A "Hopsless Case" Cured.
81 wish to add my testimony to hundreds of
Others as to the value of Dr. Pierce's medicines,
whites Mrs. Ida M De Ford, of Latona Hubbard
Co., NnR. "Have doctored with a great manv
physicians, ~-some specialists; have twice been in
a hospital for treatment. Ny case has been re-
garded as hopeless one, and they knew not what
the trouble was. Heart was bad; stomach all out
of order tired out, severe pains in all parts of the
body; sinking spells and nearly every ailment
woman could have. I took many bottle of diff
ferent patent medicines without effect I began
taking DR.. Perce's Favorite Prescription, and ten
months afterward l gave birth to ten pound boy

could bear child. Both the baby and myself were
strong, and got along splendidly-thanks to your
medicine do my own work and feel very much
encouraged. 1 wish all suffering women would
thoroughly try your 'Favorite Prescription"
Cures such as Mrs. De Ford's are not uncommon
when "Favorite Prescription" is given fair and
faithful trial The noteworthy fact is that when
specialists and surgeons have failed, "Favorite Pre-
serption" effects cure; when all physicians stated
as fact that child-bearing was impossible, "Favor
tie Prescription" put them to utter shame. The
successful cures brought about by the use of Dr.
Pierce's Favorte Prescription are due to the fact
that it makes weak women strong and sick women
we'll Weakness and sickness are the chief hind
RANGES to motherhood. When strength and health
are restored the wife is lifted to the normal plane
of womanhood and maternity becomes at once her
privilege and her pleasure.
