But 1t is not SO much the purpose of this brief article to advocate the just rights and privileges due to the women of this country, although 1t has afforded the writer great pleasure to pen the fore going brief tribute to their worth and just deserts, as it is to call attention to the fact that when broken down in health and strength by over-work, the too frequent bearing of children. the never ending toil, worry and care of the household, or by whatever may over tax the strength and delicacy of her sensitive system, there is oas, tried and proven, safe remedy upon which she may rely to regain health, strength and the power to fully enjoy life.
 That remedy is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription--a remedy made wholly from the roots of native forest plants which have been proven to be most of woman's peculiar weaknesses, period ical pains, irregularities, wasting and weakening catarrhal, pelvic drains and kindred ailments. 1t is a remedy, the makers of which print it's formula on every bottle-wrapper and attest sts com pleteness assd correctness Mader oath; a remedy devised and adapted to woman,s delicate constitution by an educated physician-an experienced specialist in woman's diseases; a remedy, every inc gredient which haa received the writ ten endprsepsnt of tAe most eminent msdical gritess of all theeeveral schools of practice foA the cureNQf woman's peculiar diseaaas; remedy (which has more bona-fsde cures to it's cfAdit than any other sold by AruggistAf foAs0man's special requirements af6Alfep oAly s2ne which contains no alcohol iNNR make up "
 Delicate, weak, nervous women should especially ehun the use of alcoholic medicines which, from their stimulat- 'ng and exhilerating effects may seem, for time, to do good, but which, from the inevitable effects of the alcohol in shrinking up the red corpuscles of the blood, are sure to do great and lasting harm in the long run. Besides they beget 8 craving for stimulants which is most deplorable. wFavorite Prescrip- tionn is the one remedy for woman's ills which contains no alcohol.
