"FAINTED AND FELL UPON A HOT STOVE."

Under that headline the morning papers recently told the story of an unfortunate woman who was badly burned. She was subject to fainting fits, and had often fallen to the floor unconscious. But this time she happened to be at work in the kitchen, and was in the very act of placing a dish upon the cookstove when she fainted and fell forward, badly burning herself before help arrived.

The person who is subject to fainting fits is not only in a miserable but a dangerous condition. There is always the possibility of being overtaken by the malady under circumstances which may result in a catastrophe similar to that of the women who fell upon the stove. There are a great many women who are subject to fainting "spells," and there is not one of them who would not be grateful for a means of cure.

MEN DON'T FAINT.

As a rule men do not faint. Starting with that proposition it suggests at once that the frequency of fainting among women must be to a great degree a matter of sex. If we follow this clue a step farther we shall find that in general women who faint are afflicted with womanly diseases and when these diseases are cured there are no more fainting "spells."

"I feel it my duty to write to you and let you know how much your medicine has done for me," writes Mrs. Wm. Hackett, of Breesport, Chemung Co., N.Y. "It is one of the best that I ever used in my life. Before I began to use your medicine it seemed as though I would never be well again. Could not walk to my neighbors, could not stand on my feet five minutes without fainting. Would have a vomiting spell that would last three hours at a time. My limbs would tremble so I could not even wait on myself. Then I had a severe time with chronic inflammation of the liver, then uterine trouble, then heart disease. I had five of the best physicians that could be found. They said to my friends, 'there is no help for her.' One said I could not live the winter out, one told me that if I got temporary relief that was all that could be done. My mother said to me one day when she was there, 'Do you know you cannot get well?' I told her I did. She said, 'What are you going to do about the baby? Do you want me to care for her - or some one else?' It seemed as though she had pierced me with a sword, to think of leaving my little girl without a mother, it seemed as though I could not stand it, and when my friends were telegraphed to that I was dying and seeing them weep by my bed, that seemed as though I could never stand to hear them repeat that they would 'take care of the baby and give her a good home.' I think if ever any one has been through with such a terrible thing they can sympathize with me.

"While taking the first two bottles of your 'Favorite Prescription' and 'Golden Medical Discovery' I seemed to be getting worse. The next two made me feel so well that I could do my work and be real jolly. With the next two I felt like a new being. I have packed and moved twenty miles, and papered three large rooms and a bedroom alone, besides doing my work. I have worked in my garden and picked up about four bushels of chestnuts this fall. I do hope that everyone who is suffering will try Dr. Pierce's medicines. Do not be discouraged if the first you take makes you feel worse but keep right on and you will be surprised at the result."

THE WAY TO BE WELL

Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription makes weak women well. It establishes regularity, dries the drains which weaken women, heals inflammation and ulceration and cures female weakness. When the womanly health is established, fainting, headaches dizziness, and all the other maladies which have their cause in womanly weakness and disease, are entirely cured.

Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is essentially and particularly a woman's medicine. It has perfectly and permanently cured the most complicated womanly diseases when all other means and medicines had failed to give more than temporary relief. 

"I suffered intense agony at times both in mind and body for about twenty years," writes Mrs. M.A. Farrington, of Milford, Pr. Edward Co., Not. (box 21). "My suffering was caused by uterine trouble. I had doctored a great deal but they did not tell me my trouble until I got so bad from dizziness that I could scarcely walk across the floor. Then I went under treatment but it only gave me temporary relief; tried a support for a while, but gave it up because it did not do not me much good. Had female weakness, retroversion, inflammation, ulceration, displacement, with a great nervous debility and terrible headaches until it seemed as though I would go out of my mind. Had weak spells with some ovarian trouble, in fact more misery than I can express. I thank God that he has directed to take Dr. Pierce's medicine and I firmly believe it the best medicine made for all such troubles. Can recommend it to all who suffer as I did. I took six bottles of 'Favorite Prescription,' one of Sage's Catarrh Remedy, also used one dollar's worth of special tablets, and took also Doctor Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. I have worked harder since taking his medicine than in ten years before. Have been moving and have done all my own work before and after, which I know was due to his medicine."
