An affection confined to women must
have its cause in the womanly nature.
There is no doubt that diseased condl-
ton Of the delicate womanly organs, is
in general responsible for feminine nerv-
ousness and an undermined constitution.
The use Of DR. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton makes women happy by making
them healthy. There are no more cry
ing spells. "Favorite Prescription Is for
Inflammation and female weakness. 1t
makes weak women strong.
Middle 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 nearly so years just
the medicine. 1t is not a secret pre-
scription, for its ingredients are printed
ON the wrapper; it's temperance medi-
cine, a glyceric extract from roots.

It does not matter how many tum-
bles you have in this life, so long as
you do not get dirty when you tumble.
There is the greatest practical benefit
in making few failures in life. You
learn that which is of inestimable i'm
portance-that there are a great many
people in the world who are Just as
clever as you are and you very
soon find out If you have not found it
out before, that patience and tenacity
Of purpose are worth more than twice
their weight in cleverness.-Huxley.
