a firm and rounded form, and that steady
easy poise of the whole body which be-
tokens strong limbs and healthy nerves.
1t was the Reporters business to be curl
GUS; moreover, she was a woman; and re-
ceiving gracious permission to call on the
following day, she duly presented herself
armed with a hundred such questions as
only a woman can ask.
Yes, l nave five children" said the
hostess, with a tone of earnest happy pride;
hope I'll nave five more. l love every
one of them. They are good children too,
and a comfort TO me all the time"
You can't understand it of course, and
my friends wonde that ! keep my health
and strength and do my work; but that I
take care of myself is the reason. | never
used to be strong. ! was thoughtless and
careless. After my first baby came | was
all broken down and prayed hat l might
never have another, but l have learned
better and | am stronger now than | ever
was in my life"
Women break down because they go
without the little extra help they need to
tide them over hard places. When a wom-
an expects to become a mother she ought
20 be at her very best. But that is exactly
the time when most women feel weak and
sick and miserable. They grow melan-
choly and anxious as the time approaches
and when it comes they have no strength
or stamina of body or mind to go through
the ordeal"
N wonder they suffer and nearly die
sometimes, and are all broker down for
months or years. If they would take the
right care of themselves and strengthen
themselves in a natural way, they would
never suffer as they do; and instead of
d%reading to have children they would vel
come them as a real blessing"
1T is simply a case of a stitch in time
saves nine or rather nine hundred. A lit
tie natural enforcement at the time when
baby is expected will save months, perhaps
years of suffering and weakness. AT such
a time I always take DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription; it invariably gives me the ex-
ira strength and healthy nerve W which
a woman needs to bring her baby into the
world safely and comfortably"
1T is the most wonderful thing in the
world to build up a woman's nervous svs-
tenn and strengthen the special organism
of motherhood. 1t gives you the rccuper-
alive power that a woman cannot get in
any other way. 1t carries you through the
nursing time beautifully; it helps YOU to
nourish the baby and make him hearty and
strong too. My -four younger children are
the youngsters you ever saw. This
one grand 'Favorite Prescription has
made me the healthy, happy mother I am. "
u can tell you of a dozen women who
have had almost the same experience as
mine. | saw a letter written by Mrs. Jennie
J. Jackson, who lived at Fergussons Wharf,
a. Loan 'iShN W. va. lHSSt are neI
own words: 4 have enjoyed better health
since taking DR.. Pierce's medicine thar l
have since l have been married. | can
work hard all day and sleep we'll at night.
l was almost gone when l wrote to Doctor
Pierce three years ago. had uterine
trouble very badly, but, thank the Lord, l
am very well now. My doctor did not
have any faith in patent medicines but
he says, something has lone you good
l tried many different medicines and got
no better until l tried DR.. Pierce's medi-
cines. The first bottle gave me ease. I
have taken six bottles of Favorite Pre-
scription and l feel as well as ever in my
life, and can work hard all day and do as
much walking as l ever did. l was nothing
but a skeleton. | was so thin in flesh that
it hurt me to lie down"
81 think DR.. Pierce has lone more to-
ward making healthy, happy women than
any other man in this country"
