locally, to stimulate the
ulcer to heal, is to keep it well cleansed by the use of Castile soap
and warm water. Just so with ulceration of the womb. Thoroughly cleanse
the vagina and neck of the womb once a day by the use of warm water and
a little soap, applying this _thoroughly_, as directed on page 704,
under the head of treatment for leucorrhea, and using a solution of Dr.
Pierce's Purifying and Strengthening Lotion Tablets as there directed.
After thus thoroughly cleansing and purifying the parts, a piece of soft
sponge as large as a hen's egg, to which a bit of cord or strong thread
is attached to facilitate removing it, may be thoroughly wet in pure
glycerine and introduced into the vagina, pressed against the mouth of
the womb, and allowed to remain there for twelve hours, when it should
be gently removed by pulling on the attached string. The cleansing
lotion of soap and warm water should be used daily and followed by the
glycerine application.

Every third night instead of the glycerine tampon apply one of Dr.
Pierce's Antiseptic and Healing Suppositories, pressing it well up
against the mouth of the womb, and letting it remain there to slowly
dissolve. This will give far better curative results than the
application of nitrate of silver or other caustics so generally used by
physicians. Besides it has the great advantage of being entirely
harmless in any condition of the parts to which it is applied. These
Suppositories are powerfully antiseptic, destroying all offensive odors
and have a soothing and at the same time tonic or strengthening effect
upon the neck of the womb and the vagina.

In cases where there is prolapsus or falling of the womb, or Anteversion
or Retroversion, or other displacements the use of the Antiseptic and
Healing Suppositories will be found to be of great benefit in giving
strength to the supports of the womb and its appendages.

If your dealer is not supplied with the Suppositories, inclose 25 cents
in one-cent stamps to us at Buffalo, N.Y., and a package will be sent
you, post-paid.

We are fully aware that this thorough and _systematic_ course of
treatment is slightly troublesome in its application, but what system of
treatment that can promise similar success is not?

This course of treatment must be _rigidly_ adhered to for several weeks
before we can expect a complete cure of the ulcers and the arrest of the
consequent leucorrheal discharge.
