Under ordinarily happy conditions, the
advent of a baby means the real birth of
love in the household. Cupid may take
nap when the baby comes-his work will
be amply attended to. But there is anoth-
or side to the picture. If the mother be
sick and weak in a womanly way nervous,
dyspeptic. irritable and unhappy, the baby,
mirror-ike, reflects il. Thus is womaus
greatest work rendered incomplete. Thus
ii is that she may make the world worse
rather than better by her presence in 1t.
Each generation ought to be better than
the one preceding it. Each mother ought
10 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 10 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 healthy and regular in
womaniy 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 ard 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 life
time of misery and suffering. Frequently
she does not go to a doctor, because she
knows that he will insist on an examina-
ton, 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 II these children are sckly,
peevish, fretful, cross and nervously wake
ful. 1t is not surprising il they grow up
into inferior boys and girls and mediocre
men and women The mothers health
marks their whole lives and her health or
nl-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 rem
edy is offered that will give 70 her the per-
feet health she ought to have.
Nearly thirty years ago, Dr. R. V. Pierce,
chief consulting physician to the Invalids'
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 it's
work. 1t relieves pain and Inflammation
almost Immediately. 1t strengthens the
diseased parts and restores their healthy
normal action. il 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
ii regularly during the entire period of ges-
tatlon. II lessons the discomfort of this
trying time and prepares her system for
the final ordeal. IL 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 rs well.
Every prospective mother should, there

TEN Tor the trying ordeal of delivery by
the regular use of DR.. Pierces Favorite
Prescription. which exercises a salutary
influence over that condition and the func>
ton of parturition which cannot be real
lied from any other medicine extant.
Thereby danger to both mother and child
is banished, nearly all the pain and suffer-
ing are avoided, recovery after confinement
IS much more speedy, and an abundant
secretion of nourishment for the child Is
promoted. This wonder-working "Favorite
Prescription imparts health and strength
