Some women are born stronger than
others. Some are born with what Is
called constitutional weakness" 1t
is easier for some women to retain
health and strength than it Ia for
others Some seem able to do any
thing they like, whenever they
like without serious results. Still,
there is no ason why women should
not enjoy perfect health. Those who
do not, need only take the proper
precautions and the proper remedy
to become perfectly well and strong.
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
will cure any arrangement of the dis
tinctly feminine organism. It is alb
solutely certain. There are some who
have neglected themselves SO long
that q complete cure is next to inn
possible, but even these will find
comfort and improved health in the
use of of the "Favorite Prescription
It has cured hundreds of women who
have received no relief whatever from
years of treatment with good physi-
clans. 1t is absolutely unique in the
history of medicine. Such a remedy
can be discovered only once. There
is nothing in the world like 1t, nor has
there ever been. Its sales exceed the
combined sales of ali other medicines
for women.
