tunity of trying for the cure of those
distressing complaints which weaken a
woman's vitality. DR.. Pierce not only
assures you that his vFavorite Prescrip-
ton" is honestly made, but he lets you
know just what it contains. It is now
nearly forty years since he put up this
prescription in form to be easily OBJ
tanned at every drug store. Previous

a non-alcoholic extract of medicinal
roots and plants whose curative proper
ties are generally recognized by the
medical profession throughout the
country, and whose harmless charac-
ter you can learn from any druggist or
physician. DR.. Pierce early learned
how to combine these Ingredients in
just the right proportion to make a
harmonious and efficient remedy. Ex-
perienced chemists under bis direction
use great care in the preparation OF
this non-alcoholic. compound.
