Q. A. HARDING, Druggist, Oregon City Oregon
That's the personal question a woman
asks herself when she reads of the cures
of womanly diseases by the use of Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
Why shouldn't it cure her?
Is it a comnlicated case? Thousands
of such cases have been cured by "Fa
vorite Prescription." Is it a condition
which local doctors have declared in
curable? Among the hundreds of thou
sands of sick women cured by the use of
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription there
are a great many who were pronounced
incurable by local doctors. Wonders
nave been worked bv "Favorite Pre
scription" in the cure of irregularity,
weakening drains, inflammation, ulcera
tion and female weakness. It always
helps. It almost always cures.
"Three years afro," writes Mrs. John Graham,
of J018 Plumb Street, (Fraukford) Philadelphia,
Pa "I had a very bad attack of dropsy which
left me with heart trouble, and also a very weak
back. At times I was so bad that I did not know
what to do with nivself. My children advised
me to take your ' Favorite Prescription,' but I
had been taking so much medicine from the doc
tor that I was discouraged with everything. I
came to Philadelphia two years ago, and pick
ing up one of your little books one day began to
read what your medicine had done for others, I
determined to try it myself. I took seven bot
tles, and to-day I am a strong, well woman,
weighing 163 pounds. Have gained 29 pouuda
aince I started to use ' Favorite Prescription.'

aomplexion and sweeten the breath.
