It’s a generous, support- ing tonic, and a quieting, soothing nervine —a legitimate medicine, not | @ beverage, free from alcohol and It corrects and eures, safely and surely, all those delicate derangements, weaknesses, and diseases peculiar to the sex. A remedy that does cure is one that can be guaranteed. That's what the proprietors of “Favorite Prescription” think. If it doesn’t give satisfaction, in every case for which it’s recommended, they'll re- fund the money. No other medicine for women is sold on such terms.
