harmful, or habit-forming drug is to be found in the list of its ingredients print ed on each bottle wrapper and attested under oath as complete and correct.
 In any condition of the female system pr. Pierce's Favofite Prescription can do only good-never harm. Its whole effect is to strengthen, invigorate and regulate the whole female system and especially the pelvic organs. When these are deranged in function or affect ed by disease, the stomach and other organs of digestion become sympatheti- cally deranged, the nerves are weak ened, and long list of bad, unpleasant symptoms follow. Too much must not be expected of the "Favorite Prescrip- tion." It will not perform miracles; will not cure tumors-no medicine will. It ,oiH often prerent them, if taken in time, and thus the operating table and the surgeons knife may be avoided.
 Doctors All Agree. The most emi- nent writers on Materia Medico, whose works are consulted as authorities by physicians of all the different schools of practice, extol, in the $ most positive terms, the curative virtues of each and every ingredient entering into Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. In fact it is the only medicine, put up for sale through druggists for the cure of nasal catarrh, throat, laryngeal, and bronchial affections attended by finger ing, or hang g-on-coughs that has any such professional endorsement-worth more than any amount of lay or non- professional testimonials.
 Do not expect too much from the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery. It will not work miracles. It will not cure consumption in it's ad- vanced stages. No medicine will. Nor is the rDiscovery" so good for sudden attack of acute cough, but for the lingering, obstinate, hang-on-coughs, accompanYing catarrhal, throat, 1Sryn. zeal and bronchial affections, t fs mosG efhcacious remedy In cases ac- companied with wasting of flesh, night sweats, weak stomach and poor digestion with faulty assimilation, and which, 4 neglected or badly treated are apt to lead to consumption, the "Discovery" has proven wonderfully successful in effecting cures.
 The formula is printed on every wrapper ofu Golden Medical Discovery" attested as to correctness under oath, and you can't afford to accept any substitute of unknOUn composition for this non-Secret remedy no matter what selfish interests may prompt the dealer to urge such upon you. In fact it is an inSult to yottr intelligence for him to do so. You know what you want and it is his place to supply that want.
 Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are the original ULittle Liver Pills " first put up by old Dr. Pierce over 40 years ago. Much initiated, but never equaled. They cleanse, invigorate and regulate stomach, liver and bowels, curing bil- iousness and constipation. Little sugar coated granules-e to take as candy.
 Dr. Pierce may be consulted by letter free of charge. Address pr. R. V. Pierce, Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y.

Few young women appreciate the shock of the system through the change which comes with marriage and motherhood. Many neglect to deal with the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak nesses which too often come with mar riage and motherhood, not understand ing that this secret drain is robbing the cheek of it's freshness and the form of its fairness.
