Uncr0Yned Queens.

In the original meaning of the word
every woman was queen, for the word
queen meant woman. In monarchic
countries the wife of the king became
the queen-the woman. In America we
give the word back its original meaning
and every woman becomes queen.
The crown of womanhood is maternity.
Every healthy woman looks forward to
marriage. Every wife looks forward to
motherhood as the crown of wifehood.
And yet there are many uncrowned
queens; women who because the desire
for children is unrea1ized feel that they
have missed the full regal height of
womanhood.
1t is one of the sad features of large
bureau of medical correspondence such

as Is conducted by DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo,
n. Y, that it has to deal SO many times
with the disappointed hopes of women
who have failed of the happiness of
maternity. But it is one of the glad
privileges of this same medical cores
p0ndence bureau that in the greater
number of such cases, the obstacles to
maternity are overcome by the establish
ment of the womanly health.
Not infrequendy women write that
they feel perfectly well and cannot
understand why they are denied the
maternal happiness which they desire.
Such women learn that feeling well and
being well are widely different matters.
Few women are by nature debarred from
majority of cases DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, supplemented by his free
medical consultation by letter, are suf-
6cient to establish the womanly health
and remove the obstacles to maternity.
