A Desperate Woman
Kxpetts ia insanity tell
u* that when anyone goes
insane, frequently tlicir whole nature is re
versed. They do and .say exactly the on
poS'ite things to what they would do in
their sane minds. A mother whose mind

The terrible nervous tension under which
many women live and suflTer because of
*omr weakness or dist-a.se of their sex
keep* them on the very verge of insanity.
The constant drag and drain upon the etna-
plicated and delicate organism affects the
whole nervous system and works upon the
brain with an alnmsf irresistible madness.
Thousands of suffering women have been
literally saved from the insane nsvltim by
the timely influence of I>r. Pierce’s Favorite
Prescription. It is the one perfect and pos
itive specific for every derangement of wo
man’s special organism. It is a scientific
and permanent cure for those severe,
chrome, complicated cases which doctors
usually consider, hopeless. It i* the only
medicine of its kind devised by an educated
and skilled physician.
Mrs Sarah I*. Rains, of I»nyton. Cass Co.. Mo.,
in a letter to Dr. Pierce, writes: •* It was in the
winter of 1S90 th.it my sufferings commences!. It
was c»om* to my time of confinement. I took the
grip, am! that with the labor pains all went to
iiv head. I suffered itrraUfuliv. ami when I gave
Urth to n»y little boy I kept getting worse. I
doctored but nothing did me any good. | had
nervous spasms and was delirious—Oh. no tongbe
can rxprtm my sufferings. I was advised liy a
Udy to try your medicine and I did. I gut one
hottlc of (he * Parorite Prescription * and one of
the 'Golden Medical Discovery.* I had taken
two thirds of the medicine when U commenced
Its work. I began to feel better, and stilt con
tinued getting better. In a short time 1 felt ~
