DAILY health TALKS
The Troubles Wornen Have
By L. MAC LEAN, NJ. y.

Probably no man in America was ever
better qualified to successfully treat the
diseases peculiar to women than DR..
Pierce OF Buffalo, N. Y. The cases that
come to him run into many thousands,
giving him an experience that rarely
comes TO any one man. DIR. Pierce found
that in nearly every case there were certain
vegetable growths which rarely failed to
give prompt relief in those feminine dis
orders IRON which so many women suffer.
He combined these roots and herbs into
Temperance medicine that he called DR..
Pierces Favorite Prescription, for that is
precisely what IL was. This medicine is
sold in both liquid and tablet form by drug
gists everywhere. Favorite Prescription
is a distinct remedy for women and acts
directly upon the organs that characterize
the sex. 1t is not necessary to take 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 age-is pretty sure to find in DR..
Pierce's Favorte 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 n very little money spent
for this remedy will probably make them
well, 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, MY, for free
confidential consultation and advice, no
charge being rlade for this high profession
al service. This viii enable every woman
TO benefit by the advice of the distinguish
cd 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 Favoritc
Prescription. Try them now
