It fans never once given us. umler free

of this ratio and up to 1874, there were

ELECTRICITY IS KING

Corner Washington Avenue and
The late ROBERT BARTHOLOW PRO
FESSOR of MATERIA MEDICA, GEN
ERAL THERAPEUTICS and HYGIENE
of JEFFERSON MEDICAL COLLEGE
of Philadelphia, said in his last work on
medloal electricity: "The. time Is not fur
off when electricity for medical use will
take the place of many drugs with the
same phenomenal success that has marked
the progress of this. science In the moving
of cars lighting of streets and houses and
for general motive power." It was in 17SU
that OALVANl discovered the action
of galvanism on the nerves by experiment
ing on a frog. For 106 years galvanism has
continued to grow In prominence as a cure
for disease.
LET IT BE THOROUGHLY UNDER
STOOD that Dr. Oreen Is a graduate In
medicine and pharmacy, he has prescribed
for thousands of patients who have never
had an application of electricity, but ex
perience and study has convinced him, as
ft has Marton, Rockwell, Mnssey and oth
ers of prominence that electricity is the
KING OF MEDICAL REMEDIES. Bear
In mind that proper electrical treatment,
with first-class appliances, Is NOT PAIN

Ettvater Day and Night Open from a. Bb I
At first thonrht
it seems imsossi-
ble that any hu
man being should
wilfully embrace
aeatn. Yet tnou
sands of women
daily court the
grim - visaged
monster. Some
do so through ig
norance and others
throuch wilful
neglect. The woman who neglects to look
after the health of the organs most essential
to her womanhood ignorantly or wilfully
courts death, and death in a slow and ago
nizing form. Ills of this description render
a woman's life a daily burden, and approach
ing motherhood a menace of the grave.
An infallible cure for all weakness and dis
ease of the delicate organs that make wife
hood and motherhood possible is found in
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, It acts
directly and only on these organs. It pre
pares the maid for wifehood and the wife
for motherhood. It does away with the
usual discomforts of the period preceding
motherhood. It insures a healthy baby and
makes parturition easy and comparatively
painless. Thousands of women have testi
fied to its wender-working virtues. Get it
at the druegists and refuse all substitutes.
There is nothing "just the same " or "just
as good. " The druggist who tells you there
is, is either mistaken or dishonest.
" I am very thankful to you indeed for what
Dr. Pierce'a Fnvorite Prescription has done for
me," write Mrs. Etta E. Smith, of Grenola, Elk
Co., Kansas. " About a month before I was con
fined I had such pains I could stand up only a
little while at a time. I could not rest at night
at all, nor at any other time. I could scarcely cat
.anything at all. I began taking Dr. Pierce's Fa
'vorite Prescription and after the second dose I
felt better. From then until I was sick, I carried
nearly all the water that was used, up a long hill,
ami worked In the garden every day. besides my
other work, aitU did not feel at all bad. When
the baby was born the doctor and the women
who were with me said I had a very easy time.
Tiie women said I had nn easier time than any
one thev ever saw for the first time. The baby
is very healthy and growing right along. I got
up when she was five days old and have been up
ever since. Alter two da'vs I brtrun my own work
in the garden, and felt stout and healthy. The
baby is now a month old."
In nine cases out of ten sickness is caused
bv constipation. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pel
lets are a sure, speedy and safe cure for con
stipation. One little "Pellet" is a gentle
laxative, and two a mild cathartic. They
never gripe. Druggists sell them.
