Many mothers are sickly, fretfnl, helpless
creatures tortured beyond endurance by
the pains of their own wrecked constitu-

little encouragement or sound advice
who appeals to such a mother. Most ILL
health among women is due to weakness
and disease of the organs distinctly femi-
nine. If these parts are weak and d1s-
eased the entire system suffers.
The most wonderful remedy for all
weakness and disease of the distinctly fe-
male organism is DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. It allays inflammation,
soothes pain and imparts vigor and health
to these delicate organs. 1t makes
healthy mothers and capable wives. 1t
prepares a woman for motherhood. It
does away with the discomforts of the ex-

easy and almost painless. Over 10000
women have testified to its virtues, in
writing. Druggists sell it.
