its dangers and a large proportion of its
pain by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, which is the most marvellous
remedy ever discovered for restoring COM
plete organic health and strength to the
delicate special structure involved in moth
erhood. taken early during the prospective
time it makes the mother strong, energetic
and cheerful and carries her through the
period of trial with comparative comfort
and ease. 1t increases the baby's natural,
constitutional vigor and adds to the joys of
motherhood the supreme satisfaction of
