Favorite Prescription and the failure of
other medicines is the difference of ex-
perience. 1t is no experiment to use DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription for the
cure of womanly ills. Experience-the
experience of hundreds of thousands of
women proclaims that it makes weak
women strong and sick women we'll.
Thousands of grateful letters have
been written to DR.. Pierce. They cover
cures of every form of womanly disease
which is medically durable. They show
that vFavorite Prescription is perfect
regulator, that it dries enfeebling drains;
that it heals inflammation and liberation
and cures female weakness. They prove
"Favorite Prescription is the best pre-
parative for maternity; that it keeps the
mother strong and healthy and makes
the baby's advent practically painless.
Sick and ailing women are invited to
consult DR.. Pierce. by letter. Free All
