 Nursing mothers and -burdened women in all stations of life, whose vigor and vitality may have been un- dermined and .broken-down by over work, exacting social duties, the too frequent bearing of children, or other causes, will find in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription the most potent, invigorat- ing, restorative strength-giver ever de- vised for their special benefit. Nursing mothers will find 1t especially valuable in sustaining their strength and promote ing an abundant nourishment for the child. Expectart mothers too will find it a priceless boon to prepare the sys- tenn for baby's coming and rendering the ordeal comparatively painless. It can do no harm in any state, or con- dition of the female system.
 Delicate, nervous, weak women, who suffer from frequent headaches, back ache, dragging-doan distress low down in the abdomen, or from painful or ir- regular monthly periods, gnawing or distressed sensation in stomach, dizzy or faint spells, see imaginary specks or spots floating before eyes, have disagree able pelvic catarrhal drain, prolapsus, anteversion or retroversion or other |.displacements of womanly organs, from weakness of parts, will, whether they experience many or only few of the above symptoms, find relief and a per- manent cure by using faithfully, and fairly persistently, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
 Both the above mentioned medi- cines are wholly made up from the glyceric extracts of native, medicinal roots. The processes employed in their manufacture were original with Dr. Pierce, and they are carried on by skill- ed chemists and pharmacists with the aid of apparatus and appliances specially designed and built for this purpose. Both medicines are entirely free from alcohol and all other harmful, habit i forming drugs. A full list of their in- gredients is printed on each bottle- wrapper.
