Women Who Faint.
A MODEM APPLICATION OF THE
FAMOUS EPIGRAM, "FRAILTY,
THY NAME IS WOMAN."
It is a curious fact that the word
faint Is derived from a French word
meaning to pretend. The word feint,
meaning a deceptive movement, as by
the boxer or swordsman, has the same
derivation. So that In liucqnsctous
ness was merely ono who feigned Ill
ness, lint there Is no feigning In thnt
sudden failure of the vital power which
blanches the cheek, closes the eyes,
Seems to stop the breath and sends the
woman an Inert mass upon the counter
at which she Is shopping. Fainting
Is veiy real for the stlffeier who can
not go to ball or theater without this
liability to sudden unconsciousness,
mennclng her enjoyment and safety
Why do women faint? Women them
selves would In this ndvunced age of
progress be the first to deny the charge
of physical frailty. They run and tow,
they sulm nnd ride, they golf and
shoot side by side with men. And yet
they faint. You rarely hear of a man's
fainting. Such a thing Is so uncom
mon ns to partake of the nature ot u
phenomenon Why don't men faint '
Why can a weak fi.imed, undersized
man go through life without fainting,
when a splendid woman, a Diana for
beauty and coinage, must know the
humiliation of this sudden lapse of
consciousness? Theiels

to follow which will bilng us safely
out fiom the labyrinth of discussion.
Theie nie certain times when a wom

at other times. And those times will
be found to be the times when tho
womanly nature and functions nie most
dominant. The conclusion Is It resis
tible. As a general pioposltlon a wo
man faints because the delicate organ"
by which she Is differentiated from
biother or husband aie affected by ells
ease. Woman Is creation's master
piece, the last and fairest work of the
Creatoi. To her aie given Jojs and
sonow which no man may know nnd
no man can share. To her also Is glv
ven a capacity for suffering beyond the
knowledge of men The great ciues
tlon is. To what extent Is this suffer
ing necessary Has woman been made
so finely only thnt she may know the
leilnement of suffeilng" The very
thought Is an outrage on Natuie. The
"new woman" will know nothing of
the suffeilng of the woman of the past
She will "run and not be weniv" She
will "walk and not faint" Let her
cut nwav at once and forever the
thought that she Is under Nature's
paitlcular ban and must suffer be
cause she is a woman Let her lele
gate that superstitutlon to the limbo
wheie all the old superstitions that
left her a slave have long been icle
gated. Let her believe that there is n
way to sound physical health which
those that seek will surelv llnd.
THE RIGHT WAY
to escape the physical bondage of weak
ness is, to follow the guidance of other
women who havo found a way of es
cape from tho suffeilngs so long es
teemed Insepniable fiom the feminine
nature.
"For seven jeais I wns confined to
bed most of the time," wtltes Mrs. M.
P. Davis, of Honakei, Russell Co, Vn
"I had four doctois, and they said I
could not be cuied. I had ulceration
of womb and female weakness so I
could not stand on my feet but a short
time; had beailngdown sensation, pain
In the small of my back. My stomach
and bowels, also logs and feet, would
swell, and everything I ate huit me.
I could not sleep well, was so shot t of
bieath I could not He down at night;
had soieness nnd tenderness over
womb, tioubled with palpitation of
heart, and suffered with headache all
the time. I would get blind and have
fainting spells, had dark lings mound
my eyes and my eyes seemed bloodshot;
suffeied from painful menstruation .
could not He on my left side. I would
have numb spells, pains around my
heart every morning, my lungs huit
me a great deal and my shouldei s,
too.. I would spit up blood nt times,
memory wns pooi, hearing was bad,
hands and feet wete cold nil the time,
and I had chills and night-sweats.
After the doctois said I could not be
cuied I got hold of ono of Di. Pierce'
Memorandum Hooks and lead about
how he had cuied so many patients
afflicted like I was, so 1 thought his
medicine might help me. I wiote to
Dr. Pleice for ndilce, nnd he sent me
a veiy encouraging letter In reply, nd
visinr me to take his -Fuvotlte In
scription' and 'Golden Medical DIs
coveiy' and his 'Pleasant Pellets.' I
got two bottles and used these and felt
much better. I sent nnd got six bot
tles moie After I hud used four bot
tles I broke out all over In sores I
then quit taking the medicine and
wrote to Dr. Pierce, and he advised
me to still keep on taking his medi
cine 1 dbl so and soon found It to
be a great medicine, I can now woil;
all dav and not feel tiled at night I
can sleep all night and can eat any
thing I want at nn time I can walk
and go anvwhere I please. I teel bet
ter than I ever did Can do all kinds
of woik In the house and outdoors,
too. I am sony I did not take Di
Pleice's medicine when I 111 Ht began
to have poor health. I could have
saved what I paid to humbugs My
friends say that I do not look Uko the
same woman. When I commenced
your medicine I only weighed one mil
died pounds. Now I wciii ono hun-
-g -f'fK --1
dred and forty. I take gieat pleasure!
In recommending your remedies te
suffeilng women, I thank you a thou
and times for your good medicine and
your kind advice. I used four bottle
of the 'Golden Medical Discovery,
four of "Favorite Prescription nnJ
iwo vmis oi your 'rieusant l'oucis.'
The cure of Mrs Davis otters a fVili
example of what Dr Pierre's Favoilts
Prescription has done and Is doing to
make weak women strong. This Is
r.ot an exceptional case It Is not a
solltnrv case. In more than thirty
yeais of practice Dr R V Pierce, chlei
consulting physician to the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, ItuiTnlo,
N. Y. has treated and cured more than
half a million women Many of thes
I'xpeilenced yeius of stiffening. They
hnd siient large sums of money seek
lug a cine In vnln. Dortots gave them
up Yet Dr. Pleice's trentinciit cuied
them; made them happy wives ond
Joyful motheis.
"IT SEEMS TOO WONDERFUL."
some women write It Is wonderful
that such results should come to tlni
woninn who had given up all hope.
Rut fiom a medical point of view It
la not such a wondeiful thing that i
medicine pcifeeted In jenrs of experi
ence should do the one thing It was
made to do It seems wonderful when
the musk lun sits down at the plana
and bilngs forth hai monies undi earned

the piano, but only one hcte nnd theio
