FOOTUGHT FLASHES.

—all the p
chronic weaknesses peculiar to the
femalo fox. They go, with the use
of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip
tion. Periodical pains, weak back,
bearing-down sensations, nervous
prostration, all “femalo complaints“
are cured by it. It is purely vege
table and perfectly harmless — a
powerful general, as well as uterine,
tonic and nervine, imparting vigor
and strength to the whole system.
It costs you nothing if it fails to
give satisfaction. It’s guaranteed
to do so, in every case, or the money
is refunded. It can be guaranteed
—for it does it. No other medicine
for women is sold on such terms.
That’s tho way its makers prove
their faith in it. Contains no alco
hol to inebriato; no syrup or sugar
to derango digestion ; a legitimate
medicine, not a beverage. Purely
vegetable and perfectly harmless in
any condition of the system.

This is the way
with the Ball corset: if you
want ease and shapeliness,
you buy it—but you don’t
keep it unless you like it.
After two or three weeks’
wear, you can return it and
have your money.
'■ Comfort isn't all of it
though. Soft Eyelets, and
“bones" that can’t break or
kink—Ball’s corsets have
both of these.
