the train had pulled out of Salinas than
it occurred TO him that the chance of a

ADVERTISEMENTS.

Thousands of men in lonely homes call
up the pictures of the loved and lost ones,
who might still be happy husbands with
healthy babies prattling at their knees, if
they had only been a little more observant
and thoughtful When a woman's COM
plexion gets pale and sa1low and her eyes
look heavy; when she is evidently nervous
and Respondent, and complains of pains
and aches and dragging down and burning
sensations; a wise man should know that
she is suffering from weakness or disease in
a womanly way. The thoughtful man who
realizes this will at once advise his wife to
consult some eminent and skillful special
ist. He will know that the average physi-
clan will insist upon the obnoxious exam
nations and local treatment so embarrass-
ing to modest, sensitive women. He should
know that these ordeals are unnecessary.
DR.. R. V. Pierce is an eminent and skil1ful
specialist who has been for thirty years
chief consulting physician to the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo,
N. Y. During that time, with the assist
ance of a staff of able physicians, he has
prescribed for many thousands of won-
en-. He is the inventor of a wonderful
medicine for the special weaknesses of
women, that cures in the privacy of the
home 1t is known as DR.. Plerce's Favor1te
Prescription 1t makes the delicate and
important organs that bear the burdens of
maternity strong, healthy and vigorous. 1t
corrects all irregularities and stops all de-
bilitating drains. Medicine dealers sell it
and have nothing Just as good.
Ark writes: My wife for perhaps four months
previous to the birth of our child took the Fa-
vorite Prescription This strengthened her en-
tire system, and child birth, to her, was very
easv, being attended with little pain. Our baby
Ruth is I3 months old and She has never been
