when it is borne on her that she is
Swallowed by that mighty mystery of
motherhood. There is no other mo-
ment so momentous in a woman's life
as this. A new look grows upon her
face, a new dignity clothes her. She
turns her face back to the mothers of
the world.
WHO to her cross and passion bring
Their Fellowship of suffering
But in her very hour of uplifting,
perhaps there falls upon her the shad-
ow Of coming suffering, and she
shrinks from it, anticipating the bur-
den almost too great for her strength.
For 1t is fact that the child which
should be blessing seems, sometimes,
curse. There is no strength to nurse
or nourish the little one, who tugs
vainly at the dry fountain of the
breast with eager, thirsty lips.
Why is it?
Why must women pay such a pain
full price for motherhood? It seems
unreasonable and unnatural that such
price should be enacted for the sim
pie fulfillment of the law of being.
For Nature echoes and enforces the

1t is unreasonable and unnatural
that women alone should be singled
out for such penalty Every living

confronted with maternity are unequal

children could be borne with little pain
and nursed with boundless pleasure if
the lost vital power could be restored
to women. All women needs is
strength and if she can obtain that. the
ordeal of maternity loses. all its terrors.
Tens of thousands of women have
found this strength in the use of DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. To give
strength and vigor 10 the delicate wo-
manly organs is the mission of this
medicine. Ii does this by a two-fOld
process. First, 1t cures the facilitating
drains, alterations, inhammations and
female weakness, which sap woman
strength. Next. il imparts a vigorous
vitality to the delicate organs, places
them in a condition of natural health.
so that Eli their functions being per-
formed naturally and BEAUTIFULLY, are
performed in Natures way with the
least expenditure OF strength, the least
strain, the least friction.
