'Favorite Prescription in November and I had
a nice little baby girl in February following. I
was only in hard labor about one hour and was
up and dressed on the eighth day. I never had
the doctor with me at all; just the nurse and two
friends. This makes my second child; with the
FIRST one I did not take the Favorite Prescrip-
ton and the little one was sick all the time
and lived lust about two months. This last baby
is as plump and healthy as any mother could
wish. She is about three weeks old now and is

Mothers who suffer undue pain prior to
or succeeding the baby's birth are invited
to consult DR.. R. V. Pierce, byletter, abso-
lutely without charge. The great success
which has attended the careful methods
pursued by DR.. Pierce, has caused irnita-
tors to spring up, who make offers of free
advice, which they are not competent to
give, not being physicians. When you
are invited to write to a woman" ask
the simple question, els this woman a
physician?" You will find that she is
not, and does not, and dares not claim
to be, a physician. To offer such advice
is deceitful. To receive it is dangerous.
Prospective mothers should send for a
