But for every child who bears a birth mark on the skin there are many who bear an indelible birth-mark on the mind. Nervous mothers have nervous children and many a man and woman owes an irrita ble and despondent temperament to those days of dread when the mother waited the hour of her maternity. The use of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Presciption strengthens the mother for her trial. With strength comes a buoyancy of spirits and quietness of mind, which is one of the happiest gifts a mother can bestow on her off spring. By giving vigor and elas ticity to the delicate womanly or gans “Favorite Prescription” practically does away with the pain of maternity and makes the baby’s advent as natural and as simple as the blossoming of a flower. There is no opium, co caine or other narcotic contained in “Favorite Prescription.” Items of Interest. Ari- There fell somewhere out West some weeks ago a large meteorite.
