The Grown Of Woman
hood is Motherhood.

The crown OF womanhood is mother
hood. But uneasy lies the head that
wears the crown or anticipates this cor
onation, when there is lack OF wOmanly
strength to bear the burdens of maternal
dignity and duty. And how few women
come to this critical time with adequate
strength. The reason why 50 many wom-
en- SILK under the strain Of motherhood Is
because they are unprcpared. Is prepar-
alton thea required for motherhood? asks
the Young woman. And every expert
enced mother answers -rGeS." FL I'M

use DR.. Plerce'S FavOritc Prescription
writes Mrs. Stephens. The reason for
this advice is that DIR. Picrcc's Favorite
Prescription is the best preparative for
the maternal function. No matter how
healthy and strong q woman may be,
she cannot use "Favorite Prescription"
as a preparativc for maternity without
gain of health and comfort. But it is
the women who are not strong who best
appreciate the. great benefits received
from tho use OF "Favorite Prescription"
For one thing its use makes the baby'S
advent practically painless. 1t has in
many cases reduced days of suffering to
Il few brief hours. 1t has changed the
period OF anxiety and struggle into a
time OF ease and comfort.
