TIE BABY.
A Burden or a Blessing.

When the baby comes into the house
it comes as burden or blessing. II
it is weak and sickly it becomes bur-
den for the mother by day and night.
If 1t is strong baby, bright and
healthy it becomes mutual Joy to its
parents and binds them closer togeth-
CT in affection.
There is no question as to the de-
STABILITY of a healthy baby, whose
winning ways and merry prattle bring
a new element of joy into the home
life. Every woman desires to have
healthy, happy children. The reason
that so many women fail to realize
this desire is because they do not un-
derstand the intimate relation between
their own health and that of the child
which is born to them. To paraphraze
a line of familiar poem. it might
be said to mothers:
Laugh, and the child laughs with
you"
The childish meanings and cryfngs
are only echoes of the mothers feel
ings during that anxious time OF wait
ing, when, weak and suffering she
shrfnks from the coming hour OF her
trial. Motherhood rarely finds wo-
man ready for the great change which
the function entails. At this time she
should be at her best. Every force Of

" recommend Dr. Pierce's medicines
to all suffering women.
Hope for Every Woman
The encouraging feature OF such tcS-
timony as that Of Mrs. Leray, is this:
1t gives hope to even the worst sur
ferers from diseases peculiar to wo-
man. 1t shows once more what has
been proved in thousands OF cases, that
when medical skill has been exhausted
and all other medicines have failed,
"Favorite Prescription" has wrought
a perfect and permanent cure.
Many wonen who see the advertise
-ment of DR.. Pierces Favorite Prescrip-
ton, pass it by as being only one OF
a great class OF medicines effered for
womans use. They read DR.. Pierces
offer of free consultation by letter, and
associate it with the common offer OF
free medical advice made in connec-
ton with the advertisements of other
medicines. This fact needs to be i'm
pressed on every woman, that DIR.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription, by rea-
son of its long and wonderful record
of cures of diseases of women, stands
separate and apart from all other med
icines prepared for womans use. 1t
does not merely palliate. 1t does not
numb the feelings by Supplying mar
cotics. 1t positively cures disease. 1t
cures perfectly and permanently. 1t
cures when other medicines have abb
solutely failed and doctors proved en-
tirely helpless. No other medicine
has so great q record.
The free consultation by letter Of
fered by DR.. r. V. Pierce, is also be-
yond comparison in its value and adj
vantages over the offers of free med
ical advice made by men OF women
without medical education, without
medical experience and without the
professional or legal right to give med
ical advice. There is no other offer
of free medical advice which has be-
hind it sanatarium of national i'm
portance such as the Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N.
Y, founded by DR.. R. v. Pierce, and
presided over by him as it's chief con-
sulting physician. DR.. Pierce is a spe-
cialist in the treatment of woman's
diseases. He has gathered about him
a medical staff of nearly score of
similar specialists. These physicians
are treating various forms of diseases
of women every day This treatment
is not by letter alone. Women come
from all over the country to place
themselves under the care of DR..
Pierce and his staff. The extent of
this practice may be inferred from the
fact that in a little over thirty years
