A MAN OF INTEGRITY

A physician who reaches out to
benefit humanity leaves record be-
hind him that is worth while. Such
man was DIR. r. V. Pierce, founder of
the Invalids Hotel in Buffalo, N. Y.
He was an eminent physician, a lead
ing and honored citizen, known for his
honesty and executive ability. His
study along medical lines, and his
knowledge of the remedial qualities of
herbs and plants led to the discovery Of
his wonderful herbal remedy, Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription, the
woman's tonic which has had the
greatest number of supporters for the
past fifty years. 1t is just the herbal
tonic required If a woman is borne
down by pain and sufferings at regular
or irregular intervals, by nervousness
or dizzy spells, headache or backache.
Favorite Prescription can now be had
in tablet form as well as liquid at most
drug stores.
