these discussions of the ailments peculiar
to women took place twenty years earlier
in life. If little of the prudery of mod
ern society were banished, SO that young
women talked these subjects over among
themselves, there would be less suffering
among women in middle life.
Good health Is the best endowment that
a human being can have. Good general
health among women is largely dependent
upon good local health In womanly way.
Through ignorance and neglect it has be
come such an ordinary, common place
thing for women to suffer from weakness
and disease of the delicate and Important
feminine organism, that many women have
come TO look upon these troubles as an
unavoidable inheritance. This Is mis-
take. Ali troubles of this nature may be
cured in the privacy of the home, without
undergoing the obnoxious examinations
and focal treatment" insisted upon by
the average physician. Dr.. pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription gives health, elastic
strength and vitality to the sensitive organs

liberation and frees from pain. 1t tones

It makes woman healthy and strong, and
thus prepares her for healthy wifehood,
