Many women sufl‘cr’in silence and drift along from

immediate assistance, but a natural modesty impels them
to shrink from exposing themselves to the questions and
probably examinations of even their family physician. It
.is unnecessary. Without money or price you can consult
a womail whose knowledge from actual experience is
greater thin any local physician. The following invitation
is freely offered; accept it in the same spirit.
Women stuttering from any form of female weakness
are invited to promptly communicate' with Mn. Pinkham
