Madrid June 20. —The state

would hold them personally res

there are many perilous places where we
need the help of a pilot who has a thorough

In those delicate physical weaknesses and
diseases peculiar to women a general prac

less to be trusted is the advice of any mere
nurse or unscientific person.
Only a specialist who has given a life of
study to this particular field of practice, is
competent to treat the diseases of woman’s
intricate and complicated organism.
Any woman suffering from these delicate
troubles may obtain the most eminent pro
fessional advice free of charge by writing
to Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physi
cian of the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical In
