have change OF scene and, above all ex-

What is. More Beautiful Than
Mothers Love?

Ny mother"


A mothers worries are many.
She sometimes forgets her own
bodily discomforts because of her
overpowering love for the child.
She becomes broken down, sleep
less, nervous, irritable and feels
tired from morning until night.
Many mothers of experience can
tell you that at such a time they
have been relieved, benefited and
strengthened and put into proper
health by taking prescription
which their mothers had told them
was the best womanS tonic and
nervine to be taken at such times.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
has enjoyed an enviable reputation
for over a third of a century. n
all that time it has sold more large
iy in the United States than any
other tonic for womans needs, and
today its sales are greater than ever.
DR.. Pierce made up this prescrip-
ton from native medicinal roots
without the use of particle of al
cohol and for the single purpose OF
curing those diseases peculiar ID
women and when there is lack Ct
womanly strength to bear the bur
dens of maternal duty. How few
women come to this critical time
with adequate strength. The reason
why so many women sink under the
strain of motherhood is because
they are unprepared Is prepare
ton, then, required for motherhood +?
asks the young woman. And cN-
cry experienced mother answers
yes" Il unhesitatingly advise ex-
pectant mothers to use Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription"
writes Mrs. J. w. G.. Stephens Of
Mia, Va. The reason for this al
vice is that DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription is the best preparative
for the maternal function. No Mat
ter how healthy and strong wom-
an may be, she cannot use Favor
lite Prescription" as preparative for
maternity without gain of health
and comfort But it is the women
who are not strong who best appre-
ciate the great benefits received
from the use of "Favorite Prescrip-
ton" For one thing its use makes
the baby's advent practically pain
less. 1t has in many cases reduced
days of suffering to brief few
hours. 1t has changed the period
of anxiety and struggle into a time
of ease and comfort.
DUTY WOMEN OWE THEMSELVES.
Good actions speak louder than
words" so, too, does the testimony
of many thousands of women during
a third of century speak louder
than mere claims not backed by any
such record of cures.
