A more pitifui sight than 4 mother and
her child, both captives and shackled in
dungeon. could not we'll be imagined.
There are thousands OF mothers and their
babes who lie shackled by disease in the
dungeon of death.
Without knowing il, or having the faint
est comprehension Of II, the fault lies with
the mother. Too many women enter upon
the responsibilities of wifehood and moth
erhood while suffering from weakness and
disease of the delicate and important or
gaus that make wifehood and motherhood
possible. A woman who suffers in this way
cannot be capable wife and a competent
mother. Before entering upon the duties
and responsibilities Of these positions, she
should see to it that her health, both gen
eral and local, Is thoroughly restored. Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the best
of all medicines for this purpose. II acts
directly on the sensitive organs concerned,
making them strong. healthy and vigorous
Il promotes regularity OF the functions,
allays irritation and inflammation, heals
ulceration. checks unnatural and exhaust
ing drains and soothes pain. 1t tones ana
builds M the shattered nerves. IL turns
the dangers and pains Of maternity into
safety and ease. Ii is a medicine that IS
intended for this one purpose only and IS
good for no other. Dealers sell It ana no
honest dealer will suggest a substitute.
eDr Pierce's Favorite Prescription did me so
much good that to-day l am well again ana
