Every letter of this sort has the most careful consideration and la regarded as sacredly con6dential. Many sensitively modest women write fully to Dr. Pierce what they would shrink from telling to their local physician. The local physician is pretty sure to say that he cannot do anything without "an examination." Dr. Pieree holds that these distasteful examinations are fenerally need less, and that no woman, except in rare cases, Dr. Pierce a treatment will cure you rifht in tbe privacy of your own home. His "Favorite Prescription" has cored hundred of thousands, some of them the worst of cases. It is the only medicine of its kind that is tbe product of a regularly graduated physician. The only one food enoufh that its makers dare to print its every ingredient on its outside wrapper. There's no seorecy. It will bear examine tron. No alcohol and no habit-forming drugs are found in it. Some unscrup ulous medicine dealers may offer you a substitute. Don't take it. Don't trifle with your health.
