Women Who Wear Well.

II is astonishing how great a change a
few years of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage ands
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of its freshness and the form of its
fairness.
AS surely as the general health suffers
when there is arrangement of the health
of the delicate womanly organs, so surely
when these organs are established in
health the face and form at once witness
to the fact in renewed comeliness. Nearly
a million women have found health and
happiness in the use of DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription. Tt makes weak wom-
en- strong and sick women well. Ingredi-
ents on label-contains no alcohol or
harmful habit-forming drugs, made
wholly of those native American, medic
inal roots most highly recommended by
leading medical authorities of all the sew
eral schools of practice for the cure of
woman's peculiar ailments.
For nursing mothers, or for those broken
down in health by too frequent bearing of
children, also for the expectant mothers,
to prepare the system for the coming of
baby and making its advent easy and
almost painless, there is no medicine quite
SO good as "Favorite Prescription" 1t
can do no harm in any condition of the
system. 1t is most potent invigorating
tonic and strengthening nervine nicely
