rlADE FROr1 NATIVE ROOTS.
SAFE AND RELIABLE.

That the roots of many native plants,
growing wild in our American forests,
possess remarkable properties for the cure
of human maladies is well proven. Even
the untutOred Indian had learned the
curative value of some of these and
taught the early settlers their uses. The
Indian never liked work so he wanted his
Squaw to get well as soon as possible that
she might do the work and let him hunt.
Therefore, he dug rpapOOSe root for her,
for that was their great remedy for fe-
male weaknesses. DR.. Pierce uses the
same root-called Blue Cohosh-in his
SFavOrite Prescription" Skillfully COM
bined with other agents that make it
more effective than any other medicine in
curing all the various weaknesses and
painful arrangements peculiar to women.
Many afflicted women have been saved
from the operating table and the sur
geOn'St knife by the timely use of Doctor
Pierce'S FavOrite Prescription. Tender
ness over the lower pelvic region, with
backache, spells of dizziness, faintness,
bearing down pains or distress should not
go unheeded. A course of rFavOrite Pre-
ScriptiOn Will work marvellous benefit
in all such cases. and generally effect q
