DOCTORS MKST4KES

Are said often to be buried six feet under
ground. But many times women call on
their family physicians, suffering, as they
imagine, onefrom dyspepsia, another from
heart disease, another from liver or kid
ney disease, another from nervous pros
tration, another with pain here and there,
and In this way they present alike to
themselves and their easy-going or over
busy doctor, separate diseases, for which
he, assuming them to be such, prescribes
his pills and potions. In reality, they are
all only symptoms caused by some uterine
disease. The physician, ignorant of the
cause of suffering, keeps up his treatment
until large bills are made. The suffering
patient gets no better, by reason Of the
wrong treatment, but probably worse. A
proper medicine like DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, directed to the cause would
have entirely removed the disease, there
by dispelling all those distressing symp-
toms, and inStituting comfort instead OF
prolonged misery. 1t has been well said,
that "a disease known is half cured"
