Backache is perhaps the most COM

organs are inflamed, the first Symp-

a general rundown condition. Any
woman In this condition is to be pit
led, but pity does not cure. The
trouble calls for Dr. Pierce's Fayorite
Prescription which is separate and
distinct medicine for women.
It is made of roots and herbs put up
without alcohol or opiate of any kind, Tor
DIR. Pierce uses nothing else IN his pre-
scription. Favorite Prescription is 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
