The regulation stereotyped methods of treatment so detest able to modest women are as a rule abso lutely useless. It it not safe to trust to the advice or medicine of an uneducated nurse or any incompetent, unscientific person.! But what can a woman do? If any woman who finds herself asking this despairing question, will write stating her case carefully to Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., who is a skilled, educated expert in this special class of diseases, he will send her free of charge sound profes sional advice by which her trouble may be speedily relieved and if curable perma nently cured Thousands of women whom doctors coult not help, have been com pletely cured by Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre* scription, the most marvelously successful specific for "female complaints" ever in vented.
