Think what a volume of exponent
he has to draw froml No physician
living ever treated so many cases of
female ilk nnd from this vast expert
ence surely it is more than posaiblo
she has pained the very knovtledga
that will help your case
She is glad to have you write or call
upon her You will find her a woman
fullof sympathy with a great desire to
assist those who are sick If hermedii
cine is not what you need she will1
frankly tell you so and there are nine
chances out of ten that she will tell
you exactly what to do for relief She
risks nothing in return except your
pood will and her advice has relieved
thousands
Surely any aillnff woman rich or

take advantage of this generous offer
of assistance
Never la the history of medicine has
