The chances arc that the doctor says it's stomach, or liver, or heart trouble. Nine times in ten he isn't within a mile ot right. He treats for these troubles and charges big bills until the husband j?cts dis gusted and throws him out. The trouble is usually weakness or disease of the dis tinctly feminine organism. Many husbands, after paying bip doctor bills while their wives grew steadily worse, have at last wntten to a physician of na tional reputation and learned the truth. They have been justly indignant -?l thc ig norant pretenders who have experimented upon their wives' health. Bj writing to Dr. B. V.
