    CHRONIC NASAL CATARRH is a disease so common, that hawking, blowing and expectorating meet us at every turn. Few diseases are less understood, or more unskillfuiiy treated by physicians. SYMPTOMS.— Frequent headache, lassitude, lack of am- ||§£lsr\ bition or energy; discharge fali- \ ing into the throat, sometimes I [ profuse, watery, acrid, thick and HhUsa \ tenacious, mucous, purulent, I offensive, etc.; in others a drv- ness; watery, weak or inflamed eyes; obstruction of nasal pass- ages, ringing in ears, deafness, hawking and coughing to clear the head and throat, ulcerations, death and decay of bones, scabs from ulcers, voice altered, nasal twang, offensive breath, impaired or total deprivation of senses of smell, taste, and hearing, dizziness, mental depression, loss of appetite, indigestion, dyspepsia, enlarged tonsils and sometimes tick¬ ling cough. All the above symptoms are common to the disease in some of its stages or complications, yet thousands of cases annually terminate in serious throat and lung affections, and end in the grave, without even having manifested one-third of the symptoms above enumerated. As a local appli¬ cation for healing the diseased condition in the head DR. SAGE’S CATARRH REMEDY is very efficient. It is mild and pleasant to use, producing no smarting or pain. It is guaran¬ teed to contain no harmful, poi¬ sonous, or habit-forming, drugs. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis¬ covery should be taken to cor¬ rect the blood— which is always at fault in these cases—and to act specifically upon the diseased glands and lining membrane of the nose. The Catarrh Remedy fluid should be used ivarm and, preferably, with Dr. Pierce, s Nasal Douche—by which it can be perfectly applied to all the affect¬ ed passages. Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy promptly subdues acute attacks of “ cold in the head,” which would otherwise often result in Chronic Catarrh. Its cleansing, antiseptic, soothing, and healing prop¬ erties are very pronounced. Sold by chemists. TRADE MARK. A CASE OF NASAL CATARRH, Cured by Sage's Catarrh Remedy. 25, Oxford Street, Grantham.

''’burs truly, ij CHRONIC CATARRH. 26, Grafton Street, Blackpool. World’s Dispensary Medical Association, 3, New Oxford Street, London, W.

I advise all who suffer from this disease to try your invaluable medicines. Wishing you every success. Yours faithfully, JOHN J. TERRY. John J. Terry, Esq. WHEN BABY COMES, Will It Be a Burden or a Blessing? -o- The answer to that question depends chiefly on the condition of the mother. If she is weak and nervous, shrinking from the coming trial the child she bears will be feeble and fretful. It will be a burden, even for love to bear. But if she is strong of body and cheerful of mind the mother will look forward to the baby’s advent with happy anticipation. Her child will share her physical'health and mental cheerfulness, and come into the home as a blessing, its presence in¬ creasing every joy and lessening every sorrow. “A TRUE MOTHER’S FRIEND” is a name grateful women have given to Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, because it has given to many a mother help in her hour of need and happiness in bringing a healthy child into the world. The beneficial effects following the use of “Favorite Prescription” are truly won¬ derful. It makes childbirth easy and practically painless by preparing the system for parturition. It tones up the nervous system. Strengthened by it the mother awaits her hour in comfort, and with a cheerful confidence. The period of con¬ finement is also greatly shortened, the mother strengthened and built up, and an abundant se¬ cretion of nourishment for the child promoted. We have received the heartfelt praise of hun¬ dreds of mothers for the inestimable benefits thus conferred. In cases of THREATENED MISCARRIAGE, or when it is feared from having before oc¬ curred, the “Favorite Prescription,” taken in small doses for a considerable time, will for¬ tify the system against such a calamity. IN MORNING SICKNESS, or nausea arising from pregnancy, the “Favor¬ ite Prescription ” should be taken in doses of a teaspoonful three or four times a day. It will seldom fail to give complete relief. NERVOUS DISEASES. In all cases of nervous exhaustion, nervous prostration, or debility, in either sex, insomnia or inability to sleep, neuralgia, and spasms, or convulsions, the “Favorite Prescription” is in¬ valuable. In all protracted, or chronic, diseases, perse¬ verance in the use of treatment is necessary, no matter how good the medicine employed. Do not expect entire relief from maladies that have existed for months in as many days. Give “ Fa¬ vorite Prescription” a fair and reasonable trial and it will not disappoint you. FREE CONSULTATION. An invitation is extended by Dr. Pierce to every sick and ailing woman to consult him by letter. There is absolutely no charge or fee for this consultation. Every letter is carefully con¬ sidered, fully answered, and its statements held as strictly private and sacredly confidential. The escape which this offers from the disagree¬ able questionings, indelicate examinations and local treatments, generally 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 considera¬ tion and a fatherly, and sympathetic answer is promptly returned, securely sealed in a plain envelope. RELIABLE DEALERS recommend “ Favorite Prescription.” With tricky ones, something else that pays them bet¬ ter will probably be urged upon you as “just as good.” Perhaps it is, for them, but it can’t be for you. Some savings may be made by pur¬ chasing our medicines in half-dozen quantities. If you are convinced that the “ Favorite Pre¬ scription” is the medicine you need, do not be cajoled into accepting something else. The at¬ tempt to induce you to do so is an insult to your intelligence. Turn your back on the one who offers the affront. A BEAUTIFUL BABY. East End, Northleigh, Nr. Witney, Oxon. World’s Dispensary Medical Association, 3, New Oxford Street. London, W. C.: Gentlemen—I have delayed answering- your kind inquiry about my health after taking your medi¬ cines, but am at last trying to do so. I truly be¬ lieve I have to thank you for benefit received from your medicines, the “Favorite Prescrip¬ tion,” “Golden Medical Discovery’’ and free use of the “Pleasant Pellets” for a good time at my confinement, and a beautiful, fat baby girl, after being so many years delicate myself. My husband heard Dr. Pierce lecture in Garritsville, O., about thirty years ago, and remembers him curing a blacksmith’s wife there whom the doctors had given up. We tell every one about your medi¬ cines, and those who have tried them at our recom¬ mendation have told us they have been benefited. (Mrs.) I am, yours truly, ^2 J(9^ CHILDBIRTH MADE EASY, By the use of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescri ption. Holly Cottages, Derby Lane, Derby. World’s Dispensary Medical Association, 3, New Oxford Street, London, W. C. : Dear Sirs—I am pleased to tell you of the benefit I have derived from the use of Dr. Pierce’s Fa¬ vorite Prescription. In reading one of your small books I came across Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre¬ scription, and as I was pregnant at the time, I made up my mind to give It a trial, and I must cer¬ tainly say I gained benefit from it. I had four bot¬ tles, and on November 22nd. gave birth to a son, a fine healthy looking boy. I had as good a time as anyone could wish to have, as my labour was simply nothing. I felt so strong and well whilst pregnant, I certainly be¬ lieve it was due to my having taken the Fa¬ vorite Prescription,” as before I used to feel I had no life in me. My husband is also taking your Pleasant Pel¬ lets” ahd he finds nothing to compare with them for headache and biliousness, which he suffers from a great deal. We both have great faith in your medicines, and wish you every success in your work. You can use this letter as you wish. Yours truly, Mrs. E. G. MILLINGTON. PRICE=LLST OF DR.

Such is the success attending our system of determining the nature of chronic diseases with¬ out seeing the patient, that it is only in very- rare and complicated cases, or in those of a sur¬ gical character, that we require a personal ex¬ amination, of those consulting us. But as our practice annually embraces the treatment of a very large number of cases of the most compli¬ cated and inveterate forms of chronic affections, which have resisted the treatment of other phy¬ sicians and surgeons, we have, therefore, at all times a large number of patients, coming from a distance, and it is best for those intending to call for consultation, to notify us in advance, that we can appoint a time and save all delay. IF YOU DESIRE TO CONSULT US, write out a complete history of your case and send it to us by post. If this be not sufficient to enable us to get a complete and accurate idea of your case, we will instruct you in our methods of attaining such perfect knowledge of cases without personally examining them, as will en¬ able you to place all necessary facts before us. We never prescribe until we are sure we have ascertained the real disease from which our patient is suffering. We make no charge for consultation, either in person or by correspond¬ ence, and all communications are considered sacredly confidential. All correspondence should be addressed to World’s Dispensary Medical Association, No. 3, New Oxford St., LONDON, W. C. THE F’EOFI-.E’S Common gense pdical TMviser IN PLAIN ENGLISH; or MEDICINE SIMPLIFIED. By R. V. PIERCE, M. D Chief of the Staff of Consulting Physicians to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute. Hewiy Revised and Greatly Enlarged Edition! OVER Copies Issued ! Contains over 1000 Large liiuo. Pastes, over 700 Wood-Cuts, Half Tone and Colonred Plates. Itound In Extra French Muslin, Embossed Covers, and is tlie most Complete as well as the Cheapest medical work, ever published in this or any other country. Guaranteed to be a better and more compre¬ hensive medical book for general reading than any other work selling for twice its price. It contains more than 200 prescriptions for acute and chronic dis¬ eases; it gives ex¬ plicit directions for self-treatmen t of all diseases that can be suc- cessfully and safely managed in that way. Contains careful directions bow to manage in all cases of accidents and emergencies, such as Drown¬ ing, Scalds and Burns, Fainting, Dangerous Bleed¬ ing f rom W ounds, Poisoning, Bites, and Stings from Venomous Snakes, etc. Con¬ tains important information for the young and old, both male and female, single and married, not heretofore published for the non-professional reader. Men and Women are many times tempted to ask their family physi¬ cians questions on delicate matters, but are de¬ terred from so doing from their sense of modesty. This work answers just such questions so fully and plainly as to leave no one in doubt. Anatomy, Physiology, Hygiene, the Human Temperaments, The Origin and Transmission of Life, are treated in an original and comprehen¬ sive manner in harmony with the latest scien¬ tific discoveries. The chapter on Nursing the sick, a subject on which everyone should be informed, is alone worth the price of the book. The chapters de¬ voted to the subjects of Reproduction, Preven¬ tion of Conception or Pregnancy, Abortion or Miscarriage, Impediments to Marriage, Abuse of the Reproductive Organs, and the terrible dis¬ eases that arise therefrom, should be read by ail. The chapters on Medicinal Plants and Herbs, illustrated with numerous wood-cuts, as well as those treating on all acute and chronic diseases, and giving them best-known remedies, can be re¬ lied upon, since the remedies recommended have all been well tried in an extensive practice. As a book of ready reference, aiid for those1 not within easy reach of professional aid at crit-. ical times, and in cases of emergency or danger¬ ous accidents, it is invaluable. Many long hours of mental anxiety and bodily suffering have been saved by this work. The book will pay for itself in a very short time in doctors’ bills saved. It is thoroughly practical, and intended for ev¬ ery-day use. The price of the above work, in cloth binding, is Is. 3d.; in strong flexible paper covers, 10d. Sent to any address, post-paid, on receipt of price. Address: World’s Dispensary Medical Association, No 3, New Oxford Street, LONDON, W. 0,
