Don’t Look
Old Before
Yonr Time
W c
ROMAN’S delicate system requires
more than ordinary care and at
tention-more care and attention than
it is given by the average woman.
Neglect it and ills soon creep in, and
the look of old age, sometimes quickly,
sometimes gradually follows.
That backache, so common among women, brings with it the sunken chest, the
headache, tired muscles, crow's-feet, and soon the youthful body is no more youth
ful in appearance—and all because of lack of attention.
There is no reason why you should be so unfoKunate, when you have at your
disposal a remedy such as Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription—recommenued
for over 40 years aa a remedy for ailments peculiar to women. We have thou
sands upon thousands of testimonials on file—the
accumulation of 40 years —testifying to it* effect
