death turns aside and whose frst-born es-
cape unscathed while the children of Others
perish. The chosen people are the healthy
people. Nine-tenths of the deaths among
children are due to the ill-health of the
mothers during the period preceding moth
erhood. Every woman owes it to herself, her
husband and her children to keep herself
healthy in a womanly way. She should
thoroughly understand her own physical
makeup. She should realize the import
lance of keeping the organs of womanhood
healthy and vigorous. She can only do this
by taking proper care of herself and using
the proper remedy for weakness or disease
of those organs.
The best remedy forweakness or disease of
the organs peculiar to women is Dr.. PIERCE
Favorite Prescription. 1t is truly wonderful
in its effects on t..e female organism. 1t
a1lays Inflammation, soothes pain and re-
stores health and vigor. Get it at the drug
gist's and take no substitute. Your health
and your children's health depend upon it.
Since wrote you we have had baby girl born

has not been sick day. Has not had SO much
as the collie"
Every woman in America should own a
copy of DR.. Pierce's Common Sense Medical
Adviser. In its 1905 pages she will find plain
talks about all sorts of ailments. These talks
are made palmer by copious illustrations.
About 90 pages are devoted to woman's dis
eases and weaknesses. There are sugges-
tons for home-treatment. This book has
already gone into more than a million
