Girls With Beautiful Faces
or Graceful Figures

American girls have a worldwide
reputation for beauty, but, at the same
time, there are girls in our cities who
possess neither beauty of face nor
form, because in these instances they
suffer from nervousness, the result of
disorders OF the womanly organism.
At regular intervals they suffer so
much that their strength leaves them;
they are so Frustrated that it takes days
tor them TO recover their strength. Of
course, such periodic distress has its
bad effect on the nervous system. The
wlthered and drawn faces, the dark
circles and crows feet about the eyes,
the straight figure without those
curves which lend so much TO feminine
beauty are the unmistakable signs Of
womanly disorders.
When girl becomes a woman. when
a woman becomes a mother. when
woman passes through the changes of
middle life, are the three periods of
lie when health and strength are most
needed to Withstand the pain and
distress often caused by severe organic
disturbances.
At these critical times women are
best fortified by the use of DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. an old remedy
OF proved worth that keeps the entire
female system perfectly regulated and
III excellent condition.
Mothers, if your daughters are weak.
lack ambition, are troubled with head
aches, lassitude and are pale and
siclIly, DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
tion is just what they need TO surely
bring the bloom of health to their
cheeks and make them strong and
healthy.
If you are sufferer. if you dauqh-
ter. mother sister need help, get DR.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription in LIQUID
or tablet form. Then address DIR. Pierce
