NOTHING IS SGyRER

Than the effect of DR.. PieIce's Favorite
Prescription. 1t makes weak women strong,
sick women well. 1t regulates the periods,
stops disagreeable drains, heals infiamma-
ton and liberation, and cures female weak
ness. 1t prepares the wife for motherhood,
gives her vigor and physical strength, so
that the birth hour is practically painless.
1t is the best of tonics because it contains
no alcohol, neither opium, cocaine, nor any
other narcotic. For working women in the
home, store or schoolroom it is an invalu-
able medicine. It qniets the nerves, in
creases the appetite, and causes restful
and refreshing sleep. Nursing mothers
will find no tonic so beneficial to mother
and child as DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip.

is pretty simile and almost as perfect as

All women love flowers, and every woman
who grows them knows that their health
depends on daily care. Not alope are
water and sunshine necessary to the health
Of the plant. Their leaves and roots must
be guarded from the parasites which soon
destroy the flowers beauty and undermine
its life
If woman would care for herself as she
does for her plants she would preserve her
beauty and retain her strength far beyond
