Treating the Wrong Disease.
Mmy times Women call upon their family physicians, one witlr dyspepsia, another with palpitation, another with trouble of the breast, another with pain here and there, and in this way they all present alike to themselves and their easy-going and indifferent doctors, separate and distinct diseases, for which he prescribes his pills and potions, assuming them to be such, when, in reality, they are all symptoms caused by some uterine’disorder; and while they are thus only able perhaps to palliate for a time., they are ignorant of the cause, and encourage their practice until large bills are made, when the suffering patients are no better in the end, but probably worse for the delay,—treatment, and other complications made, and which a proper medicine directed to the cause would have entirely removed, thereby instituting health and comfort instead of prolonged misery. From Miss Lorinda E. St, Clair, Shade, Athens Co., O , Oct. 14th, 1872: “Dr. 11. V. Pierec, Buffalo, N. Y.—Your Fa-vorite-Erescription is working almost like -a miracle on me. lam better already than I have been for over two years;” From Ella A. Sciiateb, Zanesville, Ind.? Aug 3, 1872: “Dr... Pierce—l received the mtifficine you sent me and began using it immediately. As a result of the treatment I feel better than I have for three years,” From Mrs. John K. llamilin, Odell, 111., Mar. 19, 1872: i“Dr. Fierce—The Favorite Proscription has done me good, which I am very thankful for.” On the death of one of England’s most eminent physicians, all bis effects were sold by auetiou, and among other things was a sealed packet, marked “Advice to Physicians,” which brought a great price. The purchaser on opening the packet, read as follows: “Keep the head cool, the bow-els open and the feet warm.” If physic is necessary, use/'arsons’ Purgative Pills; they are the most scientifically prepared pill that lias appeared in the last hundred years.
