HOW SIZE KEEPS BEAUTIFUL.
The Mystery Solved.

Like the flowers that bloom in the
sp.ng the young girl Just budding into
womanhood is an inspiring sight and
she is usually beautiful ii she is per
fectly healthy. She stays beautiful!
Just so long as her health and constitu-
ton remain good. Let her be nervous,
have backache, sleepless nights, and
how soon does it take for wrinkles,
crows feet and dark circles to appear
in the face? Her cheeks were rosy
until she began to suffer from woman's
weaknesses and the constantly recur-
ring pains and drains brought her
quickly from the beautiful age to the
premature middle age. 1t was not
meant for women to suffer so--it is
due to our unnatural, but civilized
methods of living, and to the fact that
SO many neglect those small ills which
soon lead up to larger ones. Nothing
SO drags a woman down as those con
stantly recurring periods when she
suffers more and more from chronic
condition that can be easily cured. No
woman should take an alcoholic com
pound for that will disturb digestion,
and the food is quickly compacted and
becomes hard and tough in contact
with alcohol, rendering the food in
digestble. She must go to Nature for
q cure. The native Indians of early
times were far from wrong when they
called marvelously effective medi-
cinal plant rSquaw oot"-what the
physicians of our day called Caulophyl-

Having made specially of the diseases
of women in the early sixties DR.. Pierce
soon found that a glyceric extract OF
these roots with Hydrastis or Golden
Seal and Lady's Slipper root, combined
in Just the right proportions, made the
very best tonic and cure for the distress
sing complaints of women. Where
women suffered from backache. weak
ness, nervousness and lack of sleep, it
was usually due to functional trouble,
therefore this prescription directed a,
the cause cured 9S per cent. of such
cases. That is why DR.. Pierce soon
put it up in form easily to be pro-
cured all over the United States.
Aching from head to foot-that is
the condition that afflicts some women
at stated periods-backache, dizziness,
and pains almost unbearable. An hon
est and safe remedy which no woman
can afford to lose the opportunity OF
irving for the cure of these distressing
complaints which weaken woman's
vitality is DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription. DR.. Pierce not only assures
you that his "Favorite Prescription is
honestly made, but he lets you know
just what it contains.
