It isn't fair to start baby -
out in life loaded down with the chains
and manacles of ill-health A baby ought
to have an even chance any way.
A mother can do a great deal to give
her baby a fair start She can almost
always give him strong, healthy consti-
tuition, by taking proper care and build
ing up her health during the time when
baby is expected. DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription has done wonders for ex-
pectant mothers and their babies. 1t
gives health and strength to the mother
at the time she needs IT most. 1t purlhes
the whole system; gives endurance and
elasticity to the special organs OF matern-
ity. and healthfiil tone to the nerves. 1t
mayes confinement shorter and easier;
protects the mother from prostrating re-
lapse and promotes good supply OF
healthy nourishrnent for the child.
1t is the only medicine that does all
this. It is the only medicine for women
devised by regularly graduated, skilled
and experienced physician. DIR. Pierce's
medicines are standard remedies all
over the world.
