THICK NECK (GOITRE).

Master Sumner.

Gentlemen—I am willing and pleased to have you publish anything I have written in regard to the cure of my little son of Goitre (that a surgeon of N. Adams said could never be cured).

I do hope that by so doing some little one may escape the misery my little one suffered for over a year until I began the use of the "Golden Medical Discovery." I followed your directions found in the little book around the bottles. Before the first bottle was gone, he could eat and sleep without that coughing and choking that, before the use of the "Discovery," was impossible.

The tumor began to lessen in size, and after the third bottle I would never have known he ever had a tumor there. He is now hearty and healthy. Sleeps as good as any child and is full of life. He does not take anything to prevent a return, and has not for over a year.

I have one of your Common Sense Medical Advisers, and found it worth five times what I gave for it; I have helped others to get it and the "Medical Discovery" and "Favorite Prescription" have brought relief to many through me. I use the "Prescription" off and on; it has given me strength; I think I should have been an invalid long ago without it.

Every one here knows the truth of this letter, and I would tell it to the world if I could.

Respectfully, MRS. ANNIE SUMNER, Heartwellville, Bennington Co., Vt.

DROPSY, SICK HEADACHE, DYSPEPSIA AND BLOODY PILES.

WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, Buffalo, N.Y.:

Mrs. Knavel.

Gentlemen—In the winter of 1881, I became irregular in my monthly courses. Of course at first I paid but little attention to it, hoping it would amount to nothing and probably wear away. But I slowly but surely grew worse, and at last resolved to apply to the doctors for help. My water came often, and in small quantities, and with great pain, and with red brick-dust deposit. I was attacked with severe womb trouble, bloody piles and dropsy of the ovary. I was treated by five different doctors. I was compelled to wear an inside support for a year, but it still seemed impossible for me to get well and I began to feel exceedingly alarmed and very uneasy, not knowing what course to pursue, or what the consequences might be. I had heard of Dr. Pierce, and concluded to make one more trial, so I sat down and wrote a letter to him, stating matters as near as I could, and in due time I received a favorable reply; then I commenced with his medicine. I commenced somewhere in February 1891 with the "Golden Medical Discovery" and "Favorite Prescription," in alternate doses. A strange occurrence followed. My limbs felt like what we call "asleep," and I felt as if I were in a strange land and wondered what was going to take place. I kept on till I took nine bottles. The first relief I felt was from sick headache, which I had been troubled with for many years; I was also cured of a very bad cough which I had been troubled with for many years, and of dyspepsia of long standing. I was entirely cured of a very singular and severe itching on my back, between my shoulders, which our doctors called winter itch and which they pronounced incurable. I had suffered with this for twenty years; it would come in the winter and go away in the summer. I was also cured of the worst form of bloody piles and of womb disease. At present I feel like a new person.

When I first commenced with Dr. Pierce's medicines, I could not walk half a mile without a pain. The other day I walked to Mercersburgh post-office, a distance of twelve miles, and the next day walked back again, and felt no bad results from the journey. I am now 51 years old.

Mrs. Knavel further writes, that "To any person desiring to know more concerning my case and its wonderful cure, and who will enclose to me a return self-addressed and stamped envelope for reply, I will be pleased to write further information."

Yours respectfully, SARAH A. KNAVEL, Indian Springs, Washington Co. Md.

Gentlemen—I have been a sufferer from womb trouble for eight years, having doctored with the most skillful physicians, but finding only temporary relief from medicines prescribed by them. I was advised by a friend to take the "Favorite Prescription," which I did, and found, in taking six bottles of the "Prescription" and two of the "Discovery," that it has effected a positive cure, for which words cannot express my gratitude for the relief from the great suffering that I so long endured.

Respectfully, MRS. W.O. GUNEKEL, No. 1461 South 7th St., Terre Haute, Ind.

GENERAL DEBILITY. "FEMALE WEAKNESS."

DR. R.V. PIERCE, Buffalo, N.Y.: Hardy, Cascade Co., Mont.

Dear Sir—I have enjoyed pretty good health for the past three years. Before I took your "Golden Medical Discovery" and your "Favorite Prescription" I was so weak that I could hardly do my housework. I took seven bottles in all of the two medicines; they did me a world of good; I do not think I should have been here to-day were it not for your medicines.

I would send you my photograph, but I have none, and live sixty miles from a photographer.

Gratefully yours, Mr. Thomas Prewett

Mrs. Jane Golden, of Durand, Pepin Co., Wis., writes Dr. R.V. Pierce, Chief Consulting Physician, at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo, N.Y., as follows: "It is my heart's desire to write to you of what your medicines have done for me. I was in a very bad state when I wrote to you, and you prescribed for me and I took your medicines according to directions and am a well woman again. I had uterine disease and tumor in the breast. The doctors said they could do nothing for me any more and must resort to the knife. I would not consent and so wrote to you, and followed your advice. I took two dozen bottles of your 'Favorite Prescription,' seven bottles of your 'Golden Medical Discovery' and my health is now better than it had been in twenty years; my neighbors said I could not live three months, and I know that your treatment and medicine cured."

ULCERATION OF WOMB. IRREGULAR MENSTRUATION.

Mrs. Spicer.

Gentlemen—Please accept my heartfelt thanks for your medicines, which I have every reason to believe have cured me. I was afflicted for more than five years with falling of the womb and ulceration of the same, connected with very painful and irregular menstruation with chills during the same. Rush of blood to the head, sometimes falling down in insensibility and remaining so for several hours; and part of the time could not bear my weight on my limbs to stand up or walk at all for several days at a time. I was a burden to myself when I commenced taking Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and "Golden Medical Discovery," and his "Pleasant Pellets" and "Smart-weed;" I used the glycerine and iodine as you prescribed for me also. I think I used one dozen bottles of "Prescription," half a dozen "Discovery" one dozen "Pills," one-half dozen "Smart-weed," at first and some more afterwards, only a few bottles, I don't remember how many.

I am now well, doing my own work, and do not suffer any more pain, and don't need any more medicine.

Respectfully, MRS. MARY J. SPICER, Boulder, Boulder Co., Colo.

SAVE DOCTORS' BILLS.

DR. R.V. PIERCE, Buffalo, N.Y.: Arcadia, Manistee Co., Mich.

Dear Sir—We received your kind letter, with the "Pellets," and are very much obliged for the same. We know they are just what you recommend them to be. We have used your medicines for about seven years and have depended almost entirely on them for five years. Before we began the use of your medicines, we used to have to employ a doctor every little while; now we do not have to. We have four children. We give them Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery when they take cold and I think it is far better than most cough medicines, for the "Discovery" helps the appetite and the cough medicines make one sick. I like your idea of keeping the blood pure and the "Discovery" is the medicine for that. I take a bottle twice a year, in the spring and fall, and I have recommended it to several other ladies who have tried it and they all think highly of it. I have bought thirteen bottles of the "Discovery" and three bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and nine bottles of the "Pellets" in five years, so you see our doctor-bill has not been very large. Our oldest boy hurt himself, lifting, and I depended upon Dr. Pierce's Compound Extract of Smart-weed for external application, and it cured him. I bought two bottles of that.

Yours truly, Mrs. S. Keillor

Gentlemen—I took your Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription when I was run-down and through the warm weather. It worked like a charm on my system and I am a good deal heavier in flesh now. It is the best medicine in the world for "female troubles," for I took almost all kinds of Patent Medicines, and doctors' prescriptions without benefit. There is hardly a day passes but that I recommend it to some of my lady friends.

Gentlemen—Your medicines have my greatest praise as they did me a great deal of good. I was sick for nearly three years. Sometimes I thought I would go crazy I was so weak, nervous, and down hearted, and sour in spirits, that I was afraid I would die every day, and such mean feelings I could not describe to any one. I remained in this stage for nearly three years, doctoring with every home doctor and trying every medicine that I thought would help me, and I could get no relief. I could not sleep at times and had palpitation of the heart so that I would have to get up, for my heart would beat so fast I thought every minute I would die. The misery I went through no one could describe.

A lady friend handed me Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser, and I wrote to you about myself, and you told me to take "Favorite Prescription" and "Golden Medical Discovery." I commenced in the spring and took three bottles of each of your medicines, and I felt so much better I thought that was enough, and ever since I have had my health. I grew stronger, and could run and skip about like a child, and was happy all day long. I felt so well I could hardly believe it was myself. I just used the two kinds of medicines—"Golden Medical Discovery" and "Favorite Prescription," and followed the "Common Sense Medical Adviser," took regular baths, and dieted for about a year, and the result was a bright baby boy which brightens our home. I took the "Favorite Prescription" before, and the result was a few hours' labor and got along splendidly; my baby weighed twenty-four pounds at seven months—a brighter, healthier baby than he is there never was.

Respectfully yours, MRS. MINA JOHNSON, Riverside, Ravalli Co., Mont.

PARTIAL PARALYSIS FROM UTERINE DISEASE.

Buffalo, Larue County, Ky.

WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, Buffalo, N.Y.:

Gentlemen—I am still having very good health. I value Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and his "Favorite Prescription" very highly and often recommend them to others. I do not think I would ever have got well if it had not been for your medicines. I was in a sad condition. My bowels and half of my body (the left side), was nearly paralyzed, besides nearly my whole system was out of order. I suffered all the time; but after taking six bottles of "Golden Medical Discovery" and the same of "Favorite Prescription," and using two bottles of Sage's Catarrh Remedy as an injection, I felt like a new person. I have never seen anyone suffering in the same way as I did. If anyone with female trouble of any kind will use your medicines I am satisfied they will help them.

Yours truly, Mary A. Sallee

Dear Sir—I think your "Favorite Prescription" was the preservation of my life. I was under the doctor's care for three months with womb disease and a gradual wasting all the time. I was so weak that I could not be raised in bed when I commenced taking the "Prescription," and by the time I had taken three bottles I was up and going wherever I pleased, and have had good health and been very strong ever since. That was four years ago. I have recommended it to a good many of my friends, and they have taken it and are highly pleased.

Gentlemen—For three months I was almost prostrated with ulceration of the womb. I began the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and his "Golden Medical Discovery," and other remedies that are prescribed in his treatise on womb diseases. After three months' use of same I was cured. I have implicit faith in their medicines and can recommend them to others who are similarly afflicted.

I gave birth to a healthy girl; your medicine is the best in the world for pregnant ladies—it lessens the misery of that critical period. I cannot praise it too much. I have gained ten pounds since I began using your valuable remedy.

OVARIAN DISEASE.

Gentlemen—I received the Common Sense Medical Adviser and I am well pleased with it. I return many thanks to you for your kindness. My complaint was pain in my back, and in my side, that moved from the right side to the left; shortness of breath and pain in the lower part of the stomach, and my doctor said I had ovaritis and I took two bottles of the "Favorite Prescription" and one bottle of the "Golden Medical Discovery," and I am relieved of all pains in the back and sides, and of womb complaint. I shall always speak good words for you. I suffered with those pains for five years.

Gentlemen—I am more than willing to say your most valuable medicine has cured me of a very disagreeable complaint, leucorrhea. I suffered for years with pain in my back, never a night was I free. At your request I commenced a course of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and "Golden Medical Discovery." I could not sleep on a mattress; it seemed as though it would kill me. Since taking the medicine I can sleep anywhere; I am perfectly well. I would not be placed in my former condition for any money. I bought six bottles, or $5.00 worth. I took but four, my husband took the "Golden Medical Discovery." At this time I had a servant girl who suffered badly from pain at the time of her monthly periods; she took the other bottle of "Favorite Prescription," which was a great help to her.

SEVERE FLOWING (MENORRHAGIA.)

Lewistown, Mifflin Co., Penn's.

Gentlemen—Seven years ago this month, I was taken sick—was bed-fast six months, and during that time, many times, was not able to eat alone. I had the best doctor that could be got. I would have sinking spells. My nerves were prostrated and I had female weakness and ulceration of the womb, which caused such excessive flowing that they thought I would die; then I would take sinking spells. My stomach was too weak, the medicine could not do its part as it should have done. I had torpid liver and right side of lungs affected; catarrh of the throat and piles; palpitation of the heart, and kidneys were somewhat affected. My doctor got me up and able to walk through the house, but the flowing would still be so bad that I would have to take the bed; then would be able to be up again and learn to walk a little again till the time would come again.

My doctor treated me for the ulcers. A lady came to see me. She told me to try Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. I got it but did not tell my doctor. He soon remarked the improvement and I then told him what I was using; he told me to use it, that it would be good for me. I used eleven bottles of the "Favorite Prescription," and two of the "Golden Medical Discovery." The flowing was not so bad. I got so I could sit up and be about at all times, and walk about in the house. I am still improving, and can do light house work. I am able to walk out to church every Sunday.

Gentlemen—A few years ago my health failed. I was troubled with female disease in its worst form having been afflicted about fifteen years. I was also troubled with constipation, loss of appetite, dizziness and ringing in my head, nervous prostration, hysteria, loss of memory, palpitation of the heart together with "that tired feeling" all the time. I consulted several physicians—no one could clearly diagnose my case and their medicine failed to give relief. After much persuasion I commenced taking Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription—have taken five bottles and am a well woman doing all my housework; from a run down condition I have been restored to health. I feel it my duty to recommend your "Favorite Prescription" for ladies afflicted with female diseases as I have been.

Gentlemen—After suffering for over a year with indigestion and low condition of the blood I was advised to try Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. I had hardly finished the first bottle when I felt a great change, so I continued on until I had taken three bottles, and at the end of that time I was completely cured. My health was so much impaired that I feel I owe a great deal to your wonderful medicine. Thanking you for the advice which you so kindly gave me while taking your medicine, I am,

Dear Sir—I am in very good health now. I think your "Favorite Prescription" is wonderful. I brought forth a fine son the first day of December—the fattest baby I ever saw, and that is why I think your medicine is such a fine one for poor sickly females. I know I never would have become pregnant, if I had not got in better health. I feel it my duty to do all that I can to praise you and your wonderful "Favorite Prescription." I can highly recommend it to all females who are suffering with leucorrhea, for I don't think any one suffered any worse than I did when I made my case known to you. May God bless you, and your great medicine—the "Favorite Prescription."

Gentlemen—I had been suffering from ulceration and abscess in the womb, and falling of the womb, for several years or since the birth of my youngest child. I consulted all the physicians around here and they gave me up and said there was no help for me.

At last, almost discouraged, I found in a little book your medicines advertised. I did not have any faith in them—I had tried so much and failed to get relief. But I began taking Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and his "Favorite Prescription," and took five bottles of each, and used two bottles of your Sage's Catarrh Remedy for vaginal injections. It is three years since and I have not had any return of the trouble. I feel very grateful, and in fact, owe you my life, for I do not think I should have been alive now if I had not taken your remedies.

WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, Buffalo, N.Y.:

Gentlemen—I first had dyspepsia and "liver complaint" for five years, and I took six bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and his "Pleasant Pellets," which Entirely cured me of that complaint. I also had painful menstruation, and took about eight bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and two bottles of his Compound Extract of Smart-weed, which cured me. The symptoms of this disease were very severe, pain in the region of the womb, back and thighs, Chilliness and nausea; this disease was so severe that I was barren for two years of married life, and after taking the "Favorite Prescription," I became the mother of a boy.

Gentlemen—I am happy to say that your valuable medicine has been a great benefit to me. I was suffering from general debility, malaria and nervous sick headaches, and after my third child was born (a beautiful baby boy of ten pounds) I only recovered after a long illness; I barely gained strength enough in two years' time so that I was able to crawl about to accomplish the little housework that I had, by lying down to read many times each day; had sick headaches very often; and many pains and aches, all the time complaining of getting no better. I finally asked my husband to get a bottle of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, which he promptly did. After I had taken one bottle I could see a great change in my strength, and fewer sick headaches.

I continued taking the medicine until I had taken eight bottles—seven of the "Favorite Prescription" and one of the "Golden Medical Discovery." For some time past I have not used it but I am now able to do the housework for myself, husband and two children (aged nine and five years). I also take in dressmaking, and enjoy walking a mile at a time, and I think it is all due to the medicine, for I know I was only failing fast before I commenced to take it. I take great pleasure in recommending the "Favorite Prescription" to all women who suffer from debility and sick headache.

OVARIAN PAINS.

Ligonier, Westmoreland Co., Pa.

WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, Buffalo, N.Y.:

Gentlemen—The doctors never gave any name for my disease except that one doctor said it was severe pain in the ovaries. His medicine did me no good; but whatever ailed me I was in such misery I could not describe what I suffered. The first thing that gave me any relief was Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. The first half bottle made me feel much better. I used two or three bottles and thought I was cured, but it came back in three or four months, and as soon as I began to take the medicine again I got better. I took two or three bottles again, and never felt anything of it since; and that is nearly four years ago, and I give all thanks to Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. I use no other medicine at all for stomach trouble but Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. I have been troubled some with rheumatism, when nothing else would do any good, "Golden Medical Discovery" cured me; I had not taken more than one-half bottle when I felt like another woman, and I would advise any who has any trouble with his stomach, or who has rheumatism, to try it as there is not its equal to be found.

Yours truly, Mrs S.A. Beatty

Gentlemen—Four years ago, I became afflicted with womb trouble—knew nothing but pain and suffering. Began doctoring right away with our home doctor. He not doing me any good, I went to another doctor who advised me to wear an inside supporter, which really did me more harm than good. Last spring was taken down sick and laid on my back for ten weeks; when I heard of Dr. Pierce's wonderful Favorite Prescription. The first bottle helped me. I have now taken four bottles and feel perfectly cured. I cannot find language to express my gratitude for being restored to perfect health from a condition worse than death.

HOW TRAVELING INVALIDS MAY BE IMPOSED UPON.

WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, Buffalo, N.Y.:

Gentlemen—It is now about five years since I spent eight days at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, under treatment for a chronic disease of eighteen years' standing. I had given up to die. Going to your Dispensary was a last resort with me; I had undergone a surgical operation at the hands of my family physician from which I grew worse every day for eight months, so that I very despondently started for your institution; and when I had traveled eleven hundred miles I was made more despondent by inquiring of a man how far I had to travel to reach Buffalo, N.Y.: He answered, "Just one hundred miles." I then inquired of him if he had ever been in Buffalo, N.Y. He replied, "Many a time." I then asked him, what about Dr. Pierce's world-famed Surgical Institute? "Oh, it's a humbug. They have some drawings or pictures taken from some government buildings, that's where they get that fine building you see pictured in their books and pamphlets."

I don't suppose there ever was a sadder heart entered the door of the Invalids' Hotel than that heart of mine; but it was soon made glad to be glad ever since. During the first night in the Invalids' Hotel I met and talked with patients afflicted as I was. Many of them were cured and talking of going home next day, and sure enough, they went; but I never missed them in number for others kept coming.

I can honestly and truthfully say that the World's Dispensary Medical Association of Buffalo, N.Y., is anything else than a humbug. The reason why they are not humbugs is plain. They continue to perform wonderful cures and treat their patients with unsurpassed nursing, and a kinder lot of physicians, surgeons and nurses I don't believe can be found in the world.

I cheerfully advise all persons suffering from chronic diseases not to stop to count the distance from where they live to Buffalo, N.Y., but go straight to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute without delay, for it is by the will of God and their skill that I am living to-day.

Yours truly, L.M. McPhail, Autun, Anderson County, S.C.

NERVOUSNESS, "FEMALE WEAKNESS," NASAL CATARRH.

Gentlemen—My health was utterly gone. Was suffering from nervousness, female troubles and nasal catarrh; life was almost a burden to me, but a glorious change came, due solely to Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. I have suffered more than tongue can ever tell. I have been treated by good physicians but they only help me temporarily. I have taken a great many patent medicines with the same result. In 1890, I began taking Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, which gave me immediate relief and a permanent cure.

Respectfully, MRS. BELLE SANDERSON, Sprout, Nicholas Co., Ky.

MADE HER "STRONG AND WELL."

DR. R.V. PIERCE, Buffalo, N.Y.:

West Liberty, Ohio.

Dear Sir—I can cheerfully recommend your valuable medicine, the "Favorite Prescription," to suffering females. Three years ago my health became so poor that I was scarcely able to help with the household duties. I was persuaded to try your medicine, and purchased six bottles. That, with the local treatment you advised, made me strong and well. My sister has used it in the family with like results.

Yours truly, L.E. Johnson

MADE LIFE A BURDEN.

Gentlemen—For years I suffered monthly from periodic pains which at times were so acute as to render life a burden. I began using Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. I used seven bottles in as many months and derived so much benefit from it and the home-treatment recommended in his Treatise on Diseases of Women, that I wish every women throughout our land, suffering in the same way, may be induced to give your medicines and treatment a fair trial.

Gratefully yours, Miss G.F. CRAWFORD, Limestone, Me.

"FEMALE WEAKNESS," LEUCORRHEA.

Gentlemen—I will write you a few lines to-day and feel thankful that I can say I enjoy good health most all the time. When I first commenced using your medicine I was suffering from female weakness, leucorrhea, bearing-down pains and a soreness across me that at times I could hardly stand up straight when I would get up off of my chair to walk across the room. I got a bottle of your "Favorite Prescription" and by the time I had used half of it, the soreness began to get better. I used three bottles altogether, and since that, you might say I am enjoying the best of health most of the time. I have had two baby boys since—both healthy, although the baby is only three weeks old, and I am doing all of my own work since he was two and one-half weeks old.

I always speak highly and recommend your medicine because I know it deserves a good name; and I feel certain it will cure female diseases if they give it a fair trial.

Yours respectfully, MRS. RICHARD REED, Springfield, Kings Co., N.B.

FEMALE IRREGULARITIES.

Cuscowilla, Mecklenburg Co., Va.

WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, Buffalo, N.Y.:

Gentlemen—I take pleasure in adding my testimonial to the great list, and hope that it will be of interest to suffering humanity. I tried three doctors and none of them seemed to do me any good. When at last I almost despaired of health any more, I saw in a paper one of your advertisements, and I sent for and got two bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and I improved so rapidly that I sent for and got three bottles of your "Favorite Prescription," and now I am as well as I have been since I was a child.

I had been a sufferer for three years when I commenced taking Dr. Pierce's medicines. When I commenced taking it, I was not able to walk across my room without help, or rise from my chair. I suffered from nervousness very much, and with the least excitement I would faint; and I think, in short, I suffered with female irregularities and that your medicine has brought me through. I don't think I can say enough for it. I have used five bottles of your medicine in all.

If any one wishes to know what I have to say, they can address me in person, enclosing stamps. With respect, I am,

Yours, Sarah E. Ineker

"JUST A MERE SKELETON."

Gentlemen—If I had not taken your medicine I would not be here now. The doctors did me no good, I was just a mere skeleton, could not eat. I would have awful pain in my stomach—pain in my side, bowels and chest; soreness in my back and womb; was weak, nervous and could not sleep.

After I took your "Favorite Proscription" and "Golden Medical Discovery," I commenced to improve. In two weeks could walk about the house—could eat—did not have any more pain in my stomach—threw away my morphine powders. When I first commenced taking the medicine it made me feel worse. I was hoarse, could not speak aloud for three days; as I got better my pains and bad feelings left me and I could sleep good; my nerves got better. Before I took your medicine I kept my bed four months—got worse all the while. I am now quite fleshy and can work all day.

Respectfully, MRS. WILLIAM ROBERTS, Bridgeport, N.Y.

CONSTANT SUFFERER FOR MANY YEARS.

Gentlemen—For many years my wife has been a constant sufferer from indigestion, sick headache, nervous prostration and all other complaints that the female sex is heir to, and, after trying many remedies and doctors with but little or no relief, I persuaded her to try Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and "Golden Medical Discovery." She was so out of heart, she returned the answer that it would be like all the rest—of no good; but on my account, she said she would try it, so I got one bottle each; and before she had used half of a bottle she felt that it was benefiting her, and she has continued to improve ever since, and now thinks it the most wonderful remedy on earth for her sex, and recommends it to all suffering females. She has not been so well in ten years.

I write this without any solicitation and with a free, good will, so that you may let all who may suffer know what it has done for her.

Yours truly, M.W. SCOTT, U.S. Marshall's Office, Atlanta, Ga.

Gentlemen—For about two years I was a constant sufferer from diseases peculiar to my sex. I had to be carried from my bed, had horrible dreams, sinking sensations, was very nervous and had little or no appetite. In short, my whole body was racked with pain. I had frequent attacks of hysteria, and was completely discouraged, for I found no medicine did me any good. At last I determined to give your "Favorite Prescription" a trial. I had taken but two bottles before I felt so much better! I took eleven bottles. To-day I am well. I have never felt the least trace of my old complaint in the last six years. We use the "Golden Medical Discovery" whenever we need a blood-purifier. By its use, eruptions of all kinds vanish and the skin is rendered clear and soft, almost as an infants.

Respectfully, MRS. HARRY TAPPAN, Reynolds, Neb.

AT DEATH'S DOOR.

Abita Springs, La.

DR. R.V. PIERCE, Buffalo, N.Y.:

Dear Sir—My wife suffered from laceration of the womb and inflammation—she was completely bed-ridden and lingered about one year at death's door. Local applications were given her and Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription; she gradually regained strength and continued to do so until she recovered. I am convinced that any case of womb disease can be certainly and permanently cured by the use of your remedies.

HEART, LIVER, AND STOMACH DISEASE.

Gentlemen—About nine years ago my health began to fail; had a continual pain and aching under my right shoulder and in or under my right breast; I could not eat anything but a little milk or bread, and even that made my stomach pain and hurt me so I could not rest; I kept getting weaker all the time and I could no longer sit up; I sent for our family physician; he said I had dyspepsia and inflammation of the liver, and gave me medicine two or three months, but I kept getting weaker all the time; it seemed to me that I was diseased all over; thought I had heart disease; had the doctor examine my heart several times. I became so discouraged that I gave up all hope of ever getting well, but consented to send to Dr. Pierce for medicine. I commenced taking it and in a short time I was able to sit up; continued to take his medicine three months and felt like a new person—didn't need any more medicine and have not yet. I can eat anything I wish; am sixty-three years old; can walk a mile without any trouble, and I can truly say that I believe it was Dr. Pierce's medicines that saved my life.

Respectfully yours, MRS. VIRGINIA LANDRUM, Merino, Logan Co.. Col.

UTERINE DISEASE.

Creston, Iowa.

DR. R.V. PIERCE, Buffalo, N.Y.:

Sir—My wife improved in health gradually from the time she commenced taking "Favorite Prescription" until now. She has been doing her own housework for the past four months. When she began taking it, she was scarcely able to be on her feet, she suffered so from uterine debility. I can heartily recommend it for such cases.

Yours truly, H.H. Snyder

Dear Sir—My daughter, Miss MEEKER, was sick and we called in one of the best doctors here. She got so weak that I had to help her out of bed and draw her in a chair. She then tried some of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. In less than a week she was out of bed and has been working about five weeks now, and looks the picture of health. As for myself I am much better of my female complaint. Before taking the "Favorite Prescription," I suffered most of the time from catarrhal inflammation.

Yours respectfully, MRS. NANCY MEEKER, Dunraven, Delaware Co., N.Y.

LIFTED THE BURDEN.

Nye, Putnam Co., W. Va.

DR. R.V. PIERCE, Buffalo, N.Y.:

Dear Sir—Mine is a case of eleven years' standing, which baffled the skill of the best medical aid procurable. I obtained no good effect, until I began the use of the "Favorite Prescription," which lifted the burden which was seeking my life. My gratitude I owe to the "Prescription." I hope that all suffering humanity (as in my case) may profit by the result of my experience.

Yours truly, Evoline Neil
