FAMOUS

Doctor R. V. Pierce, whose picture
appears above, was not only success
full physician, but also profound
student Of the medicinal qualities Of
Natures remedies, roots and herbs,
and by close observation Of the meth
DDS used by the Indians, he discovered
their great remedial qualities, espe-
cially for weaknesses Of women, and
after careful preparation succeeded In
giving to the world remedy which
has been used by women with the best
results for half century. DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is still in great
demand, while many other 80 called
"cure-alls" have come and gone. The
reason for Its phenomenal success is
because of It's absolute purity, and DR..

that Is claimed for the Favorite Pre-
scription as a regulator for the Ills
