No one will grieve because your lips ore

bodies of women on the rack with rope
and pulley until the very joints cracked.
Fancy All attendant saying to the tor
tured woman, "Please smile and look
pleasant"
And yet the woman cracked with
PAIN" is expected to smile through her
agony and to make home happy. She
can't do it. It is against nature. Gen.
orally speaking, the racking pains of i'll
health such as headache, backache and
clearing down pains" are related to de-
engagements or disorders of the organs
distinctly feminine. When this condition
is removed the general health is restored,
and with health comes back the smile
of happiness.
Any woman may regain her health at
home without offensive questionings OF
examinations by the use of DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. 1t cures per-
fectly all diseases and arrangements
peculiar to women. Sick women may
