A DEEP MYSTERY SOLVED.
Women Blinded by Science.


The Doctor writes his prescription in
Latin and the patient shuts her eyes to
what she Is swallowing. She takes that
much on faith. If 1t should cure her she
doesn't know what cured her. II the
prescription Injuries her she doesn't know
what did the Injury. The physician Is
experimenting with different prescrip-
tions all the time. Sometimes his medi-
cine 10 successful in the case but often
ecription IL intended to mystify n to
blind the patient. One physician of wide
experience and national reputation does
not believe In mystifying the public, nor
does he grasp at the stars, but believes
that Nature provides that which Is neces-
sary for our health and happiness.
When the womanly system is deranged
beyond the stage where II will respond
to sunshine, good air, cheerfulness and
Is seriously disturbed this doctor believes
that Nature has placed at your hand
the balance Of power for good. Hidden
In our American forests are many plants
| which correct and cure those distressing
ailments which cause women to suffer
with backache, bearing-down pains, pain
In the back or front Of the head, nervous
ness and lassitpde,, Most oil women who
love Nature, who like to wander through
the woods, have at one time or another
picked the beautiful blossom Of the
Lady's Slipper Oypripedium). Thisis not
only o beautiful but q very useful plant.
The root OF this plant when treated
properly with glycerine to extract Its
medicinal virtues Is valuable In all cases
of nervous excitability or i~rrltability,"
says Prof. John M. Scudder, M, d. AM
NJ. D., says of this plant: WExerclses
special influence upon nervous conditions
depending upon disorders Of the female
organs" Another plant which is FREE
| Quently found in our American forests Is
Helonias, or Unicorn Foot. The AMERI-
CAN DIsPENsAToRY says. Of this plant,
/ that IT possesses q decidedly beneficial
influence In an enfeebled condition OF
the general system, with weakness or
dull pain in the renal, or lumbo-sacral
(sman of the backl region: In dis
cases of the womanly organs, II Is one Of
our most valuable agents, acting as o
uterine tonic, and gradually removing
abnormal conditions, while at the same
time 1t imparts tone and vigor to the
organs" Hence, 1t is much used In ca:
tarrhal, pelvic drains, 1rregalaritles and
Of Unicorn root: "a particular phase
removed by it is the irritability and
despondency that often attends these
troubles (referring to the ailments Just
mentloned). 1t has been found especially
adapted to those cases in which pelvic
fullness, and the aching, bearing down
organs feel as If they 1ooutd tau out Of
the body"
DR.. Pierce, chief consulting physician
to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Insti-
tute OF Buffalo, N. T., says, that a COM
bination of the active principles Of these
two native plants together with Golden
Seal root, Black Cohosh and Blue Cohosh
roots when extracted by the use of pure,
triple-reined glycerine OF proper strength
(which is used instead Of alcohol, will
almost invariably cure those peculiar
weaknesses and maladies incident to
women. That is why DR.. Pierce, nearly
forty years ago. decided to put up in o
ready : to use form, q prescription u
which he had found so useful in his
large practice.
Dr. Pierce is frank and open about
bis ready-prepared medicine, called DR..
Pferce's Fayorite Prescription he tells
Just what Is contained In it-he says
IL Is not O cure-all, as 1t serves only q
singleness of purpose, being for women's
peculiar weaknesses and maladies, the

dorsement Of leading medical practi-
tioners and writers, as being the very

1t stands alone. DR.. Pierce's Favoritt
Prescription Is the only medicine fol
woman's peculiar weakness and affec

A further reason for the unprecedentet
popularity Of the SFavorite Prescription
Of DR.. Pierce for the special use Of womel
is to be found In the fact that 1t contain
not q drop Of alcohol. He does not be
lieve that an alcoholic compound is bene
