The People's Common Sense Medical Adviser in Plain English Part 113

[Ill.u.s.tration: Mrs. Speer.]

_Gentlemen_--I was taken sick with the grip on the first day of January, 1892. I employed a doctor, until in May I was some better, but could not do any work. The Grip left me with a weakness, my head felt very badly and I would get so discouraged and despondent. It affected my back, hips, and legs, and made me miserable indeed. My stomach was very bad; it soured and burned after eating. My heart, also, gave me much distress by beating so fast and loud at times.

In May I commenced using Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription; took seven bottles of that, and then, by your advice, began taking Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. I took five bottles of that, making twelve bottles in all.

My niece lives with me, and she, also, took the "Favorite Prescription,"

which did her a great deal of good.

Yours respectfully, MRS. E.J. SPEER, North Barton, Tioga Co., N.Y.

"FEMALE WEAKNESS" PERMANENTLY CURED.

WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL a.s.sOCIATION, Buffalo, N.Y.:

[Ill.u.s.tration: Mrs. Ramsey.]

_Gentlemen_--My trouble was "female weakness" and womb disease. I suffered greatly for twelve years. Four years ago my health became so poor I was confined to my bed most of the time from May until September.

I was treated by our family physician but received no benefit; I then consulted Dr. R.V. Pierce, of Buffalo. Through his good advice I began using his "Favorite Prescription," having taken in all eight bottles of "Prescription" and two of his "Golden Medical Discovery." I am at present enjoying better health than I have for twelve years. As it is now three years since I quit using those medicines and I have no return of my old trouble. I consider myself permanently cured.

Yours truly, MRS. MOLLIE L. RAMSEY, Liberal, Barton County, Mo.

TORPID LIVER, SUPPRESSED MENSTRUATION.

WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL a.s.sOCIATION, Buffalo, N.Y.:

[Ill.u.s.tration: Mrs Fotzgerald.]

_Gentlemen_--I had suffered so much for years from "Liver Complaint"

that I did not care whether I got well or not, but my husband urged me to take your "Golden Medical Discovery." I had not had my courses for six months; after I had taken your medicine about two months, I was well.

When one of my daughters with a baby two weeks old was in so much pain that she could not rest day or night, I went to her as quickly as I could, and commenced giving her your "Favorite Prescription." The next morning the pains were all gone. She said, "oh, mother, I would have died if you had not come. I do feel so good." Your medicine makes people feel like they wanted to live. There is a woman at Verdi who had several children who died with consumption of the bowels and _chronic diarrhea_.

She had another one who was going the same way. The doctor said it was bound to die. I went there and gave it five drops of Dr. Pierce's Extract of Smart-Weed, and increased the dose every time its bowels moved, until I got to a half teaspoonful. The next morning the child was almost well. That woman says I saved her baby's life.

I could write a week and not tell half the good your medicines have done through my hands. Two weeks ago, a young man at my house was taken with _cholera morbus_. He thought he was surely going to die, but as quickly as I could get some hot water, I put hot applications on his stomach and bowels, and gave him a few doses of your Extract of Smart-Weed. He got well immediately.

SUPPRESSED MENSTRUATION AND NERVOUS DEBILITY.

WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL a.s.sOCIATION, Buffalo, N.Y.:

[Ill.u.s.tration: Mrs. Clark.]

_Dear Sirs_--My health is quite good, so I have been able to do all my own work, and I know Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is what helped me.

We never think of doing without Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets in the house. I give them to my children when they need anything of the kind, and they never fail to do good. Gratefully yours,

MRS. WARREN CLARK, Mount Pleasant, Isabella Co., Mich.

DISEASE OF WOMB.

WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL a.s.sOCIATION, Buffalo, N.Y.:

[Ill.u.s.tration: Mrs. Wilson.]

_Gentlemen_--I cannot say too much for Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. I feel it my duty to say to all women who are suffering from any disease of the womb that it is the best medicine on earth for them to use; I cannot praise it too highly for the good it did me. If any one doubts this, give them my name and address.

Respectfully, MRS. CORA S. WILSON, Carlisle, Sullivan Co., Ind.

"HER FAVORITE".

WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL a.s.sOCIATION, Buffalo, N.Y. :

[Ill.u.s.tration: Mrs. Collines.]

_Gentlemen_--Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is my favorite medicine.

I recommend it highly to my friends. Mrs. James Grant of Fort Fairfield, Maine, one year ago was a very sick woman. I told her what your medicine had done for me and others whom I know, and I think it raised her from the death-bed; her husband thinks it a miracle that she got better. My health at present is good.

Respectfully yours, MRS. GEORGE A. COLLINES, Maysville Centre, Aroostook Co., Maine.

WORDS OF PRAISE. UTERINE DISEASE.

DR. PIERCE, Buffalo, N.Y.:

[Ill.u.s.tration: Mrs. Pierce.]

_Dear Sir_--Years ago you sent a box of medicine to my sister, Mrs.

Cynthia P. Freer in New Albion, N.Y., which did so much for her that after I was married I used them in my own family. Two different times I have used the "Discovery" when physicians told me they could only patch me up--I was so bad and getting steadily worse. I sat down and wrote to you; even after the letter was written I felt so worthless it seemed foolish to try, so kept my letter for some time thinking it better not to trouble you with it, but finally mailed it little thinking your advice and the "Discovery" could so speedily restore me to my usual health.

A near neighbor used it for a cough occasioned by a sudden cold, and less than one bottle stopped the cough. We use the "Pellets" for malaria and the numberless ills and epidemics that go the rounds, always with happy results; it saves us physicians' bills and much suffering. We consult your Common Sense Medical Adviser as our family physician. It saves much anxiety and fruitless journeyings after a physician, perhaps to find them gone or unwilling to breast the storm or heat, to say nothing of the delay and danger of being too late.

Both my sister and myself have used your "Favorite Prescription" and know it to be what it is represented by you to be. I can conscientiously recommend those of your remedies we have used. I am willing to answer letters of inquiry, if stamps are enclosed for reply.

Respectfully.

MRS. ABBIE J. PIERCE, Box 22, Waterbury, Dixon Co., Nebraska.
