The Crew. Of Woman
hood is Motherhood.

The crown Of womanhood is mother
hood. Bnt 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 SO many wom-
en- sink under tie strain OF motherhood Is
because they are unprepared. Is prcpar-
alton then required for motherhood? asks
the young woman. And every expert
enced mother answers --"YeS." FL un-
hesitatingly advise eXpectant mothers to
use DIR. Picrcc'S FavoritG Prescription
writes Mrs. Stephens. Tho reason for
this advice is that Dr. Piercc's Favoritc
Prescription is the best prcparatiyc for
the maternal function. No matter how
healthy and strong II woman may be,
she cannot use rFavorite Prescription
as a prcparativc 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 the use Of uFavorite Prescription"
For one thing its use makes the baby'S
advent practically painless. 1t has in
few brief hours. 1t has changed the
period OF anxiety and struggle into a
time OF case and comfort.

The anxious mother of the family Oft
entlmeS carries the whole burden of re-
spOnSibility SO far as the home medication
OF common ailments of the girls or boys
Is concerned. Tho cost of the doctors
visits is very often much too great. At
such times tho mother Is invited to writo
to DR.. Pierce, Of Buffalo, n. Y, for med
ical advice, which is given free. Cores
pondencc is held strictly confidential.
The ingredients of the rFavorito Pro-
scription" is a matter of public knowl-
edge, being printed on each separate
bottle wrapper.
Perfect safety Is assured with Doctor
Pierce's well known medicines because
no harmful ingredient is contained in
them. No alcohol, opium or harmful
narcotic is contained in the rFavorito
Prescription" Nearly forty years ago DR..
Pierce discovered that chemically pure
glycerine OF proper strength is better
solvent OF our native medicinal plants
than is alcohol. Besides glycerine is of
high nutritive value in building up
healthy f1eSh-much surprising cod liver
oil. The ingredients i'm rFavOrite Pre-
scription" beside the glycerine are Lady'S
Slipper root, Golden Seal root. Black Co
hosh and Blue CohoSh root, and Unicorn
root.
DIR. John Fyfe, Editor of the Depart
ment OF Therapeutics in THE ELECTIC
REVIEW says OF Unicorn root HelOntas
DiOtcd one Of the chief ingredients of DIR.
Pierce's Favorite Prescriptions:
"A remedy which invariably acts as q
uterine invigorator and always favOrs a
condition which makes for normal ac-
tivity of the entire system, cannot fail to
be Of great usefulness and of the utmost
importance to the general practitioner of
medicine. sin Hclonias we have medi-
cament which more fully answers the
above purposes than any other drug lUith
aDhich L am acquainted. In the treat
ment OF diseases peculiar to women it is
seldom that q case is seen which does not
present some indication for this remedial
agent"
Of another important ingredient Prof.
John King, Nj. D., says: vAs a pdrtus
.prGpdrdtOr, Blue COhOsh has enjoyed
well-merited reputation, for when used
by delicate women, or those who expert
ence painful labors, for several weeks pre-.
vious, 1t gives tone and vigor to all tho
parts engaged, facilitating its progress,
and relieving much suffering" Prof.
Hale teStities of women who have taken
Caulophyllum, all had pery easy ldbOis
and made good recoveries. Blue Cohosh
acts as an anti-abortive by relieving the
irritation upon which the trouble de-
ponds: He continues, at has been EN-
ployed to relieve irritation Of the repro
ductiue Orgdrts dependent on congestion.
1t controls chronic innammatory states
Of organs and gives tone in cases of de-
bility."
The foregoing arc only few brief ex-
tracts taken from among tho volumes
OF endorsements which the most eminent
medical writers havo given the ingredi-
ents entering into DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription.
"Favorite Prescription" is the only
medicine for women, the makers of which
are not afraid to print their formula on
the bottle wrapper, thus taking their pa
irons into their full confidence.
