inhabitants are all afflicted will
goitre, or "thick neck" Instead o
regarding this as a deformity they
seem to think it q natural feature o.
physical development, and tourists

offensive swelling. Thus form o
disease may become so common tina
it is regarded as a natural and neces
sary condition of life. Its is so, to /

eases of women. Every woman suf
fers more or less from irregularity
liberation, debilitating drains, o
female weakness, and this suffering
so common and so universal tina
many women accept it as a condition
natural and necessary to their sex
But it is a condition as unnaturaPas
is unnecessary. The use of DR.. Pierce
Favorite Prescription strengthens th
delicate womanly organs and regu
lates the womanly functions, 30 tina
woman is practically delivered froT
the pain and misery which eat up te
years of her life-between the ages {
fifteen and forty-five. "Favorite Pre-
scripti0n" makes weak women stron
and sick women well.
