1t stands alone. DIR. Pierce's Favorito
Prescription is the only medicine for
| woman's peculiar weakness and affec-
| tons, all the ingredients OF which are
! printed upon the bottle-wrapper in plain
| English, SO that all who take it may
| know exactly what they are using.
! A further reason for the unprecedented
| popularity Of the rFavorite Prescription"
| OF DIR. Pierce for the special use of women
| is to be found in the fact that it contains
| not a drop of alcohol. He does not be-
leve that an alcoholic compound is bene-
| fetal for those affections peculiar to
women because the after-effect of spirtu-
Gus wines or alcoholic medicines is harm
| full for weak. invalid, nervous women.
