To look ones best and feel one 5
best is to enjoy an inside bath each
morning to flush from the system the

absorbed into the blood Just as coal,
when it burns, leaves behind a GER

and drink taken each day leave in the
alimentary organs a certain amount of
indigestibe material. which If not
eliminated, form toxins and poisons
which are then sucked into the blood
through the very ducts which are in

sustain the body.
If you want to see the glow of
healthy bloom in your cheeks, to see
your skin get clearer and clearer, you
are told to drink every morning upon

A WOMAN'S TORTURE

No ingenuity of barbarism no
devilish invention of the masters of
torture during the time of the Spanish
inquisition ever devised an agony so
intense, so persistent, so long-endur-
ing, so nerve-harrowing as that which
is suffered day after day by the women
whose distinctly feminine organism is
deranged or diseased. There are three
trying times in every woman's life:
1st-when girlhood blossoms into
womanhood; 2d-when motherhood
is achieved 3d-the change.
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription was
devised to make these three periods
safe and painless by restoring to vigor-
GUS health the organs involved. It
soothes, heals, nourishes. 1t gives
Nature just the help it needs. It is
the only ready-prepared medicine de-
vised by a regularly graduated ply
stefan and skilled specialist in the
diseases of women.
You know what you are getting with
this prescription of Doctor Pierce's,
because it's extracted from native
roots by using glycerine-no alcohol
or narcotics. The ingredients pub
lished on wrapper and free to the
world.
Nervous and Rundown.
Mrs. KATE PEARcE, 1874 S. Cedar
Street, Ottawa, Kans., says: III was
very nervous and all rundown, and
my aunt got me to take DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription because it had
helped her so much. I took only two
bottles of it when was entirely cured.
1t is a splendid medicine.
"My whole family used the Pleasant
Pellets whenever any one needed a
cathartic. They certainly act fine.n
