Advice d'Amour MARY WORTH "Doctor Ward's Secret" Part 1

Though Mary Worth has been published in newspapers continuously from 1938 to the present...

...unlike long-lived comic strip contemporaries, like Dick Tracy and Peanuts, Mary's stories have been reprinted almost haphazardly in paperback and comic book formats by several different publishers!
This tale from 1944, by Ken Ernst & Allen Saunders and combining daily and Sunday strips, is the longest single storyline ever reprinted, and even this reprint hasn't been seen in over a 3/4s of a century!
Let's join the storyline featuring a woman doctor (a rarity in the 1940s), a mysterious wealthy widow, experimental medical procedures, and incredibly-nosy neighbors...
What Secrets Will be Revealed...Next Week?
You'll Cry Your Eyes Out If You Miss It!
This story appeared in Magazine Enterprises' one-shot Romantic Picture Novelettes (1946).
Historical note: This was Magazine Enterprises' (best-known for Frank Frazetta's Thun'da, and White Indian as well as the original Ghost Rider) first romance comic.
Their other love comics were Dream Book of Love and Dream Book of Romance.
