I write to express my gratitude to Dr. Pierce for MB medicine, 'Favorite Prescription,'" writes Mrs. Lucy A. Moss, of Meagsville, Tenn. I was suffering for about twenty years with female disease, also sick headache, painful periods, dizziness and many other bad feelings. At last was confined to my bed and was given up by my husband and friends. I could not walk a step, and my husband had to lift me about like a baby. At last I began taking Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Took three bottles and am glad to say to-day that 1 feel like a new woman. Am able to do my own washing and house- work, and I wish to praise Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription world-wide. I cannot say enoughJor it it is worth more than all I could Bay of it." I have used your medicine, and can say there is none to equal it" writes Mrs. Samuel Taylor, of Ransom, Kans. 1 recommend it to all'I Know to be in need of medicine, and all seem equally pleased with it The medicine speaks for itself. One of my lady friends, the doctor said had ilceration of womb, and she has, I believe, used twelve bottles of 'Favorite Prescription and is now in the best of health, after trying the home docto* quite a while. So your medicine will sell itself. I have great laith in Dr. Pierce's medicines, and will always speak a good word for them." Fremont Said to Have Been Chartered by Stephenson and Associates. MENOMINEE, MICH.It is reported in ma rine circles at Chicago and Milwaukee that the company which is to be organized to tun a line Kfc*v^ Advicein strangeHands people of wealth tell you, in the tone of wise men teach ing a refractory scholar, that you ought to do as they do. But fortunately the American people think for themselves. They do not like to be dictated to, and prefer to think out a problem with their own brains rather than accept somebody's theories. Be a true American and do not permit a physician or an editorwho are perhaps prejudiced for selfish reasons-to per- suade you that in order to get a cure for your ills you must go to a dootor, perhaps pay $2.00 for a prescription in Latin that few can read or understand, and take it to a drug store and pay 75 cents for a bottle of medicine which will last about a week. Further- more, nine times out of ten the prescription calls for alcohol as a medium for dissolving the drugs. Now, the level-headed American woman who isn't over-burdened with wealth, when she is sick, when she has periods of pain and distress, knows what her needs are, knows that a prescription which was originally put up by a physician of eminence for just such cases, a specialist in woman's diseases, will {*ive her the required strength and benefit. Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription has been sold for the past thirty- eight years in larger quantities than any other prescription for woman's ills. Women who have used this prescription have gotten ell. It does not contain alcohol, or any dangerous drugs, and is guaranteed perfectly harmless to the most delicate system. It is scientifically compounded from active principles, extracted from -he roots of the most valuable medicinal plants, and has been found most efficient in making weak women strong and sick women well. Follow the experience of otherswrite to Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Insti- tute, at Buffalo, N. Y. Give a description of your case and he will tell you frankly and truthfully whether your case is one for which his "Favorite Prescription" can be recommended or not.
