HOW SHE KEEPS BEAUTIFUL.
The Mystery Solved.


Like the flowers that bloom in the
spring the young girl just budding into
womanhood is an inspiring sight and
she is usually beautiful if she is per-
fectly healthy. She stays beautiful
Just so long as her health and constitu-
ton remain good Let her be nervous,
have backache, sleepless nights, and
how soon does it take for wrinkles,
crows feet and dark circles to appear
in the face? Her cheeks were rosy
until she began to suffer from woman's
weaknesses and the constantly recur-
ring pains and drains brought her
quickly from the beautiful age to the
premature middle age. 1t was not
meant for women to suffer so--it 10
due to our unnatural, but civilized
methods of living, and to the fact that
so many neglect those small ills which
soon lead up to larger ones. Nothing
so drags a woman down as those con-
stantly recurring periods when she
suffers more and more from chronic
condition that can be easily cured. No
pound for that will disturb digestion,
and the food is quickly compacted and
becomes hard and tough in contact
with alcohol, rendering the food in
digestible. She must go to Nature for
a cure. The native Indians of early
times were far from wrong when they
called a marvelously effective medi-
cinal plant "Squaw root"-what the
physicians of our day called Caulophyl-
lum or Blue Cohosh. This and Black
Cohosh, Golden Seal, Lady's Slipper,
and Unicorn root, are important
ingredients OF wonderfully success
full remedy in modern times, namely,
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
Having made specially of the diseases
of women in the early sixties DR.. Pierce
soon found that a glyceric extract OF
these roots with Hydrastis or Golden
Seal and Lady's Slipper root, combined
in just the right proportions, made the
very best tonic and cure for the distres-
sing complaints of women. Where
women suffered from backache. weak
ness, nervousness and lack of sleep, it
was usually due to functional trouble,
therefore this prescription directed a,
the cause cured 90 per cent. of such
cases. That is why DR.. Pierce soon
put il up in form easily to be pro-
cured all over the United States.
Aching from head to foot--that is
the condition that afllicts some women
at stated periods s--backache, dizziness,
and pains almost unbearabe. An hon
est and q safe remedy which no woman
can afford to lose the opportunity OF
trying for the cure of these distressing
complaints which weaken woman's
vitality is DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription. DR.. Pierce not only assures
you that his rFavorite Prescription is
honestly made, but he lets you know
Just what it contains.
The best Of medical authorities recon-
mend and extol the virtues Of the above
ingredients in "Favorite Prescription"

utility in irrtative and congestive9 con-
slow, but its effects are permanent
"For headache, whether congestive or
from neuralgia or dysmenorrhea it Is
promptly curative.
Dr. John Fyfe, of Saugatuck, Conn.,,
Editor Of the Department Of Therapeu-
tics in THE ELECTIC REVIEW says of Uni
corn root (Helonids DiOicd) one of the
chief ingredients OF DR.. Pierce's Favor
ite Prescription: "A remedy which in
variably acts as uterine (womb) lnvig-
orator and always favors condition
which makes for normal activity of the

to be OF great usefulness and OF the

titioner Of medicine.n
rIn Helonias we have a medicament
which more fully answers the above
purposes than any other drug iCith Whtch
