Girlhood, Womanhood, Motherhood.

The first lesson that the young cir
4 has of womanhood is usually 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 8
time may, in almost every instance, be
entirely prevented or cured by the use
of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
It establishes regularity. It tones up
the general health, and cures headache,
backache, nervousness, chorea, or st.

oftentimes carries the whole burden Of
responsibility so far as the home med
ication of common ailments of the girls

great. At such times the mother is
invited to write to DIR. r. ". Pierce, of

A 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 women. At such times a
woman is nervous, dyspeptic, irritable,
and she is in need of a uterine tonic
and nervine, strength builder to fit
her for the ordeal. No matter how
healthy or strong woman may be she
cannot but be benefited by taking DIR.
