What ID the Cause of
Backache?
BY DOCTOR CORNELL

: Backache Is perhaps the most COM
mon ailment from which women suf-
fer. Rarely do you find anybody free
from II. Sometimes the cause Is OBJ
scure, but DR.. Pierce. of Buffalo, N. Y,
a high medical authority, says the
cause Is very often a form Of catarrh
that settles in the delicate membranes
Of the feminine organs. When these
organs are inflamed, the first symp-
tom is backache, accompanied by bear
ing down sensations, weakness. I'M
healthy discharges, irregularity, pain
full periods, irritation, headache and
q general rundown condition. Any
woman In this condition is to be pit
led, but pity does not cure. The
trouble calls for DR.. Plerce's Favorite
Prescription, which Is a separate and
distinct medicine for women.
1t is made of roots and herbs put up
without alcohol or opiate of any kind, for
DIR. Pierce uses nothing else in his pre-
scription. Favorite Prescription is a nat
ural remedy for women, for the vegetable
growths of which it is made seem to have
been intended by Nature for that very
purpose. Thousands Of girls and women,
young and old, have taken it, and thousands
have written grateful letters to DR.. Pierce
saying it made them well. In taking
Favorite Prescription, it is reassuring to
know that it goes straight to the cause of
the trouble. There is but one way to
overcome sickness, and that is to overcome
the cause. That is precisely what Favor.
