But instead of happiness she has found misery, struggled with it until struggle seemed useless, and at last has come to accept her misery as the “cross” laid up- on women who fove and marry. There is no real reason why almost every wife and mother should not enjoy sound health. The causes of her misery lie in diseases which affect the delicate, womanly organism, Disagreeable drains are carrving away the vital force, In- flammation has lighted its fire for slow torment, Ulceration is eating into the tender tissues. Female weakness is making life a daily martyrdom, Is it any wonder that the nerves are racked, that ap tite fails, and night, which should bring rest, brings only restless and troubled dreams? Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription cures the womanly diseases which undermine the general health. It dries the drains. puts out the fire of inflammation, heals the ulcerated tissues and cures female weakness. In a word, it makes weak women strong and sick women well. “Favorite Prescription’ is a true tem- perance medicine. Itcontains no alcohol, ueither opium, cocaine, or other narcotic. Sick and ailing women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter, free of charge. All correspondence strictly pri- vate and sacredly confidential. In a little more than thirty years Dr. Pierce, assisted by his staff of nearly a score of physicians, has treated and cured over haif a million women. Write, without fear or fee, to Dr. R. V.
