DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
is the fruit of years of study by a regu-
larly graduated, experienced and
skilled specialist in woman's ailments,
1t is the product of an investigating
mind united with a generous nature.
When an intelligent person gives
years of study to a subject there must
be some good result. The "Favorite
Prescription" is a compound of ex.
tracts of herbs that makes a strength
ening, soothing medicine. 1t acts di-
rectly upon the distinctly feminine
organs. 1t stops drains from lining
membranes by healing diseased parts,
thereby curing also the Inflammation
that is always present.
