The Baby q Burden.
nature should be strong in body, cheer
full in mind. There should be always
a smile on her lips and song in her
heart as she thinks that she is to be
of those who are blessed among wo-
men," But as a general thing moth
erhood finds woman at her worst in
stead of at her best She is weak of
body, respondent of mind and her
heart is full of anxious forebodings of
the future.
Under proper conditions every moth
er may have healthy children. These
conditions have been realized by many
mothers who have used DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription.
ga Big, Strong Baby"
Il am so thankful for what Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription has done
for me-" writes Mrs. John T. Smith, of
SLOGAN, B. c., Box so. ut helped me
through the trying months preceding
strong baby girl, the most healthy of
all my three, and the Prescription"
cured me of disease which was TAX
ing away all my strength.
1t is often said jestingly, that the
important part Of woman's letter is
contained in postscript. 1t is GER
tainly true of Mrs. Smiths letter that
the last sentence is the most import
ant from a medical point of view. 1T
cured me of disease that was taking
away all my strength" The help dur
ing the trying months preceding the
birth of my baby" and the "big,
strong baby girl are consequences of
the cure of the strength draining dis
ease
There are thousands of women
whose strength is being drained by
disease, who never realize how great
that drain is until they begin to live
for two instead of one. There are
thousands Of weak mothers Of fretful
children, who will never know happi-
ness in maternity or bring into the
world healthy children until the dis
eases which drain the strength are
stopped. They can be stopped by the
use of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton. This is a woman's medicine.
It is not a cure-all, but it is
designed solely to cure those diseases
which are peculiar to women. In the
cure of these diseases it is without a
rival. 1t regulates the periods, dries
disagreeable and weakening drains,
heals Inflammation and liberation and
cures female weakness. 1t makes
childbirth practically painless and
gives strength to nursing mothers.

cine has been to me-" writes Mrs.
