The crown of womanhood Is motherhood.
But uneasy lies the head that wears the
crown OF anticipates this coronation, when
there is lack of womanly strength to bear
the burdens of maternal dignity and duty
The reason why so many women sink under
the strain of motherhood is because they
are unprepared.
II unhesitatingly advise expectant moth
ers to use DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton, writes Mrs. J. w. G.. Stephens, of Mia,
Northumberland Co, Va. The reason for
this advice is that DIR. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription is the best preparative for the
maternal function. No matter how healthy
and strong a woman may be, she cannot
use "Favorite Prescription" as n prepare
tive for maternity without gain OF health
and comfort. But il is the women who are
not strong who best appreciate the great
benefits received from the use of "Favorite
Prescription" For one thing its use makes
the baby's advent practically painless. II
has in many cases reduced days of suffer
ing to a few brief hours. II has changed
the period of anxiety and struggle into a
time of ease and comfort.
