One such husband thus relates his ex-
perience
uI take pleasure in writing you to let
you know about your Favorite Prescrip-
tion,'" says Mr.. T.. L. Fricke, of Peters
burg, Menard Co., Ills, Box 367. uMy
wife had been sick nearly all her life,
and after trying everything could think
of made up my mind to try Favorite
Prescription | sent to Chicago and got
six bottles, which my wife took, a table
spoonful three times a day, until the
baby came. She felt better after taking
the first bottle, and when baby was born
he weighed nine and a half pounds.
To-day he is six months old and weighs
twenty-five pounds. He is as good
child as any one could wish. The doctor
says he is as healthy as any baby could
be, and also the doctor says your Favor
ite Prescription was the cause OF such
healthy baby. / felt / owed you this
much for the good you did my wife and
for my own happiness"
HIS "BETTER HALF"
The reference to the wife as the
ubetter half" is made sometimes half
humorously. But in his heart every
man feels that the old phrase expresses
fact. When the wifeis sick the whole
fabric of home totters to its fall. When
the wife is confined to her bed the hus-
band leads half life, life from which
the sunshine and laughter have been
taken away. 1t is not to be wondered
at therefore. that husbands express their
gratitude for the cures which follow the
use of DIR. Picrces Favorite Prescription.
What a change from sickly bed-ridden
wife, helpless and miserable, to. wife
who is once more able TO "guide the
house" in health and happiness.
cMy wife was afflicted with uterine
trouble for several years." writes Mr..
J. c. Day, Of Little Britain, Lancaster
Co., Pa, oand in November, 1893, the

treated her for about two months or 90,
but there was but little improvement. l

Never does a man feel so helpless as
when he looks upon the suffering of the

Is often the case, he has exhausted every
means at his disposal in the vain effort
to restore his wife to health, his despair
almost equals her suffering. There are
husbands who have passed through this
experience and have found a way to be
helpful to their wives when physicians
