II does not lie in the painters fancy to
imagine prettier picture than that of a
young girl with lips luscious with the
promise of love, half parted in the smiles
of happy dreamland. The mind of happy
maidenhood is clear and polished mirror,
which. when the wits gowandering into the
ghostland of dreams, reflects the impress
, sions of waking hours. If those impress
sious are pleasant and painless and happy,
she will smile in her sleep. If the impress
sions are those of a suffering woman, tor
tured with the special ailments to which
the feminine organism is liable. the picture
is spoiled by the lines of suffering and de-
spondency. Maladies of this nature unfit a
woman for joyous ruaidenhood and for ca
pable motherhood. They incapacitate her
TO bear the burdens of life in any sphere
of action. Household, marital and social
duties alike are burden TO the woman who
is constantly suffering from headaches,
backaches, dragging sensations and weak
ening drains. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription positively, completely, unfail-
ingly cures troubles of this nature It
inparts health, strength, vigor to the dis
free, healthy maidenhood, happy wifehood
and capable motherhood.
