A fear clutches at the heart of the
mother that her own little one may not
live long. She breads its second sum-
mer, or that it may never wake from its
sound sleep. All mankind loves a
mother-loves to see a mother love her
child A baby and its mother are in

takes DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription,
a tonic for women that DIR. R. V.
Pierce invented over a third of a cen
fury ago for wornen's ills. This is a
vegetable tonic, made only of barks,
roots and herbs, which puts the female
system into perfect, healthy action. Be-
fore baby's coming it is just the uterine
tonic that puts the womanly system into
a proper condition to make the birth
painless and to insure healthy child.
Many mothers of families in the United
States have reason to be grateful to the
person who recommended DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. It does not cure
eczema, catarrh in all its forms, nor
heart disease, for it is put up for the
single purpose Of curing disease pecu-
liar to women. 1t has a reputation of
over thirty-eight years of cures, and has
sold more largely on this continent than
any other medicine for women. Another
point in its favor it does not contain a
single drop of alcohol nor of any mar
cotic. It IS purely vegetable. An alco-
holic compound for women is something
no woman should take. Won1anly
weakness will always bring on nervous
irritability and alcohol is the very worst
thing in the world for her to take in this
nervous condition. What the woman
needs is a vegetable tonic which will
build up her delicate system and bring
about a healthy tone. This DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription does, as no other
remedy can 1t cures the drains and
weaknesses of women, and the nanufac-

Many people owe their present good
health to the fact that they consulted
DR.. Pierce by letter, giving him all pos

good medical advice zOhTch cost them

write to Dr. R. V. Pierce, the founder
of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical In
