necessary to use a grindstone in order to open the letters as
fast as they come in. This is the way Mrs. C. B. M. opens her
mail. She gets tons of mail, and to save time has the letters
opened by a large grindstone, which occupies a conspicuous
place in her office. No other person in Indiana receives so
much mail as she.

Mrs. M.'s aid and advice is as free to you as God's sunshine or
the air you breathe. She is always glad to lend her assistance
to every suffering woman, and she is a generous, good woman,
who has suffered herself as you suffer, and she wants to prove
to you that her common sense home treatment will cure you just
as surely as it cured her years ago in her humble cottage
before riches and fame came to her.

If you are a sufferer from any female trouble, no matter what
it is, send the coupon below to Mrs. C. B. M. at once.

I dedicate this book to you.

womanhood wrought by female complaints, know, as I hope you
will never know, what shattered lives and broken hearts they
cause.

Only a sensitive woman can realize how hard it is to bring
one's self to undergo the ordeal of examination and treatment
by a physician.

Every letter sent out by this concern was signed, "Mrs. C. B. M." All
literature, every booklet, and every advertisement was ingeniously and
seductively "built up" to convey by implication the impression that the
business was conducted by a woman, and hence the inference followed in
