Unless she Il q healthy mother. No
woman can. If the baby has drained
her vitality; if its care is tax; If, in
short, the baby is a burden instead of a
blessing, how can she enjoy itl She
loves it, but she cannot feed it. She
yearns for it, but has not the strength
to fondle it.
There is nothing more beautiful in the
world than healthy mother and her
healthy child. The madonna is the
highest reach of human art. In the
serene strength which art gives to the
typical mother and child there is distinct
denial of suffering and weakness as a
necessity of motherhood. But how few
women are there to whom motherhood
is naturally an abiding joy. In how
many cases a woman dates her loss of
health from the birth of her child To
all such suffering women DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription comes as a veritable
god-send. 1t prepares the mother for
her hour of trial, tranquilizes her nerves,
encourages her appetite, and brings her
restful sleep. 1t makes the baby's ad-
vent practically painless, and gives the
mother abundant strength to nurse and
nourish her child.
Every claim made for uFavorite Pre-
scription is supported by the testimon-
ials of wives and mothers, thousands in
number, and covering in their several
experiences the whole range of womanly
suffering. In a great number of cases
after the utter failure of all doctors and
medicines, DIR. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription, tried as a last resort, has eff
fected a perfect and permanent cure.
Sick women are invited to consult Dr.
Pierce by letter free. All woman1y con-
fidences held under the seal of strict
professional privacy. Address DIR. R. V.

DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets commend
themselves as family laxative. They
are easy to take, effective in results, and
their use does not beget the pill habit.
