One testimonial; shows the -heedlessness of an operation and the two others its uselessness in certain forms of womanly disease. - Is always a woman's dread though often a doctor's aeiignt. mere is no question but that enthusiasm for surgery leads to the advice of an oneration many times, when the operation is not only need less but will prove absolutely unbenefieial. This proposition IS supported, bv medical testimonv and emphasized by the experience of the women whose statements are given below. ' The first of these statements is the more remarkable in that it comes from a woman physician. She suffered for three years. y was Ions: under treatment, and then submit ted to the surgeon's knife, absolutely without bene fit. ''Then a friend advised a trial of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, and of it the erateful writer .says: "I have full knowledge of its properties and its mnveria ara70 one trom the brink of ihe trrdve. Never in my profession have I seen such a miracle worket in the form of medicine." "I O WE MY LIFE TO THA T WON' DERFUL PRESCRIPTION' " "It is with extreme oleasure that I make known to vou my rapid recovery from a long illness as a result of a com plication of orjranic diseases, the tirincitial nnp hinr nr.rijn and uterine inflammation," writes Grace M. Di Marzo, M. D. of Ardwick, ! Prince George Co.. Md. It is a pleasure to recommend Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription as the best medicine I have ever taken for the diseases in question. I have full knowledge of its properties and its nowers to draw one from the brink of the grave. Such has been my case. ior tnree years 1 am not experience one well day. - I was first under treatment, then the surgeon's knife, and through complete disgust I gave ur both. and. actine under advice of -a friend, I took Dr. Pierce's medicine with patience. Now, a. owe my iu to mat wonnertui iTescnption ' of his, and I cannot recommend it too highly. Never in my profession have I seen such a ' miracle-worker ' in the form of medicine. "The poor invalids who are throwine awav dollars in nain- relief .medicines, morphine, laudanum, etc, bad better turn to Dr. Pierce's remedies, as, while he can remove the pain witliout thef administration of anodynes, he can more easily remove the cause." , Even if there were but one such testimonial to the remarkable cure of women's diseases by "Favorite Prescription, " it would be an encouragement to give it a trial. But the cures effected by this remarkable medicine for women are legion in number and their scope covers every form of womanly disease which is curable by the Use of medicine. Of "Favorite Prescription " it can be truthfully affirmed "that it always helps and almost always 'cures. Let anv suffering woman who reads these statements, ask herself -Is not such a remedy worth a trial? mese three cures are representative. Behind them are i half a million other cures. The record shows that ninety-eight in every hundred women who have used Dr. Pierce's medicines have been perfectly and permanently cured. . Only two women ra each aundred fail of complete cure. But even these report great benefit and improved health. .Are you one of the ninety-eight who can be com pletely cured, or one of the two who can be greatly helped : but not entirely healed?, A fair trial of "Favorite Prescription will put the question for ever at rest. - , . TWO OPERATIONS WITHOUT, RELIEF. " r was troubled with female weakness for eight years, and suffered more than I can tell," writes Mrs. Gust. Moser, of Ovando, Deerlodge County, Mont.,, "My, disposition was affected to such an extent, that to' sav a pleasant word to .anyone was almost an impossibility: I had two operations penormeu Dy one ot the most skilled surgeons of the West, but did hot tret relief. Then, aralnsf niVdortor'a siriet orders, I commenced taking ET. Pierce's ' Favorite Prescrip tion and ' Golden Medical Discovery, and also followed the advice given in the 'Common Sense Medical Adviser. I continued this treatment for three months; 'and" t-day am . t. A-1 , , ,. . m ucaiuiy anu wen as a woman can De, 1 cannot thank Dr. Pierce enough for his kind letters to me. ; Such testimony cannot be read without the thought, w How much suffering might have been saved had Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription lieen tried first instead "of last." But would the timely use of "Favorite Prescription " have effectecl'a cure ? That question is besfanswered by the testimonial which follows. Here is a case in which the woman was " a' perfect physical tv'rcrk" and "suffered viost excruciating paw," lne attending physician ad vised an'operation. But the husband drpaded the knife and prevailed on his wife to i try f Favorite Prescription." The result was the ' Usual one a . . . . . . -v , - jjerieci ana permanent cure.
