FOR WOMEN ONLY.

reasons why intelligent people and
physicians as well employ DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription for
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 weak
nesses and maladies incident to wo-
men. Besides it is the only medi-
cine put up for sale through drug
eists for the cure OF such maladles,
all the ingredients OF which have the
endorsement OF leading medical
practitioners and writers, as being
the very best known remedies for the
ailments for which "Favorite Pre-
scription" is advised All this will
be learned to the readers full salts
faction by perusing booklet of ex-
tracts compiled by Doctor Pierce
from standard authorities OF the sew
eral schools of practice, and which
will be sent FREE to any address
on request for same, mailed to DIR.
X. V. Pierce, Buffalo, n. Y,
In the second place, DR.. Pierce S
Favorite Prescription is the only
medicine for woman S peculiar weak
nesses and affections, all the ingre-
dents of which are printed upon the
bottle wrapper IN PLAIN ENG
LISH, so that all who take it may
know exactly what they are using.
A further reason for the unprece-
dented popularity of the 'Favorite
Prescription" OF DIR. Pierce for the
special use of women is to be found
in the fact that it contains not drop
of alcohol-pure, triple-reflned gly-
cerine, of proper strength, being
used instead, both for extracting and
preserving the medicinal principles
extracted from such roots of native,
medicinal, forest plants as are en-
ployed in its makeup. The printed
formula will also bear witness that it
contains no narcotics. or other harm
full or habit-forming drugs, being en-
tirely made up of glyceric extracts Of
native American plants OF marvellous
efficacy in the cure of the diseases
peculiar to women.
Now, in this connection, it is well
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 wo-
mems peculiar weaknesses and NAL
aides that does not contain alcohol,
AND THAT TOO IN LARGE
QUANTITIES. This fact can be
easily proven; and vet it is fact
well known to all the best physicians
that alcohol, even in small quantities,
when long continued, is very harm
full. AND ESPECIALLY SO TO
WEAK, INVALID, NERVOUS
WOMEN. While the effect of spir-
ituous wines and liquors, sold under
various enticing names, may at first
be to exhilarate, brace up and I'm
duly support the system for brief
time, vet 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, de-
luded, suffering woman "a malady
generally more to be dreaded than
the original affection.
Furthermore, DR.. Pierce'S Favo-
rite Prescription has a record OF
cures extending over a period ex-
ceeding one third of a century and
embracing more genuine cases OF full
and complete recovery than any 9th
er 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 efhcacious specific for wo
mans ailments. Other thousands
have escaped the disagreeable ordeal
OF the doctors questionings and Of
fensive examinations by taking this
remedy and being cured in the prl-
vacy OF their homes. 1t has cured
thousands OF bad, obstinate cases in
which doctors had failed and in
which cures were thought to be i'm
possible.
What it has done for others it will
no doubt DO FOR YOU, if similar
ly afflicted, and you give it a good,
fair and faithful trial.
In favor of DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription being regarded away
above the SECRET patent medi-
cines of our time, is the frank, con-
fding, open, honest statement OF its
full composition. giving every in
gredient in plain ENGLISH, with
out fear of successful criticism, and
with confidence that the good sense
OF afflicted women will lead them to
appreciate this honorable MANNER of
conhding to them what they are TAX
ing into their Stomachs when max
ing use of this medicine.
