Who can tell how hard the struggle may have been ere she learnt So resign herself to her lonely lot? The ab sence of this link to bind marital life together, the absence of this one Died ire to mutual affection is a common disap- ointment. -Many unfortunate couples ecome estranged thereby. Even if tney do not drift apart, one may read the whole extent of their disappointment in the eyes of such a childless couple when they rest on the children of others.

In all the various weaknesses, disrilace- ments, prolapsus, inflammation and de- OUitatmg, catarrnal drains and In all cases of nervousness and debility, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the most efficient remedy that can possibly be used. It has to its credit hundreds of thousands of cures more in fact than any other remedy put up for sale through druggists, especially for woman's u;.
