SOMETHING TO REMEMBER,
if you're a weak or ailing woman :
that there's only one medicine so
sure to help you that it can be
guaranteed. It's DIR. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription. In building
up overworked, feeble, delicate wo-
men, or in any "female complaint "
or weakness, if it ever fails to bene-
fit or cure, you have your money
back. It's an invigorating, restora-
tive tonic, a soothing and strength
ening nervine, and safe and certain
remedy for woman's ills and all
ments. 1t regulates and promotes
all the proper functions, improves
digestion, enriches the blood, dispels
aches and pains, brings refreshing
sleep, and restores health and
strength.
In all the chronic weaknesses and
disorders that affiict women, it is
guaranteed to benefit or cure, or
the money is refunded.
Nothing else can be as cheap.
With this, you pay only for tho
good you get.
