NO ALCOHOL NO NARCOTICS

NO POISONS Zoa-Phora Does Not Now and Never Did Contain Poisonous Drugs, Nor Any That Will Cause the Drag Habit. MADE FOR WOMEN. No Higher or Better Proof of tUe Merit ot a Medicine Caa Be Give. Thau Fouad Here. "When Dr. Pengelly first compounded Zoa-Phora. he was very careful in his selection of the ingredients to be used. Having in mind at all times the best good of his patients, he determined to use no drug that would be in any way injurious to woman's delicate organism. His years of experience in treating all forms of womanly weakness and disease, enabled him to determine just the remedies needed. Can von wonder therefore, that Zoa-Phora is so successful? No narcotics, nor any drug that will cause what is commonlv known as the drug habit" are used in compound ing Zoa-Phora. Formerlv a small amount of alcohol was used in its preparations, but now even that lias been eliminated leaving the valuable medicinal ingredients in the preparation just as thev have alwavs been. The medicines used In making ZoaPfcora are recosrnized bv the medical profession everywhere as the best known remedies for the diseases and ailments of women. The United States Dispensatory and other medical books of equal prominence, say, in regard to them as follows: "regulates the menstrual function," "employed by physicians in the treatment of uterine diseases," "has met wtih favor in the treatment of periodical sick-headache." "recommended In debilitated conditions, attended with loss of appetite," "has extraordinary power to control capil lary circulation and removo congestion," "recommended tor nervous, hysterical women, with irregular spasmodic pains during childbirth; pains in the uterus." "This is one of the most useful remedies we have for the pre vention of premature labor in child birth, or Irregular after-pains." "especially adapted for females who are af flicted with diseases of the ovaries or uterus," etc., etc. Many other state ments of recommendation for the these remedies appear in the most reliable physicians' books. It is not this proof sufficient to. con vince you that Zoa-Phora is the most dependable and absolutely genuine medicine for woman's use that can be found? When you add to the statements of these eminent medical authorities, the experience of Dr. Pengelly In his more than twenty years' use of Zoa-Phora in private practice, and again add the testimony of the multitudes of women in every state in the Union who voluntarily write words of praise for this wonderful "woman's friend," the proof positive of the superior merit of Zoa-Phora la indisputable. No better, stronger or more satisfactory evidence could possibly bo produced, and none from any higher authority regarding a medicine ex ists anywhere. You need not send away for ZoaPhora. Your druggist will supply you with the medicine already prepared, and compounded in just the right proportions, put up in sealed, sterilized, one dollar bottles. Each package contains full and complete instructions and directions for using the medicine, also a copy of "Dr. Pengelly's Advice to Women," a booklet containing a lot of interesting and Instructive In formation for women.
