As chief consulting physician to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., assisted by his medical staff of nearly a score of physicians, Dr. Pierce has treated and cured hundreds of thousands of weak and sick women. The success of Dr. Pierce's treatment is proved by the fact that forty-nine women out of every fifty who have followed his advice have been perfectly and permanently cured, There i8 no similar offer of free medical advice which behind it a specialist of Dr. Pierce's skill and success, No s offer puts at the free service of women the entire facilities of a institution of national fame such as the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., with its medical staff of a score of physicians, every man a specialist The largest fee ever charged by a physician for consultation cannot buy a better or more valuable 1 opinion than Dr Pierce offers you free, All correspondence is held as strictly private and sacredly con fidential, and the written confidences of women are guarded by the same strict professional privacy observed by Dr. Pierce and his staff in personal consultations with women at the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N.
