GirlhOOd, WOmanhOod, Motherhood.

The first lesson that the young girl
has of ~womanhood Is usually q painful
one. She learns to know what head
ache means, and backache, and some
times Is sadly borne down by this new
experience OF life.
All the pain and misery which young
girls commonly experience at such a
time may, in almost ev " instance, be
entirely prevented or cured by the use
OF DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
1t establishes regularity. 1t tones up
the general health, and cures headache,
backache, nervousness, chorea, or st.
Vitus's dance, and other consequences
OF womanly weakness or disease.
MoTHER OF THE FAMILY.
The anxious mother of the family
oftentimes carries the whole burden Of
responsibility 40 far as the home med
ication OF common ailments OF the girls
or boys are concerned. The cost OF the
DOCTORS visits are very often much too
great. At such times the mother is
invited to write to DR.. r. V. Pierce, of
Buffalo, n. Y, for medical advice,
which is given free. Correspondence is
held sacredly confidential.

very same diseases for which this "Pre-
scription" is advised.
MOTHERS LOVE.
A mothers love is so divine that the
toughest man cannot help but appre-
ciate it as the crown Of womanhood
However, motherhood is often looked
forward to with feelings OF great dread
by most At such times a
woman is nervous, ~dyspeptic, irritable,
and she is in need OF a uterine tonic
and nervine, a strength builder to fit
her for the ordeal. No matter how
healthy or strong q woman may be she
cannot but be benefited by taking DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription to prepare
for the event. 1t makes childbirth easy
and often almost painless.
