who has perhaps heard more woinen_’s
secrets than any other man or woman in
o
crets of guiylt or shame, but the secrets of
i suffering, and they have been confided
to Dr. R. V. Pierce in the hope and ex-
pectation of advice and help._ That few
of these women have been di?ppomted
in their expectations is prov by the
fact that ninety-eight per cent. of all
women treated by Dr. Pierce have been
absolutely and altogether cured. Such a
record would be remarkable if the cases
only. But when that record applies to
the treatment of more than half-a-mil-
lion women, in a practice of over thirty
years, it is phenomenal, and entitles Dr.
Pierce to the gratitude accorded him by
women, and the honor paid him by the
profession as the first of specialists in
the treatment of women’s diseases.
Every sick woman may consult Dr.
Pierce by letter, absolutely without
charge. Every woman’s letter which
contains her secret remains her secret.
It is read in private, answered in private,
‘~ and its contents guarded as a sacred con-
iidence. That no third party should enter
into this secret, all replies are mailed,
out any printing or advertising whatever,
upon them. Vi/'rite without fear. as with-
out fee, to Dr. R. V. Pierce, BuEalo, N. Y.
