"H0w do I look ("
That depends, madam, upon how
you feel. If you're suffering from
functional disturbances, Irregular
ties or weaknesses, you're sure to
"look it." And DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription is the remedy.
It builds up and invigorates the
system, regulates and promotes the
proper functions, and restores health
and strength. It's a legitimstes
medicine, not . beverage purely.
vegetable, perfectly harmless, and
made especially for woman's needs
In the cure Of all "female COM.
plaints," it's guaranteed to give sat-
isfaction, or the money il refunded.
No other medicine for women is
sold 90. Think of that, when tho
dealer says something else which
pays him better is "just as good"
"Times have changed" So have
methods. The modern improve
ments in pills are DR.. Pierce's Pleas
ant Pellets. They help Nature, in
stead of fighting with her. Sick
and nervous headache, biliousness,
costiveness, and all arrangements
of the liver, stomach and bowels
are prevented, relieved, and cared.
