Healthy, happy children are those whose
mothers have been, and are, healthy. The
best intentioned woman in the world will
fall short of her duty to her children if she
is worried and wearied with weakness and
sickness. Most all irritable women are
sick women. Most all melancholy, listless,
languid women are sick women. Every
woman who will take the trouble to notice,
will find that at certain fixed periods she is
nervous, cross, irritable and respondent
Any irregularity makes the conditions
worse Even we'll woman is less amiable
than usual at these times. What can be
expected from a sick woman
When every movement is dreary drag,
when the nerves are all on edge in SYM
pathy with the particular ones affected
when it seems that death were very much
preferable to living-what can woman do
for her children then?
It is every woman's duty to be well and
healthy. There is no reason why she
should be otherwise if only she will take
proper care of herself and take DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription when she needs it.
This celebrated remedy has been used in
the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute
at Buffalo, N. Y, of which DR.. Pierce is
Chief Consulting Physician and specialist,
for over 30 years. Thousands of women
have been cured by it and hundreds have
written grateful letters.

For your Protection. Catarrh "Cures" or
Tones for Catarrh in liquid form to be taken
internally, usually contain either Mercury or
Iodide Of Potassa, or both, which are injur-
ious if too long taken. Catarrh is a local, not
blood disease, caused by sudden change to
cold or damp weather 1t starts in the nasal
passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat.
Cold in the head causes excessive flow of
mucus, and, if repeatedly neglected, the re-
suits Of catairh will follow; severe pain in
the head, roaring sound in the ears, bad
breath, and oftentimes an offensive dis
charge. Theremedy should be quick to allay
Inflammation and heal the membrane. Ely's
Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for
these troubles and contains no mercury
nor any injurious drug. Price, so cents.
