The Many Mysteries
of Nature
BY L. W. BOWER. NJ. d.

You can take an onion seed and a pansy
seed, and plant them side by side in the
same spot Of ground. In one case, you
get an onion, with its peculiarly strong
odor, and in the other you get flower Of
rare beauty. You can plant a poppy seed
and get opium Ia dangerous, habit-forming
drug, or you can plant a rhubarb seed and
get something chat helps constipation. No
scientist, living OF dead, can explain these
mysteries of Nature. Behind the invisible
life germ in each seed is hidden the deep
secret that nobody understands Every
thing growing out of the ground seems in
tended for some Use in establishing natural
conditions. DIR. Pierce, of Buffalo, n. Y,
long since found out what is naturally best
for women's diseases. He learned it all
through treating thousands of cases. The
result of his studies was a medicine called
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. This
medicine is made of vegetable growths that
nature surely intended for backache head
ache, weakening drains, bearing-down
pains, periodical irregularities, pelvic in
and for the many disorders
common to women in all ages of life. DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is made of
'"us supper IuOtt DIdCh CoHosn ROOT, UNI"
corn root, blue cohosh root and Oregon
grape root. Women who take this stand
ard remedy know that in DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription they are getting a
'afe woman's tonic so good that druggists
sell 1t.
Favorite Prescription should have the
ull confidence of every woman in America
because it contains no alcohol and no mar
otto. DR.. Pierce knew, when he first
made this standard medicine, that whisky
nd morphine are injurious, and so he has
lways kept them out of his remediec.
