for it helped me wonderfully. 1t kept
me from having a miscarriage. This

little one lived just about two months
and she was sick all the time. This
last baby is as plump and healthy
as any mother could wish. She is
about three weeks old now and is
gaining in flesh every day."
That letter offers a practical ex-
ample OF what 'Favorite Prescrip-
ton" has done for thousands of wo-
men. Almost all the letters received
by DIR. Pierce dwell on the wonder
ful absence of pain, the cheerful
spirits, the perfectly safe and com
Portable feeling as the hour of trial
draws near, and then the browning
surprise OF all, that the ordeal of the
birth hour is so short and almost
painless. But a good many other
women are pleased to tell the other

The secret of these changes in
health and appearance is easily ex-
planned. The general health Of wo-
men cannot be separated from the
local health of the delicate and sensi-
tive womanly organs. When these
are diseased, the whole health suf-
fers. The nerves are affected, and
the result is sleeplessness and restless,
ness. The functions of the stomach
are disturbed and the body suffer:
from lack of nutrition. Offensive
