To these the doctor stands a sort of father confessor of things phy- sical. Every letter is read privately, answered privately, and its contents | guarded as sacredly as becomes such confessior And as many women | are naturally sensitive about their ail- ments even the replies are mailed, refully and securely sealed in a per- fectly plain envelope, without print- ing or advertising upon it, that there may be no third party to this corres- pondence. Any sick woman can have the benefit of consultation by letter with Dr. Pierce absolutely without fee or charge of any kind. More than half a million invalid women have been successfully treat- ied by Doctor Pierce, aided by his staff Of skilled specialists, through the medium of correspondence. In this way disagreeable questionings and abhorrent examinations and “local | treatments” are avoided. The world at large knows of Doc- tor Pierce, chiefly as the inventor of the two well-known remedies, Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery aud Doctor Pierce’s Favorite Pre- scription. And it is probably the case that, in general, Dr. Pie remedies are classed with all the other “patent medicines.” and Dr. ! Pierce himself ranked with those “doctors” whose degrees are purely wa Z Mbx the « iron in n 1 Dr. tors, Who steal the terms its have made : them as their “and so to draw the atten their noticeable feature of these it ertise Pierce omen nd as not friendly, to the 1 through physi ger tr 1 has direction. an them relict from the unpleasant tensive exan treatments, the had consult the | women } | even the age and ex enable him to Ivice } physician ow to remem- 1 ion by corres- ations rally ment catch woman by the term asy it would be for such advertisers to say, “write to a wo physician because a physician cannot understand a wo- man,just because he is a man.” it would be to do this if the voman” who invites correspon- e could or dared write M. D. , after her name, and even then, how preposterous the statement would re- main. For two thousand years the | practice of medicine has been entire- | ly in the hands of men, as it is in gen- | eral today. Woman in medicine is a new thing, so new that she has not entered to any known extent into the field of surge Whatever any wo- ph He ician lan AS d lis | Man practitioner has learned of medi- | cine, he must have learned in to; schools, taught by men, and from books written by men. What a paradox therefore is presented in the claim that the man who has taught woman all she knows about medi- cine, does not know anything about | medicine himself. Women who are educated in medi- cine would be the first to laugh at |such statements. It’s only the wo- nan of the advertisements, the “wo- man” for revenue only, and who is not a physician, who can afford to make such amazing and ridiculous claims. of man | How | 3ut this side issue has led us some- med, and no more 2 knowledge or ex- perience than the familiar title of “Major” in some sections of our country signifies that the bearer of it is familiar with siege and battle. Dr. Pierce does not belong to the class of doctors whose titles are by cour- tesy only. He is a doctor by choice. a doctor by education, a doctor by practice and experience. He is more } than that, for although there are no official grades and ranks in the medi- cal profession as in the niilitary, which are marked by titles and by chevrons, yet as a man advances in the practice of medicine, as_ his knowledge becomes exact and cer- tain, as his skill becomes developed and perfected, so he achieves rank among his fellows and is held in honor by the public. Such rank Dr. Pierce has achieved, and as a special- ist in the treatment of diseases of wo- men he stands at the head of his pro- fession in the United States. Dr. Pierce’s remedies differ from most medicines, in the fact that they contain no alcohol, whisky or other intoxicant, and are absolutely free from opium and every other narcotic drug. For no other medicine pre- pared exclusively for the use of wo- men, as is avorite Prescription,” can such a claim be truthfully made. The difference between Dr. Pierce’s establishment and all “pat- ent medicine” establishments is very remarkable, and is apparent at once to every person who ha§ had the op- portunity of actually comparing Dr. Pierce’s laboratory witlt that of any other institution. For instance, since Dr. Pierce has advertised to give free consultation by fetter, many have imitated the advertisements and make an exactly similar offer. As jar as the advertisements go they make just as good a showing as Dr. Pierce. But go to these other estab- lehments and ask to see the “doc- tor,” who gives medical advice, and you'll find, nine times out of ten, that there is no doctor connected with the establishment. Where there is a doc- tor he is probably some medical fail- ure, selling his professional title to the medicine firm for a small con- sideration. Compare this with Dr. Pierce’s institution,the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, with its staff of nearly a score of graduated and experienced doctors, busy every day in_actual practice, its great special laboratory and dispensary, from which special medicines and aux- iliary treatment are sent out daily to all parts of the country, its hospital with its surgical and mechanical ap- plances and operating rooms. In such a comparison you sce at a glance that there is no institution equal to Dr. Pierce’s in the whole country; that for any one else to of- fer what he offers, is to promise what cannot be performed; that no other institution has equal facilities ior the treatment of chronic diseases. In the work of the World's Dis- pensary, and Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, there is real phtl- anthropy as well as real medical and The best recognition of the philanthropic aspect of this comes from the citizens of Buffalo, Dr. Pierce’s home town, who elected him state senator, and later gave him a seat in Congress. From the latter position Dr. Pierce resigned before the expiration of his term. That he should prefer to give up a high and honorable position in the councils of the nation to serve the sick is conclusive evidence of his devotion to their interests and of love for his profession. Perhaps we can offer our readers no better sum- ming up of Dr. Pierce and his work than that of resident Garfield, who said: “He is one of the best men in the world, and he is at the head of of the best institutions in the one world TRIAL OF SENATOR KENNEY er Boggs Testifies to Diversion of Bank Funds, Checks Were Afterward Ma Advised Him to Flee to Cata, at Wile Boges Natlonal He Bank, rid In f ‘om Dove age in his aceou began fa 1893, when he igreed to carry a cheek for ‘Thomas 8.

ANNUAL CONVENTION —— Coming Session of the National Board of Trade, gee QUESTIONS FOR CONSIDERATION Amendments Proposed to the Inter- state Commerce Law. REYORM OF os ee ee CURRENCY The coming annual convention of the na- tional board of trade, which will begin in this city Tuesday of next week, prom| to be the most important of any that been held since the org ion of the body. Mr. William R. Tucker, the secre- tary, has prepared a program of the var- fous subjects to he considered, as men¢ the many local trade org zations throughout the country.

The Trades League of Philadelphia declares that “the demands of commerce, the protection and development of shipping interests, together with the great economies in maritime ex- penses, in saving of time and dangers of navigation, commend the construction of the Nicaragua canal by the United States government as a wise undertaking in the interest of the United States and for the benefit of the commerce of the world. The Toledo produce exchange makes a strong appeal for such action, urging that the acquisition of the Philippines renders such a waterway of greater value. ‘The enactment of legislation for building up the American merchant marine is advo- cated by the New York board of trade and transportation, the Cincinnati chamber of commerce, the Philadélphia board of trade, the chamber of commerce of Pitts nd other organizations.
