A HARD ROW
And a long pull describes the pathway
of a woman afflicted with female weak
ness unless she is under the care of a
doctor who has had successful experience
in the treatment of such cases or else has
found the right remedy which can be
safely used independently of the doctor.
Forty years ago. Dr. R. V. Pierce found
that women were being grossly mal
treatedmainly through ignorance and
carelessness, and he determined to devote
himself to study and research till he
found the real cause of their suffering
and a proper remedy for it.
He found it, and dug from Nature's
Laboratory, the earth, A ature's remedies
lor woman s weaknesses ana ailments.
He found in Lady's Slipper root, Black
Cohosh root. Unicorn root, Blue Cohosh
root and Golden Seal root, the required
ingredients.
The remedial virtues of these he ex
tracted, combined and preserved by his
own peculiar non-alcoholic, glyceric pro
cesses, and the compound is now known
the world over, as Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription.
"The wearing of corsets too tight seemed
to have brought on an abdominal pressure,
weakening the ligaments and resulting in
displacement, which troubled me until 1 was
not fit to walk, and at times could hardly
stand," writes Mrs. Beverly Sitgreaves. of 124
Fulton St.. San Francisco. Cal. " A neighbor
advised me to try Dr. Pierce's Faworite Pre
scription. Before the first bottle was used
I felt much better. Improvement went
steadily on, and within four months I was
like a new and well woman once mora 1
am now perfectly well and strong, and ex
tremely grateful to you for your blessed
remedy a boon to sick women."

Kuth, the little daughter of E. N. Dewey

from the store. In five hours 1 saw a change
for the better. We kept on giving it and
before she had taken tbe half of one small
bottle she was well." This remedy is for sale
