FRIGHTENED !
Tho Agony Endured by
Nervous Women.
" My nerves arc all unstrung " is the
expressive way in which it woman is
npt to describe a condition of extreme
tieruiusness. The figurative expression
"unstrung;" may Ik; unscientific but it
wtlicticnlly suggests the grand harp of
the nervous system, strung and keyed
for harmonies ny its Maker, novr become
so uustrug thnt'it gives out nothing hut
jarring discords. Nervous people nrrely
receive the sympathy which is their due.
The dropping of a book which causes
tile nervous woman to start, or tltc slam
ming of a door which causes her to
scream, arc sounds which do not jar the
nerves of a healthy jierson. To
the nervous woman such sud
den touiiils are like a blow in
the face und tliev cause intense
suffering. The extent of this
Buffering may be gathered from Mrs.
Nelson' s experience told in the letter
given below. She says, " teas so nerv
ous (hut the least thing would stalle me
almost into convulsions." Such a con
dition of nervousness generally indicates
womanly diseases. It is useless to nt
tempt to cure nervousness by the use. of
narcotics.
NAUCOTICS ARK IllUDI.Y
for the nervous woman whose need is
not to make the nerves sleep but to
make them strong, not to numb them
but to nourish them. The best medi
cine for nervous women is Dr. I'icrcc's
Tavoritc Prescription. It cures nervous
ness because it cures the causes which
are behind nervousness. It establishes
regularity, dries the drains which under
mine the health nnd strength, heals
inflammation nnd ulceration and cures
female weakness. It ntnkes weak women
strong and bick women well.
Dr. I'icrcc's medicines arc the best I
have ever used," writes Mrs. C. Nelson,
of Chemawa, Marion Co., Oregon. " My
health was badly run down when I con
sulted him by 'letter. My limbs were
coltl and my head hurt me continually.
I was so nervous that the least thing
would startle me almost into convul
sions. I had palpitation of the heart so
bad that I could scarcely walk, some
times. I felt utterly discouraged, but
two bottles of Dr. I'ierce's Favorite Pre
scription nnd one of 'Golden Medical
Discovery ' made a new woman out of
me. We are never without Dr. I'icrcc's
Pellets in the house."
Nothing is claimed for Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription but is claimed for
it bv the women who have been cured
by its use. llehind every claim is a
cure yes, a thousand cures. In fact,

"I would like to express my gtntitude

from your wonderful medicine, 1 Pavonte

"I was nil run down in health from
November until March could not work
but n short while without resting. Was
so nervous nt times that 1 could not even

what I ate tlid not went to do me much

what womkn ui:aii.
There is n sentence in
Mrs. Anderson's letter
which will strike a sym
pathetic chord in the breast
of every woman. She
writes of " Faorite Pre
scription." '' it is n Gtxl-scnd to weak
and sickly women, restor
good health without sub
jecting their weak netves
to the shock of an examina
tion," t VjV Women dread the in-

j, ' offensive examinations nnd

tut. uunw iun iuviii kli.il-
input i'nniilit .-ii tiwitntw
by many local physicians.
All these may generally be
nvoided by n consultation
bv letter with Dr. Pierce.
1 for which thcic is abso
lutely no charge. Sick ami
idling women nre invited to consult Dr.
Pierce, by letter, free. All corrctpond
ence is strictly private nnd the written
confidences of women are treated with
the same privacy observed by Di. Pierce
in verbal consultations with women nt
the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Insti
tute, Duffalo. N. Y. Address Dr. K. V.
Pierce, llniTalo, N. Y.
Ilecausc Dr. Pierce's offer is free it is
not be classed with those offers of "Jree
medical advice" made by men or women
who have neither the legal nor the pro
fessional right to practice medicine. If
they dared to put out their signs with
the title Doctor upon them, the law would
instantly deal with them. They tlon't
dare to do this, and yet, though -without
medical training, meilical knowledge or
medical experience, they cunningly offer
"ftee medical advice." The law enn't
touch that claim lccnusc nnyonc can
give free ml vice on any subject, but .1
woman knows that the advice of her
laundress is perfectly worthless ns to
the cutting and fitting of her gown.
In consulting with Dr. Pierce, women
not only consult with a real doctor, but
one who is a specialist in the treatment
nnd cure of diseases peculiar to women,
and who, assisted by his staff of nearly .1
score of physicians," has in n little more
than thirty yearn treated and cured hun
dreds of tliousmds of women.
WOMI5N Ni:m IT
Every woman needs -i copy of Doctor
Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser,
containing ioo3 large pages, which is
sent free on request of those who send
stamps to pay expense of mailing only.
Send 31 one-cent stamps if the cloth
Irauutl volume is desired, or only 21
stamps for the book in paper covers.
