when 4 WOMAN 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 atten-

finds that DIR. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription benefits a woman's whole

troubles and weaknesses peculiar
to women, but is an all-round tonic

WORTH AM|LL|ON

Do YOU know what causes more
bodily ailments than anything else
Doubtless it is the failure OF the elm
ipatorv organs to throw off the ac-
cumulated refuse matter, which ref
use matter decays in the body, de-
yeloping and distributing its deadly
poison throughout the system. the
main eliminatory organ is the intes-
tines The food goes into the stom-
ach and intestines and there the ele-
ments which the body requires is
taken from the food. When all the
elements have been extracted from
the food the body needs, the refuse
should Immediately be eliminated.
But suppose the refuse is not elm
mated what then? 1t begins to de-
cav. and becomes foul, generating
poison, which is absorbed into the
blood. We become dizzy rundown
and life is made miserable. We are
self-poisoned because of this accum-
uIqted refuse matter.
We call this condition constipation.
is the greatest curse of the age.
II causes more human trouble than
any other one thing. 1t causes head
aches. loss of appetite, acid stomach,
auto-intoxication or self-noisonng,
dizziness and many other ills.
The usual remedy is to take ca
tfartics. You need not be reminded
of the consequences. Once begun it
must be continued The condition to
which the drug habit leads is fearful
nd useless.
