases where chill
dren are desired and are absent. an effort
should be made to find out the real cause,
since it is generally so easily removed by
proper treatment.
In all the various weaknesses, displace-
bilitating, catarrhal drains and in all
cases of nervousness and debility, DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the most
efficient remedy that can possibly be used.
It has to its credit hundreds of thousands
of cures more in fact than any other
remedy. put up for sale through druggists,
especially for woman's use. The ingredi-
ents of which the uFavorite Prescription" +"
is composed have received the most
positive endorsement i from the leading
medical writer's on Mdteria MedicG of all
the several schools of practice. All the
ingredients are printed IN plain English
on the wrapper enclosing the bottle SO
that any woman making use of this
famous medicine may know exactly what
she, is taking. DIR Pierce takes his pa.
tients into his full confidence, which he
can afford to do as the formula after
which the 'Favorite Prescription is
made will bear the most careful exam
ination. zt
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are the
best and safest laxative for women.

Treating Wrong Disease.

Many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine,
one from dyspepsia, another from heart
disease, another from liver or kidney
disease, another from nervous exhaustion
or prustration, another with pain here and
there, and In this way they all present
alike TO themselves and their casy-going
and Indifferent, or Ovcr-husy doctor, sep-
nratc and distinct dlscases, for which he,
assuming them to bc such, prescribcs his
pills and potions. In reality, they are all
only symptoms caused by some uterine
disease. Tho physician, ignorant Of the
cause OF suffering. encourages this prac-
ticc until large bills are made. The SUI
fcring patient gets no better, but probably
worse, by reason Of the delay. wrong
treatment and consequent cOmplicnti tions.
