Il’s a Good Souno common sense policy

To use medicines only of KNOWN COMPOSITION, and which contain neither alcohol nor habit-form-ing drugs. It is foolish—often dangerous to do otherwise. The most intelligent people, and many or the most successful, conscientious physicians, follow this judicious course of action. The leading medical authorities, of all schools of medicine, endorse the ingredients composing Dr. Piercers medicines. These are plainly printed on wrappers and attested under oath. There’s no secrecy; an open publicity, square-deal policy is followed by the makers. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription THE ONE REMEDY for woman’s ailments, sold by druggists, devised and gotten up by a regularly graduated physician of vast experience in treating woman’s peculiar diseases and carefully adapted to work in harmony with her delicate organization, by an experienced and skilled specialist in her maladies. THE ONE REMEDY for woman’s ailments, sold by druggists, which contains neither alcohol (which to most women is the rankest poison) or other injurious or habitforming drugs. THE ONE REMEDY for women, the composition of which is so perfect and good that

its makers are not afraid to print its every ingredient, in plain English on its outside bottle-wrapper, and attest the correctness of the same under oath. We have a profound desire to avoid all offense to the most delicate sensitiveness of modest women, for whom we entertain the most sincere respect and admiration. We shall not, therefore, particularize here concerning the symptoms and peculiar ailments incident to the sex for which Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription has for more than 40 years proven such a boon. We cannot, however, do a better service to the afflicted of the gentler sex than to refer them to Dr. Pierce’s Common Sense Medical Adviser, a great family doctor book of Iwu pages, bound in cloth and given atvay gratii, or sent, post-paid, on receipt of 31 one-cent stamps—to c ° ve J cost ° , “el'cate ailments and matters about which every woman, whether young or old, single or married, shou u w 1C t cir sense q delicacy makes them hesitate to ask even the family physician about, are made plain in this great nook. • Address: World’s Dispensary Medical Association, R.
