Woman is often referred to by man as
doubling his joys and halving his sor-
rows" That may be complimentary but
it would seem to be rather hard on the
woman. For in plain terms it means that
where things are going well with the man
his wife makes them go better But
when things are going i'll with him, he ex-
poets the wife to share half his burden.
And there's more truth than poetry in
this presentation of masculine selfshness
Men don't appreciate the fact that the
strain of motherhood alone is burden
bigger than all the loads that rest upon
male shoulders. They see the wife grow
thin, pale, nervous and worn without a
thought that she is over burdened.
Among the pleasant letters received by
DR.. Pierce are those from husbands who
have walked up before it was too late to
the crushing burdens laid upon the wife,
and in the search for help have found in
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription a
restorative which has given back to the
mother the health of the maiden and the
maiden's happiness "Favorite Prescrip.
