There was sparkle in her eyes, a soft
clear natural color in her cheeks; she

Yes. l have five children" said the

and my friends wonder that l keep my
health and strength and do my work:
but l take care of myself that is the
reason. l never used to be SO strong

Women break down because they
| go without the little extra help they
need to tide them over hard places.
| When woman expects to become
| mother she ought to be at her very
| best. But that is exactly the time
| when most women feel weak and sick
and miserable. They grow melancholy
| and anxious as the time approaches
and when it comes they have no
strength or stamina of body or mind to
| go through the ordeal.
NO wonder they suffer and nearly
| die sometimes. and are all broken down
| for months or years. If they would
| take the right care of themselves and
| strengthen themselves in natural
| way, they would never suffer as they
| do: and instead of dreading to have
children they would welcome them as a
real blessing.
1T is simply a case of a stitch in
| time saves nine or rather nine hun
| bred. A little natural reinforcement al
| the time when baby is expected will
save months. perhaps years of suffer-
| ing and weakness. At such time I
| always take DIR. Pierce's Favorite
| Prescription, it invariably gives me
| the extra strength and healthy nerve
power which woman needs to bring
| her baby into the world safely and
comfortably.
1T is the most wonderful thing in
| the world to build up woman's ner-
vous system and strengthen the special
| organism of motherhood. 1t gives You
the recuperative power that a woman
cannot get in any other way. 1t carries
you through the nursing time beauti-
fully; it helps you to nourish the baby
and makes him hearty and strong. too
