Whiteiaw lteid addressed the grad

the girls some very sound advice,
which will bo heeded by the sensible
ones and disregarded by she others.
He warned them against the present
vicious conception of the sphere of edn
cated women which prompted them to
seek newspaper publicity and other
forms of notoriety. "When higher
ideals do return," he declared, "the
powerful influence of educated women
will surely array the best of their sex
against a social evil which has sudden
ly become too common to provoke sur
prise—the transformation of marriage
from the sacrament of God into a
thoughtless and headlong business or
social arrangement to lie dissolved al
most at pleasure ." Educated women,
lie said must assist in resisting this
"downward rush of the multitude. '

One of tho most common statement*
made in tho letters grateful women
write to Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y.,
is this: "I owe my life to Dr. Tierce."
These women have found themselves in
great danger. They have appealed
without avail to local physicintis. They
have counseled in vain with women
advisers. The best that had been done
for them was just to keep them afloat in
the sea of disease with strength visibly
failing, in the hope that the »i«n who
hail strength and skill to save them
might be found.
WOMAN'S AITKAJ. ANBWKRUD.
Hundreds of thousands of woman
have appealed to Dr. Pierce, for relief
from womanly ills and not one has ap
pealed in vain. The use of I)r. Pierce's
l'avorite Prescription supplemented by
the medical advice of I>r. I'ierce has
lieon the litcumt of cure to this vast army
of women suffering from diseases pecul
iar to the sex.
"I wish to tell you the benefit I re
ceived from usinj; your remedies,"
writes Mrs. Alice boncrant, of 261 W.
lfarrisou Street, Chicago, Ills. "Two
years ago I was taken with a severe pain
in the left yvarv and side. Tried several
different remedies, but nothing helped
tne. I got so lui'l I could scarcely walk
rffrn-.s the floor or do work of any kind.
One day an old neighbor lady came in
to see me, and told me to try I>r.
l'ierce's Favorite Prescription. She
*aid she knew it would help me, as it
had saved her life. Wlieu the doctors
had given her up ami said they could
do nothing for her she said she IK-JJ.III to
take Dr. l'ierce's Favorite Prescription
and it cured her. So 1 got a bottle of
the ' Favorite Prescription' ami one of
' Golden Medical Discovery,'and began
taking them. Before 1 had takeu one
liottle of each I was so much better I
could do nil my own work, and that is a
good deal, as I aui the mother of four
MII.Y1! children. Three lwjttles of the
'Favorite Prescription' and one of
•Golden Medical Inscovery' cured inc.
1 have not bccu &i<.k aiuce then- I think
mum by tho practical ex?
perience of Dr. Pierce. Of
the hundreds of
of women who have ap
pealed to Dr. Pierce for
counsel in connection with
his " Favorite Prescrip
tion," only two in every
hundred have failed of a
perfect and permanent
cure. Rut even this two
per cent, of incurables
have gratefully lecotiiu a
great improvement in their
condition; relief from pain
and a restoration to family
enjoyments.
No sick woman should
be discouraged by her con
dition, no matter how long
her ailment may
be, or how utterly all other
„ means and medicines have
failed to cure. The great«
er munher of cures effect
ed by " Favorite Prescrip
tion " are cures of chronic
and complicated diseases
which have baffled the
skill of local physicians
and proved intractable to
all other treatment.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
makes weak women strong and aick
women well. It establishes regularity,
dries disagreeable uud weakening drains,
heals inflammation and ulceration, ana
cures female weakness. It is the great
est preparative for maternity, giving
womanly health and strength and mak
ing baby's advent practically painlesa.
A CRIUT PRKK OFI'ltR.
kick women are invited to consult
Dr. Pierce, by letter, free. All corres
pondence is held in sacred confidence,
and womanly confidences are guarded
by strict professional privacy. Addreia
Dr. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
There is no similar offer of free con
sultation by letter or free medical advice,
which has liehind it an institution such
us the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical In
stitute, Huffalo, N. Y., to which for over
thirty years Dr. Pierce lias been chief
consulting physician, assisted by a med
ical staff of nearly a score of specialists
iu the treatment and cure of womanly
diseases.
" Favorite Prescription " contains no
alcohol, neither opium, cocaine, nor any
other narcotic. It is purely a vegetable
preparation and cannot disagree with
the weakest constitution.
Some dealers for the sake of the little
more profit paid by inferior prepara
tions, will try and sell the customer a
substitute for "Favorite Prescription"
as licing "just as good." "Just as
good" medicines do not have the cures
to their credit which make women hail
"Favorite Prescription" as a "Godsend
to women." Don t barter the substance
for the shadow.
IT w:u. SURPRISE YOU
to see the great medical work which l>r.
Pierce gives free to women. This great
work, the People's Common Sense Med

and 700 illustrations is sent free on re
