neglected to look after their health in
womanly way. The health of a woman’s
babies is dependent upon her own health
during the period of prospective maternity.
The prospective mother.cannot be too par
ticular about her physical condition. If
she suffers from local weakness, nervous
ness or loss of vigor and virility, her chil
dren will he weak, puny and sickly. Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the only
unfailing cure for all weakness and disease
of the delicate ^tnd important organs that
bear the brunt of maternity. It makes these
organs strong, healthy, vigorous, virile and
elastic. It makes the prospective mother
strong and cheerful. It robs maternity of
its perils. It insures a baby constitution
ally strong. It is the invention of an emi
nent and skillful specialist, who has had
thirty years’ training in this particular
branch, during which time he ana his staff
of physicians have prescribed for many
thousands of women. Medicines dealers
sell it and an honest dealer will not urn
upon you an inferior substitute merely for
the little added profit be may make thereon.
