Modern Woman.

It is a sad commentary upon our boosted
civilization that the women Of our times have
degenerated in health aud physique until
they are literally a race of in~valids-pale,
nervous, feeble and back-achy, with only here
and there a few noble exceptions in the per-
sons of the robust, buxom ladies characteristic
of the sex in days gone by. BY a very large
experience, covering a period of years, and
embracing the treatment of many thousands
of cases OF those ailments peculiar to Women,
DR.. Pierce, of tho Worlds Dispensary, Buff
alo. N. Y, has perfected, by the combination
of certain vegetable extracts, a natural spe-
chic, which he does not extol as a cure-all,
but one which admirably fulflls q singleness
of purpose, being a most positive and reliable
remedy for those weaknesses and complaints
that atflict the women of the present day
This natural specific compound is called DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. The follow
ing are among those diseases in which this
wonderful medicine has worked cures as if by
magic and with a certainty never before at
tanned by any medicines Weak back, nervous
and general debility, falling and other dis
placements of internal organs, resulting from
debility and lack of strength in natural sup
ports, internal fever, congestion, inflammation
and liberation and very many other chronic
diseases incident to women, not proper to
mention here, in which, as we'll as in the cases
that have been enumerated, the Favorite Pre-
scription effects cures-the marvel of the
world. 1t will not do harm in any state or
ondition of the system, and by adopting its
use tho invalid lady may avoid that severest
of ordeals-the consulting OF a family ply
stefan. Favorite Prescription is sold by dealers
in medicines generally.
