Under ordinarily happy conditions, the
advent of baby means the real birth of
love in the household Cupid may take a
nap when the baby comes-hiS work will
be amply attended to. But there is anoth-
er side to the picture. If the mother be
sick and weak in a womanly way, nervous,
dyspeptic, irritable and unhappy, the baby,
mirror-like, reflects it. Thus is woman's
greatest work rendered incomplete. Thus
it is that she may make the world worse
rather than better by her presence in it.
Each generation ought to be better than
the one preceding it. Each mother ought
to do the best she knows how to make her
children healthier and stronger and bright
er and better and happier than she was. A
child is heir to all the ages and a her
itage of health is the greatest and best
benefit within its mothers gift.
Nine women in ten are not well when
they marry Nine women in ten have some
form of uterine trouble. Not ten in one
hundred are perfectly well, perfectly
strong, perfectly healthysa and regular in
womanly way. A workman doesn't expect
to make beautiful statue if his material
is bad and his tools blunt. A stock breeder
doesn't expect to raise thoroughbreds if his
original stock is poor and weak and dis
eased. Why should human beings expect
to produce worthy, healthy children if they
themselves unworthy and unhealthy?
So-called female complaint" is looked
upon as well nigh incurable. Many wom-
an who is so troubled folds her hands and
sits down hopelessly, helplessly, to a life
time of misery and suffering. Frequently
she does not go to doctor, because she
knows, that he will insist on an eXamina-
tion, and most likely an abhorrent local
treatment. She suffers in silence growing
worse and worse. She even bears children
when she is no condition even to bear the
trials and burdens of everyday life. 1t is
not surprising if these children are sickly,
full and 1ctH DO
full. 1t is not surprising if they grow up
into inferior boys and girls and mediocre
men and women. The mothers health
marks their whole lives and her health or
ill-health rests wholly with herself. She
can be healthy If she really wishes to be.
Her troubles have had the highest of medi-
cal skill concentrated on them, and a rem
edy is offered that will give to her the per-
feet health she ought to have.
Nearly thirty years ago. DIR. R. V. Pierce,
chief consulting physician to the Invalds'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo,
n. Y, discovered his now world famous
"Favorite Prescription for the cure of
all forms of female weakness and dis
ease. Thousands on thousands have been
cured by it. Over 10000 happy, grateful
women have testified in writing over their
signatures to the benefits derived from its
use. Many women are mothers to-day be-
cause the "Favorite Prescription" made it
possible for them. 1t is very rapid in its
work. 1t relieves pain and Inflammation
almost Immediately. 1t strengthens the
diseased parts and restores their healthy
normal action. 1t should be taken in all
cases where there is the faintest indication
of disease or disorder and even though
woman be perfectly well, she should take
it regularly during the entire period of ges-
tation. 1t lessons the discomfort of this
trying time and prepares her system for
the final ordeal. 1t makes delivery COM
paratively easy and painless, and helps the
health of both child and mother
The "Favorite Prescription is the only
known medicine in the world that relieves
parturition of its perils to both mother and
child and makes the coming of baby free
from danger and almost wholly painless,
while it so strengthens and prepares the
mothers system for this trying ordeal as

confinement as we'll

Thereby danger to both mother and child
