Nothing less than unbearable torment would induce sensitive-minded women to submit to the intolerable methods of the average doctor in dealing with diseases of this nature. That there is "a better way ” than these detestable “examinations’ 1 and "local ap plications ’’ is a truth which some women have yet to learn, although thousands are already rejoicing in the knowledge. They have found in Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre scription the one unfailing remedy which heals feminine weaknesses at their very source. This marvelous “ Prescription ” restores absolute health to the internal organism; stops weakening drains and ul cerated conditions, gives elastic strength to the supporting ligaments, vitality to the nerve centers, and complete womanly vigor to the entire constitution. It is the perfect fortifier and regulator of women at every critical period in their development; from the time when they merge into womanhood until the “change of life.’’ It is the one medicine which makes motherhood safe and almost free from pain. A lady living at 7 Park Avenue Chicago, Mrs Emily Howe, writes: 'I. myself, suffered a long time from female weakness and seemed to be going into a decline. Took several bottles of your Favorite Prescription ' and it saved me from a great deal of suffering. I now enjoy per fect health and will ever praise the wonderful efficacy of your medicine. ’’ The best popular medical book in the world is Dr. R. V.
