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 it 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-
! cine Is successful in the case but often
not. This mystery of concealed pre-
| scription is intended to myStify and 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 defanged
beyond tho stage where 1t will respond
| to sunshine, good air, cheerfulnesS 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
ness 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 tho
Lady's Slipper (Cypripedium). 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 valuable in all cases
Of nervous excitability or irritability,"

our most valuable agents, acting as q
abnormal conditions, while at the same
time it imparts tone and vigor to the
organs" Hence, it 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 irritablity and
dependency that often attends these

adapted to those cases in which pelvic

DR.. Pierce. chief consulting physician

tute of Buffalo, N. Y, says, that a COM

forty years ago, decided to put up in
ready to use form, . Prescription"
which he had found so useful In his
large practice.
DR.. Pierce is frank and open about
Pierce's Favorite PrescriptiOn-he tells
just what Is contained In it-he says
1t Is not a cure-all, as 1t serves only
singleneSs OF purpose, being for wOmen'S
| peculiar weaknesses 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-
TONERS and writer's, as being the very
best known remedies for the ailments for
which "Favorite Prescription Is advised.
All this will be learned to the readers
full satisfaction by perusing q booklet OF
extracts, compiled BY DR.. Pierce from
standard authorities OF the several schools
Of practice, and which will be sent free
to any address on request for same,
mailed to DIR. r. v. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
1t stands alone. DIR. Pierce's Favorito
Prescription Is the only medicine for
woman's peculiar weakness and affec-
lions, all the ingredients of which are
printed upon the bottle-wrapper IN plain
English, SO that all who take It may
know exactly what they are using.
A further reason for the unprecedented
popularity of the "Favorite Prescription"
OF DIR. Pierce for the special use of women
Is to be found in the fact that 1t contains
not drop OF alcohol. He does not be-
