    Hoffi. SSvery letter is carefully considered, fully answered, and its statements held as strictly private and sacredly confiden¬ tial. The escape which this offers from the disagreeable ques¬ tionings, indelicate examinations and local treatments, gener¬ ally so unnecessary and so offensive to the modest, sensitive woman, has led a vast army of ailing women to take the first step to health by opening a correspondence with Dr. Pierce. Write with perfect freedom, as every letter received is given careful consideration and a fatherly, and sympathetic answer is promptly returned, securely sealed in a plain envelope. BB NOT DECEIVED,—Designing men, through alluring and cunningly worded advertisements, constantly endeavor to work upon the feelings of sick and ailing women by inviting them to write to a woman (!) and secure a woman's sym- eathv.” It is well to remember that the best sympathy is to e had at home and not from strangers. The object of the sick is to get well, and however precious sympathy may be, it never yet cured a seriously afflicted woman. It is loudly proclaimed through the press that a woman can best understand a woman’s ailments,” and on this ground sick women are invited to «write to a woman ” and get the benefit of a woman’s advice.

Some saving may be made by purchasing our medicines in half-dozen quantities. It you are convinced that the Favorite Prescription ” is the medicine you need, do not be cajoled into accepting something else. The attempt to induce you to do so is an insult to your in¬ telligence. Turn your back on the one who offers the affront. A Wonderful Cure. “It is with great pleasure,” writes Mrs. Lily Heckart, of Bartlesville, Cherokee Nat., Ind. Ty., “that I add my own experience to that of the many you have cured. I was af¬ flicted and for one year I suffered more than tongue can ex¬ press. I was in bed nearly all of the time. Was scarcely able to work half of the time ; could not even dress my¬ self. God alone knows what I suffered. I had tailing of the womb so badly that at times I could not be turned in bed. I suffered from palpitation of the heart. I would often faint away and it seemed as if I never would recover; had sick headache nearly all the time, and also had St. Vitus’s dance. At the commencement of the monthly period the misery would be so great that I would be nearly crazy; this would last from twelve to twenty-four hours and I would suffer untold agony. When I would stand on my feet it seemed
