man can't be as sick as woman
AS a mans organization is simpler and
stronger, it follows that his ailments are
less complicated. He is not subject to the
chances and changes, physiologically, that
come to the average woman.
If a woman is in good health there is no
more healthful employment than house
work. Generally speaking, there is no hap
pier woman in the world than the. one who
is well and busy all day long making
home" for dear ones who depend upon
her. But how different when every breath
is pain, every step torture This state of
health, in nine cases out of ten comes from
arrangements of the delicate, feminine or
gans of generation. The family doctor in
quires first concerning these. He most
usually insists upon an examination. 1"
From this the modest woman naturally
shrinks. She is right Excepting in very
unusual cases of g female weakness % ex-
arninations are unnecessary. DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is simple, natural
remedy for these ills. 1t cures gradually,
safely, permanently. Here is one testi-
monia1 out of thousands
"Iwas i'll four years with female weakness
took two bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription. 1 do my house work now without
