modesty that has been prolific of weakness
and disease. -Four out of every FIVE women
in America are not perfect women in the
sense of being perfectly healthy They are
not perfectly equipped for the performance
of the duties of wifehood and motherhood.
Their training has made them feel that il is
better to suffer in silence than to tell of
their trouble and be cured.
The doctors are much to blame for this.
because when treating the diseases pecu-
liarly feminine they invariably insist on ex-
animation and local treatment That these
things are generally absolutely unnecessary
has been proven by the wonderful success
of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. 1t is
a positive specific for all forms of female
weakness and disease. It puri6es, strength
ems and regulates the organs distinctively
feminine, restoring them to a state of per
feet health, and in so doing cures four fifths
of all the illness of women, for almost all
womanly illnesses spring from this one
cause.

to use the " Favorite Prescription, " and Just
what methods will be surely successful in
her case, may have the desired information,
