the ordinary illnesses of childhood?
Any woman may insure the health of her
children who will take proper care of her
health i'll wofnanly way. The health of
her children depends almost entirely upon
her general health, and particularly upon
the health and strength of the delicate and
important organs that bear the burdens of
maternity. A woman has no right to dis
regard her own health, comfort ease and
happiness, she certainly has less right to
condemn her children to life of suffering
or an early death That is what she does
If she neglects the health of her special
womanly organism. DR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription is an unfailing remedy for all
disorders of this description. 1t strength
ems and 1nvigorates the sensitive organs
concerned, and is the best preparation for
the trials and dangers of maternity. 1t in
sures the well being of the mother and the
health of the child. It's use is guarantee
of bountiful supply of nourishment for
the little newcomer. Many women who
once bore children only to speedily lose
them, are now mothers of healthy, robust
children as the result of the use of this
medicine.

have no doubt that many more were
put on the ship than should have been,
owing to the great desire to get home,
as they had the fear of yellow fever,
and were almost wholly without hospi-
tai accommodation.
The sick and wounded had only the
clothing on that they wore into bat
tie, and, of course, that was ragged and
worn out by the time they reached
home There was none to issue to
them at the time they left and their
own extra clothing they could not get
at. There has never been a case of
suffering here, that could be remedied
by the means at hand, that was not
attended to. The surgeons have work.

sal of lack of means and facilities.
