R. V. Pierce, for thirty years chief consult

that will cure all troubles of this nature
IN the privacy of the home. This medi-
cine IS known as DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-

and important organs that make wifehood
and motherhood possible. 1t makes them
strong healthy and vigorous. 1t allays in
hanmation, heals liberation soothes pain
and tones up the nerves. 1t banishes the
lndispositions of the period of impending
maternity, and makes baby's advent easy
