To Help women VINO SuHer.

Miller has spent $125.00000 in giving
medical treatment TO afflicted women.
Some time ago we announced In the

More than a million women have ac-
cepted this generous offer. and as Mrs.
Miller is still receiving requests from
thousands of woman from all parts OF
the world who have not yet used the
remedy, she has decided to continue the
offer for awhile longer, at least.
This is the simple, mild and harmless
preparation that has cured so many
women in the privacy of their homes
after doctors and other remedies failed.
It is especially prepared for the
speedy and permanent cure of leucor-
rhoea or whitish discharges, ulcera-
ton, displacements or falling of the
womb, profuse, scanty or painful peri
DDS, uterine or ovarian tumors or
growths; also pains in the head, back
and bowels, bearing down, feelings,

her simple home remedy. also her
book with explanatory illustrations
showing why women suffer and how
they can easily euro themselves at

herself, weeping into the arms of her
mother Mrs. Nellie Goldsmith.
The statement comes from Joliet,

emo matter what has caused the
breakdown, "Favorite Prescriptions
will be found most effective in building
up the strength, regulating the womanly
functions, subduing pain and bringing
about healthy, strong, vigorous COM
dition of the whole system.
DIR. Pierce believes that our American
forests abound in most valuable medi-
cinal roots for the cure of most of our
obstinate and most fatal diseases, if we
would properly investigate them; and,
in confirmation of this firm conviction,
he points with pride to the almost mar
velous cures effected by his wGolden
Medical Discovery" which has proven
itself to be the most efficient stomach
tonic, liver invigorator, heart tonic and
regulator, and blood cleanser known to
medical science. Not less marvellous,
in the unparalleled cures it is constantly
making of woman's many peculiar affec-
tons, weakness and distressing derange-
ments, is DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton, as is amply attested by thousands
of unsolicited testimonials contributed
by grateful patients who have been
cured by it of leucorrhea, painful
periods, Irregularities, prolapsus and
other displacements, liberation of uterus
and kindred affections, often after many
other advertised medicines had failed.
Both these world famed medicines
are wholly made up from the glyceric
extracts of native, medicinal roots,
found in our American forests. The
processes employed in their manu-
facture were original with DIR. Pierce,
and they are carried on by skilled chem
lists and pharmacists with the aid of
apparatus and appliances specially
designed and built for this purpose.
Both medicines are entirely free from
alcohol and all other harmful, habit
forming drugs. What is said of their
power to cure the several diseases for
which they are advised may be easily
learned by sending your name and
address to DR.. r. V. Pierce, Buffalo,
N. Y, for little booklet which he has
compiled, containing copious extracts
from numerous standard medical books,
which are consulted as authorities by
of the several schools of
practice for their guidance in prescrib-
ing. 1t is FREE TO ALL. A postal card

DR.. Pierce's medicines, however, form
single and therefore striking exception
to the above rule. Their claim to the
confidence of invalids does not rest
solely upon their owners and makers
say-so or praise. Their ingredients are
matters of public knowledge, being
printed on each separate bottle-wrao-
per. Thus invalid sufferers are taken
into Dr. Pierce's full confidence. Scores
of leading medical men have written
enough to fill volumes in praise of the
curative value of the several ingredients
entering into these we'll known med
icines.
In favor Of: DR.. Pierce's medicines is
the frank, confiding, open, honest state
ment of their full composition, giving
every ingredient IN plain English, with
out fear of successful criticism and with
confidence that the good sense of the
afflicted will lead them to appreciate
this honorable manner of confiding to
them what ,hey are taking into their
stomachs when making use of these
medicines.
WHAT THEY CURE. People often
ask vWhat co DR.. Pierce's two leading
medicines-'Golden Medical Discovery
and Favorite Prescription cure?"
Briefly, the answer is that vGolden
Medical Disc o1eryn is most potent al
terative. or hlood-purifier, and tonic, or
invigorator, and acts especially favor
ably in a curative way upon all the
mucous lining surfaces, as of the nasal
passages, throat, bronchial tubes, stom-
ach, bowels and bladder curing large
percentage of catarrhal cases whether
the disease affects the nasal passages,
the throat, larynx, bronchia, stomach
(as catarrhal dyspepsia, bowels Gas
mucous diarrhea), bladder, uterus or
other pelvic organs. Even in the chronic
or Lucrative stages of these affections,
cures. In fact the vGolden Medical
Discovery" is without doubt, the most
successful constitutional remedy for all
forms of catarrhal diseases known to
modern medical science. In Chronic
Nasal Catarrh DR.. Sage's Catarrh Rem
edy fluid should be used for washing
and cleansing out the nasal passages
while taking the rDiscovery" for its
blood cleansing and specific, healing
effects upon the mucous lining mem
branes. This combined local and gen.
eral treatment will cure very large
percentage of the worst cases of chronic
nasal catarrh, no matter of how many
years standing they may be.
AS to the vFavorite Prescription,s it
is advised for the cure of one class of
diseases only-those weaknesses, de-
rangements and irregularities peculiar
to women. 1t is powerful, yet gently
acting, invigorating tonic and nervine.
