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 taxes That
much on faith. II 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 prescrlp-
tlons all the time. Sometimes his medi-
cine Is successful In the case but often
not. This mystery OF concealed pre-
scrlption Is intended to mystify and to
blind the patient. Ono 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-
,ary for our health and happiness
When the womanly system Is deranged
beyond the stage where II will respond
10 sunshine, good air, cheeriulness and
proper rest; when the balance OF health
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
hess and lassitude. Most all 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 (Cyprlpedium). This Is not
only beautiful but very useful plant.
The root of this plant when treated
properly with glycerine TO extract its
medicinal virtues Is srvaluable In all cases
Of nervous exctabillty or irrltability,"
says Prof. John NJ. Scudder, NJ. d. An
other authority, Prof, +. Elllngwood,
NJ. D., says OF this plant: Exercises
special influence upon nervous conditions
depending upon disorders OF the female
organs" Another plant which Is fre-
quently found In our American forests IS
Helonias, or Unicorn root. The AMERI-
CAN DIsPENsAToRY says OF this plant,
that 1t possesses a decidedly beneficial
influence In an enfeebled condition OF
the general system, with weakness or
dull pain In the renal, or lumbo-sacral
(small OF the back) region. In dis:
eases OF the womanly organs, 1t Is one OF
our most valuable agents, acting as
uterine tonic, and gradually removing
abnormal conditions, while at the same
time it imparts tone and vlgor 10 the
organs" Hence, ID is much used In ca
tarrhal, pelvic drains, Irregularities and
painful periods. Prof. King further says,
OF Unicorn root: "A particular phase
removed by it is the lrritability and
dependency that often attends these
troubles (referrlng 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 II they t0oltId tdu out OF
the body"
DR.. Pierce, chief consulting physician
To the Invallds Hotel and Surgical Insti-
tute Of Buffalo, n. Y, says, that 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-refned glycerine OF proper strength
(Which is used instead OF alcohoD, will
almost invariably cure those peculiar
weaknesses and malades incident 10
women. That Is why Or. Pierce, nearly
forty years ago, decided TO put up In q
ready TO use form, Prescription
which he had found so useful In his
large practice.
DR.. Pierce Is frank and open about
his ready prepared medicine, called DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription - he tells
Just what is contained In it-he says
II Is not a cure-all, as 1t serves only a
singleness OF purpose, being for women's
peculiar weakL Sses and maladies, the
only medicine put up for sale through
druggists for the cure OF such maladIes,
! all the ingredients Of which have the en-
dorsement Of leading medical practi-
tioners and writers, as being the very
best known remedies for the ailments for
| which rFavorlte Prescription is advised.
All this will be learned to the readers
full satisfaction by perusing booklet OF
extracts compiled by DR.. Pierce from
standard authorities OF the several schools
of practice, and which will DO sent free
TO any address on request for same,
mailed to DIR. r. V. Pierce, Buffalo, n. Y.
| 1t stands alone. DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription Is the only medicine for
woman's peculiar weakness and affec-
tions, all the ingredients Of which are
printed upon the bottle-wrapper In plain
| ErtgltSh. so that all who take 1t may
know exactly what they are using.
A further reason for the unprecedented
popularity Of the uFavorite Prescription
Of Dr. Pierce for the special use OF women
Is to be found in the fact that IL contains
not drop OF alcohol He does not be-
| lleve that an alcoholic compound is bene-
fetal for those affections peculiar to
women because the after-etfect OF spritu-
! GUS wines or alcoholic medicines is harm
tul for weak, invalid nervous women.
What vFavorlte Prescription has dono

similarly afflicted. and you give 1t good,
| fair and faithful trial
