IL.. k> i '.Vk.Il nv'Sle fascination .¿.out stories jf hautt.ed houses, in which the presence of an unseen and unearthly guest makes itself strongly felt. There may be a merry-making, a wedding or a christening, and while laughter echoes from the walls and happiness is at flood tide, a sudden chill tails on the heart. The flesh feels as if a cold wind blew upon it. There is a sensation as of some evil influence near, and a shiver shakes the shrinking body. Some such fear as this falls on many a woman in the very hey-day of her hap piness She has been so strong, so per fectly healthy that life has been a con tinual joy to her. Now some unaccus tomed feeling touches her. She shivers I •) '•»i/ JUNCTION CITY’S at the sensation and shrinks from a some thing which she fears, yet caunot under state. The apparitiou of disease has passed and thrown its cold shadow on her. DOGGED BY DISEASE. The steps of every woman are dogged by disease. And one may well shudder when the shadow of this evil presence falls across the life. Disease can steal the color from a woman's cheeks, the brightness from her eyes. It can make her life creep along on broken wing, sunless and songless. It can wither every flower of happiness in the garden of girlhood and blast every joy of wife or mother. It is doing such things as these cons', int1 y. The woman who does not suffer from womanly disease is the exception, not the rale'. The woman who does not know the meaning of periodic pai- headache, backache and female weakness, is a wonder to the majority of er sex. It is « g M thing for women thst though disc -e may grasp them it cannot hold them -■ ■'-.ey take rbe right means to regain the lost liberty of health. Hundreds of thousands of women who were once fast in tbe clutch of disease, bear witness that D-. Pierce's Favorite Prescription freed them from disease, and give them perfect and pertrauent health. "A little over a year ago I wrote tc you for advice,” says Mrs. Elizabeth J. ’You Fisher, of Diana, W. Va. ’ "V — advised — me to use Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip tion and 'Golden Medical Discovery,' which I did, and with the most happ- result. I was troubled with female weak ness and bearing-down pains. • Had i very bad pain nearly aU the time in mi left side nervousness end hwiveks Was so weak I could liaidly silk across my room. Could not sit up only just s little while at a time. My husband got me some of Dr. Pierce’s medicine and I began its use. Before I had taken two bottles I was able to help do my work. I used three bottles in all and it cured me. Now I do all my housework. It is the best medicine I ever used.” IT WnX CURB YOU TOO. If you are suffering from any form of womanly disease which medicine can cure, you can use "Favorite Prescrip tion ” with a practical certainty that you will be cured. It has cured many women for whom physicians had said no cure was possible, and many others who were told they could not be cured without an opera tion. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription makes weak women strong and sick women well. It estab lishes regularity, dries weakening drains, heals in flammation and ulceration, and cures female weakness. It is the best tonic and nervine for weak, run down women, tranquilizing the nerves, encouraging the appetite and inducing re-j freshing sleep. I "About two years ago II was feeling very bad, could! neither eat, sleep nor work ;| was very nervous and alii run-down," writes Miss] Alice Greely, of Westmore-| land, N. Hamp. "I had] taken Sarsaparilla and hadl medicine of different kinds! from my home doctor, but] it did me no good what-] ever. Finally, I wrote you] concerning my case and] you prescribed your medi-| cine«. I commenced talc-] ing Dr. Pierce's Favorite] Prescription and took six] bottles, also four of‘Golden] Medical Discovery' and] some of Dr. Pierce’s Pel lets; these medicines cured | me and made me well and strong. I am a new person to what I was before I commenced taking the medicine. Please accept my sincere thanks for bene fits I have derived from your medicine.” ARE YOU SICK? If you are you cannot do a better thing than take advantage of Dr. Pierce’s offer of free consultation, by letter. Miss’ Greely and Mrs. Fisher, with thotuand» of other women, date the beginning of their restored health with the date ol the dav thev wrote their first letter to Dr. R. V. Pierce. Sick women are invited to consult Dr.* Pierce, by letter, free.
