For woman's guidance is fouad in the

tion cures female weakness ard the dis
eases of the delicate womanly organs
which darken the lives of so many wonl-
EN- with suffering and sorrow. That ray
of light has penetrated many darkened
chambers where women moaned in mis-
cry, and has guided them out to health
and happiness. vFavorite Prescription
is not tonic, not a palliative, but pos.
tive cure for the diseases which are
peculiar to women. 1t gives vigor and
vitality. It banishes nervousness, head
ache, and all the aches which come from
diseased condition of the womauly
organs. A temperance medicine, it con-
tains neither alcohol nor narcotics.
