h MOTHER’S LOVE. I
WH XT IS MOKE BEAUTIFUL
fHAN MOTHER LOVE'?
« Who ran to help me when I fell
And would some pretty story tell,
Or kiss the place to make it well,
My mother.”
A mother’s worries are many. She
sometimes forgets her own bodily dis
comforts because of her overpowering
love for the child. She becomes broken
down, sleepless, nervous, irritable and
feels tired from morning until night.
Many mothers of experience can tell you
that at such a time they have been re-1
lieved, benefited and strengthened and j
put into proper health by taking a pre
scription which their mothers had told
them was the only woman’s tonic to be
taken at such times. Dr. Pierce’s Fa
vorite Prescription has enjoyed an envi
able reputation lor over a third o: a cen
tury In all that time it has sold more
iirgely in the United States than any
her tonic for woman's needs, and to
il v its sales are greater than ever. Di.
Pierce made up this prescription from
roots and herbs without the use of a
particle of alcohol or narcotic and for
the single purpose of curing those dis
eases neculiar to women and when there
a lack of womanly strength to bear
ib.e burdens of maternal duty How
, ;w women come to this critical time
with idequ.de strength. The reason
wlp. so women sink under t.ie
ira :i of motherhood is because they
.re unprepared. Is preparation then re
r . • . for motherhood ? asks the young
v. • ■ in. And every experienced mother
~u sw r... —Yes.” ’’l unhesitatingly a«l
--pectailt mothers to me Dr. Pierce s
. Prescription,” writes Mrs. J. W.
phens, of Mila.Va The reason sot
th- Mvice is that Dr. Pierce’s Favorite
I iption ri th. ■ best preparative lor
ta iternal function. No matter how
I . v and strong a woman may be, she
t . •>! use ” Favorite Prescripts >n as a
J i ~e for maternity without gam
of 1 dth and comfort. But it is the
" en who are not strong who best ap
pn- -',i- the great benefits received from ,
t: ~f ” Favorite Prescription.” For
on king its use makes the baby s
ad practically painless. It h» s in
i -r, duced days of suffering to
a ' ■. brief hours. It has changed the
in iety and struggle into a ‘
tii »f ease and comfort.

many thousands of women during a third
of a century speak louder than mere
claims not backed by a guarantee of
some kind. That is tiie reason why the
proprietors of Dr. Pierce'.- Favorite Pre-
■ scription are willing to offer SSOO re-
■ ward for women •who cannot be cured.
1 Such a remarkable offer is founded on
the long record 01 cures of the diseases
land weaknesses peculiar to women. If
i there is an invalid woman, suffering from
female weakness, prolapsus, or falling
' of womb, or from leucorrhea, who has
1 used Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription
without complete success, the original
proprietors and makers oi that world
famed medicine would like to hear from
such person —and it will be to her advan
tage to write them as they offer, in per
fect good faith, a reward of f.-oo for any
case of the above maladies which they
1 cannot cure. No other medicine tor
woman’s ills is possessed of the unpar
alleled curative properties that would
warrant its makers in publishing such
1 an offer.
