EXPERIENCES OF NOBLE
WOMEN IN EUROPE.

The horrible experiences that many
noble women in Europe have endured
during past few months can never be all
told. Here in America many women,
both young and old. have experienced
much misery and suffering.
MiddIe-aged women about to experience
that dreaded change Of life should profit
by the experience of thousands of noble
women who have gone through the same
period with little or no pain, misery, or
discomfort.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
and has been for over 40 years just the
medicine that every woman needs when
passing through the changing days. 1t
is not a secret prescription, for its in
gradients are printed on the wrapper;
it's a temperance medicine.
Not only does it build up the entire sys-
TEN and make it strong and vigorous
enough TO Withstand the organic disturb
ances, but it has a quietIng effect upon
the feminine organism that reduces the
distress to a minimum. For any woman
Iy ailment, disease or complaint, no mat
ter Of how long standing, we advise
anxious women to get DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription in either liGuid or tab
