DAILY HEALTH TALKS
The Troubles Women Have
BY +. MAC LEAN MD.
BY L. MAC LEAN, M. D.

Probably no man in America was ev,
better qualified to successfully treat th.
diseases peculiar to women than DR..
Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y. The cases tina.
come to him run into many thousands,
giving him an experience that rarely
comes to any one man. DR.. Pierce found
that in nearly every case there were certain
vegetable growths which rarely failed to
give prompt relief in those feminine dis
orders from which so many women suffer.
He combined these roots and herbs into o
temperance medicine that he called DR.,
Pierce's Favorite Prescription, for that i,
precisely what it was. This medicine is
sold in both liquid and tablet form by drug
gists everywhere. Favorite Prescription
is distinct remedy for women and acts
directly upon the organs that characterize
the sex. 1t is not necessary to take o long
course Of treatment with this standard
medicine. A weakly, sickly, backachy,
headachy, nervous, respondent woman,
with regular or irregular pains-with femi-
nine disorders that come in youth or
middle AGES pretty sure to find in DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription the exact
remedy that her condition calls for, and
to find it after very few doses are taken.
Why women should allow themselves to
stay sick when very little money spent
for this remedy will probably make them
we'll, is something no one can explain.
All women who suffer from feminine dis
orders are invited to write the Faculty Of
the Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, NY, for free
confidential consultation and advice, no
charge being raade for this high profession
al service. This will enable every woman
to beneSt by tie advice Of the distinguish
ed corps Of physicians which DR.. Pierce
has gathered about him in his celebrated
Buffalo institution.
When constipation is present with
feminine disorders, DR., Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets should be taken along with Favorite
Prescription. Try them nowl
