"TH7 WILL 11 BOHir I III- Thete are tens of thousands of women, submitting to conditions that involve dally martyrdom, a Hngetlnir, painful death, who press the thorn of suQcrlnir deeper into their hearts with the prayer 7l Thy Will be Done." To every such woman comes the mcaMfjc, you were made to live a healthy, happy life and to enjoy wifehood and motherhood by Him who "makcth the barren woman to keep house and become a Joyful mother of children." You nre being robbed of your birthright. Pleasure and happiness correspond to the duties of wifehood and the responsibilities of motherhood, just as surely as sweet scents correspond to the sense of smelling, sweet sounds to the sense of hearing, sw eet sights to the sense of seeing. It is God's will that you enjoy all the faculties and func tions of the body, and if In any chamber of this great house of the body, pain sits as a guest, it Is not by ri?ht but by usurpa tion. The place belongs to joy not pain. W1IV DO WOMr.V DO IT, why do they suffer and submit to suffering, accepting all their pain as a providential dispells ition ? It would seem to be because only about thirty women in every hundred are exempt from every form of female dis order, and the majority accept their con dition as the rule, and the healthy condi tion of the minority as the exception. And this is a serious mistake. Health should be the rule, disease the exception, and how ever in the past woman has had to endure suffering as the badge of her sex, such suf fering has never been necessary since Dr. R. V. Pierce, consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N.Y., has proven that out of every hundred cases of female disorders only three in each hundred failed to find a cure by using; Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Thirty year's experience in the treatment of female disorders, a record of over 250,000 cases treated, three per cent, only of which failed of complete cure, enables Dr. Pierce to sneak with the authotity of a master specialist when he affirms that his "Fa vorite Prescription" will cure practically every case of female weakness, irregu larity, displacement, ulceration, inflamma tion and every sympathetic result of such ailments Remember that this cure means something vastly more than to merely stop the suffering THE MEANING OP "CURE" is to be re established in sound, substantial health, to have elasticity of body and be cheerful of spirits To enjoy the cares of home as a recreation. No more the aching spine, the dull head, the sharp pain in the side, the specks before the eyes, the faint ness, dizziness, nausea and exhaustion Dut in their place a sound mind in a sound body the ideal condition of perfect health. DR. PIERCE'S FAVORITE MESCRIPTIOM will do alt this. It has done It in thousands of cases It will do It in almost every case in which it is honetlv tried But If the rtFaorite Pre scription" does not fully reallte the expecta tions of all those who use it, after a fair trial. Dr. Tierce tn Ites the mlient to write to him, at the above address there Is no fee. Dr. Pierce stands behind his "Prescription," and in the small per eentige of cases where some ariation from the ordinary conditions retards the action of the medicine, he is more than willing, he is anxious to gie to such cases the benefit of his thirty j ears of special study of woman's dis eases, n period which includes the successf.il treatment of a quarter of a mlllloa cases. Write in perfect confidence as tens 01 thousands of others hae done, knowing that every letter is sacredly pnate. There are questions that miny women would like to ask, if they could tpcak is under the seal of confession. There are things earier to write about than to speak about. Dr. Pierce stands in the prUelejed rela tion of confessor to thousands of women, who hav e confidence in his silence as In his skill their chickens. He decided to kill tho cat, and he picked It up, when It sank Its teeth In his hand. , The doctor was unable to shake oft the cat, and he called for assistance. Two neighbors, healing his cries, ran to tho house, and they forced open tho animal's Jaws. Dr. Helm has suffetcd Intense pain Mnce he was bitten, and fatal results are feared.
