And yet not ore in a thou- eand of the women who write have ever seen the man they write to. For after all it’s not the man they write to, but the physician. There’s no sex in medi- The physician with this exten- sive correspondence is Dr. R. V.

How easy d be to do this if the “woman” who invites correspondence could or dared write M. D. after her name, and even then, how preposterous the state- ment would remain. For two thou- sand years the practice of medicine has been entirely in the hands of men, as Buffalo, N. Y. it is in general to-day.

Any sick woman can have the benefit of consultation by letter with Dr. Plerce absolutely without fee or charge of any kind. More than half a million invalid women have been successfully treated by Dr. Pierce, aided by his staff of skilled Spe"ia“st! through the medium of correspondence. In this way dis- agresable questionings and abhorrent | examinations and “local treatments” are avoided. The world at large knows of Doctor Gf course, Dr. Pierce has had many imitato: who steal the terms which familiar, “‘catch-words,” to use them as their in their direction. The most noticeable of these imitations is that diseases are urged to consult by letter some one who is not a vhysician. and has neither the educational ability nor the legal right to treat disease. And sometimes because it is impossible for these ad- vertisers to lay claim to the title of | two well-known remedies, Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery and Doctor is probably the case, that in general, Dr. Pierce’s remedies are classed with physician, they raise a clamor Of‘a,ll the other “patent medicines,” and “write to a woman.” “Woman under- i, pierce himseif ranked with those stands woman,” hoping, doubtless, by|ijictors” whose degrees are purely this article to draw away attention from the fact that they do not and can- not offer the advice of a qualified phy- siclan. But women are quick to seei that a woman unless educated in medi- cine and qualified to practice, can give no advice upon disease that would not be lable to be as dangerous as the dis- ease itself. For there is no place where ignorance js so dangerous as when it undertakes to meddle with a woman's health. That class of advertisers who raiss honorary or assumed. and no more stand for medical knowledge or experi- ence than the familiar title of “Major™” in some sections of our country si 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 courtesy 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 ofllc{in.l grades a‘.nd ;a.nks in ry of “write to a woman" are get- the medical profession as in the mili- g;\egctg be known as “bearded women,” | tary. which are marked by titles and because the “woman in the cnse” is a | by chevrons, yet as a man advances in mere figurehead, a ;tuk.lng horse to the mzflce oL mflilci‘ne as M- lmmrl- | way in which this can be interpreted as | of man and| - |out daily to all part privately, and its contents guarded as | Pierce, chiefly as the inventor of the | | Pierce's Favorite Prescription. And it | of women he stands at the head of his profession in the United States. Dr. Pierce’s remedies differ from most medicines in the fact that they con= tain no alcohol, whis or other in- toxicant and are absolutely free from opium and every other narcotic drug. For no other medicine prepared. exclu- sively for the use of women, as Is “Fa- vorite Prescription,” can such a claim | be_truthfully mad The difference ween Dr. Pierce’s establishment medi- | cine” establishme remark= | able, and is apr to every | person who has had the opportunity of i 's labora- titution. } ce has ad- to give free consuitation by letter, many have imitated the adver- ments and make an e 1y similar offer. the advert ents go, they make ju-t as good a owing as | Dr.” Pierce. But go to these other es- tablishments 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 failure, |selling his professional title to the imeditine firm for a small consideration. Specialists of His Stafi“. yCompare this with Dr. Pierc | tion, the Invalids’ Hotel and | Institute, with its si | score of graduated and | doctors, busy every day in actual prac- tice, its great spe and | dispensary, medi- |cines and auxiliary its al and mechan- ical appliances and operating rooms. In such a comparison you see at a glance that there is no institution equal to Dr. | Pirece’s in the whole country; that for | any one else to offer what he offers is ‘tn promise what cannot be performed; jthat no other institution has equal facilities for the treatment of chronia diseases. In the work of the World’s Dis- pensary and Invalids’ Hotel and Surgi- cal Institute there ls real philanthropy as well as real medical and surgical skill. The best recognition of the phil- anthropic aspect of this work 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 expira- tion of his term. That he should prefer to give up a high and honorable posi- tion 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 President Garfieid, who said, “He is one of the best men in the world. and he is at the head of one of the best institutions in the world.” DR.
