for the great change which the func-
tion entails. At this time she SHOULD
be at her best Every force of nature
should rally to her support. She
should be strong in body, cheerful in
mind. There should be always smile
on her lips and a song in her heart as
she thinks that she is to be of those
who are blessed among women" But
as a general thing motherhood finds
woman at her worst instead of at her
best. She is weak of body, respondent
of mind and her heart is full of anxious
forebodings of the future.
Under proper conditions every moth
er may have healthy children. These
conditions have been realized by many
mothers who have used DR.. Pierce's
Favorte Prescription.
"A BIG, STRONG BABY"
81 am so thankful for what Doctd:
Pierce's Favorite Prescription has done
for me-" writes Mrs. John T. Smith, of
SLOGAN, b. c., Box So 1T helped me
through the trying months preceding
the birth of my baby. / have a big,
strong baby girl, the most healthy Of
all my three, and the Prescription
cured me OF a disease which was talk
ing away all my strength"
1t is often said jestingly, that the i'm
portant part of womans letter is
contained in a postscript. II is GER
tainly true of Mrs. Smiths letter that
the last sentence is the most important
from a medical point Of view. "It
cured me of a disease that was taking
away all my strength" The help dur
ing "the trying months preceding the
birth of my baby" and the big, strong
baby girl" are consequences of the
cure of the strength draining disease.
There are thousands of women whose
strength is being drained by disease,
who never realize how great that drain
is until they begin to live for two in
stead of one. There are thousands of
weak mothers of fretful children, who
will never know happiness In matern-
ity or bring into the world healthy
children until the diseases which drain
the strength are stopped. They can be
stopped by the use of DR.. PierCe's Fa-
vorite Prescription This is a woman's
medicine. 1t is not a re-all, but it is
designed solely to cure those diseases
which are peculiar to women. In the
cure of these diseases it is without a
rival. 1t regulates the periods, dries
disagreeable and weakening drains,
heals Inflammation and liberation and
cures female weakness. 1t makes
childbirth practically painless and
gives strength to nursing mothers.
