The bitter trail In q woman's life Il 20
be childless. Who can tell how hard the
struggle may have been ere she learnt TO
resign herself 70 her lonely lot? The ABB
sence OF this link to bind marital life
together, the absence OF this one pledge
TO mutual affection Is . common disap-
pointment. Many unfortunate couples
become estranged thereby. Even IL they
do not drift apart, one may read the whole
extent OF their disappointment In the eyes
on the children OF others. To them the
largest family does not seem too numerous.
In many cases OF barrenness or child
lessness the obstacle to collaborating is
easily removed by the cure OF weakness on
the part OF the woman. Dr. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription has been the means OF
restoring health and fruitfulness to many
. barren woman, to the great Joy OF the
household. In other, but rare cases. the
obstruction 10 the bearing of children has
been found to be OF a surgical character,
but easily removable by painless operative
treatment at the Invalids' Hotel and Sur
gical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y, over which
DIR. Pierce of the rFavorite Prescription"
fame presides. In all cases where chill
dren are desired and are absent an effort
should be made to find out the real cause,
since II is generally so easily removed by
proper treatment.
In all the various weaknesses, displace-
blltating. catarrhal drains and in all
cases OF nervousness and debility, DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the most
efficient remedy that can possibly be used.
1t has to its credit hundreds OF thousands
of cures more In fact than any other
remedy put up for sale through druggists,
especially for woman's use. The ingredi-
ents OF which the "Favorite Prescription
Is composed have received the most
positive endorsement from the leading
medical writers on MdteTid Medicd of all
the several schools of practice. All the
ingredients are printed In plain English
on the wrapper enclosing the bottle, so
that any woman making use of this
famous medicine may know exactly what
she is taking. DIR. Pierce takes his pa
tients into his full confidence, which he
can afford TO do as the formula after
which the rFavorite Prescription is
made will bear the most careful exam
ination.
pr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are the
best and safest laxative for women.

The widespread interest i'll the Pure
Foot Law, which went into effect Janu-
airy +, has reached apparently every class
in she community. The grocers, the
butchers. even the candlestick makers
are compelled now by Uncle Sam to take
the people into their confidence and tell
them Just what they are selling Uncle
Sam has left very little TO chance. The
strong arm of the Washington Govern
ment has compelled manufacturers to
state plainly on their labels what adulter-
ants have been used in preparing the
package.
Perhaps no other class of manufacturers
has been more deeply stirred than the
makers of "patent medicines. They
are now compelled by law to state on
their labels the names Of dangerous drugs
used IN the preparation of their remedies.
Like all laws that work for the benefit of
the public, the Pure Food Law has made
some manufacturers do some lively
squfrining, while it has brought Joy to
the hearts of those who were giving the
people a square deal.
Mr.. Stanard. the wen known druggist,
in discussing this point with our repre-
sentative. made some comments SO inter
esting that they are reproduced here for
the benefit of our readers.
There's good deal of satisfaction in
knowing you've done right" said Mr..
Stanard, "but there's much more in hav-
ing that fact RECOGNIZED.
"Four years ago we were one OF the
thousand leading druggists who met to-
gether TO discuss the patent medicine
situation. All Of us expressed dissatisfac-
ton at having TO sell remedies whose for
mulas were unknown to us. AS servants
of the public. Of course, we sold whatever
our trade called for. But we wanted to
be able to sell our customers at least ONE
line of patent medicines whole formulas
we KNEW, and THEY knew-remedies
whose reliability and efficiency we could
back mp with our own names and reputa-
tons.
"The Rexall Remedies were the out
