WHEN 1 YloHsH IS NERVOUS WORRIED

Most women neglect their health,
and for this they pay the penalty.
ANY woman will find that neglect
does not pay. A little more at1en-
ton to health would brighten up her
life. If she asks her neighbors she
finds that DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription benefits a Wonan's whole
system. It not only acts upon the
troubles and weaknesses peculiar
to women, but is~an all-round tonic
that braces the entire body, ever
coming nervousness, sleeplessness,
headaches, dizziness and a run
down condition.
