Favorite Prescription Promises Relief for Women’s Ailments
In an appeal to readers, Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is touted as a thirty year tested remedy for “women’s troubles.” The advertisement claims it heals inflammation, ulcers, soothes pain, and strengthens nerves, noting Dr. Pierce’s long career in Buffalo, New York, and offering free advice via letters. A testimonial from Mrs. Bates of Ohio supports its benefits.

PUNGENT PENCILINGS
The column riffs on money and marriage with quips about the dollar worth more owed, ministers earning from unions, and men’s gains by exchanging bachelor quarters for wives. It humorously notes women in mud and umbrellas hindering flirtation and the fate of poor men who stay poor.
Do Not Judge or Overstrain for Graceful Bearing
Do not shine in society by clothes or fault finding in others. Do not walk far after meals, substitute tea for color blind buyers, or blame fowl for toughness with dull knives. Do not injure character by attacking others, nor carry burdens to gain carriage. Do not bet and lose, and avoid scolding a wife in public to seem strong.
