It promotes the natural activity of the en

Constipation is the father of all manner
of malaUica. If it did not exist, or was in
all cases promptly relieved, the majority of
medical books could be safely destroyed.
It is the easie-t sickness to neglect and the
simplest to cure. Pr. Pierce's rieasant
Pellets curt constipation every time. They
cure it promptly, completely and perma

you out 'o nights. One "Pellet" la a

and weakened with their own daily burden
to do any more than atraggle almost hope
lessly sgainat the physical and dental evils
that beset tbemaelvea, with no strength left
to care for others. - Women with large fam
ilies find that the very ordeal of bringinc
children into the world, and nursing and
rearing them to boyhood and girlhood, is
so great a draft npon the mother' strength
that she herself become the natural object
of care and protection.
It is a glorious boon to the women of this
generation that the wonderful supportive
tonic, originated by Dr. Pierce, of Buflalo,
N. Y., is capable of sustaining tiiem through
the ordeal of frequent motherhood sod
bringing them oat of it with unimpaired
Wornauly strength and energy.
Motherhood is not only the grandest ot
woman's possibilities, but is the natural
fulfillment of her physical being and when
prepared for with proper observance of
nature's laws and attended by reasonable
care should be free from the mental de
pression, excessive pain and subsequent
prostration so commonly ' experienced.
Thousands of women have found that the
use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
during the expectant time and over the
nursing period imparts precisely the local
strength sad constitutional reinforcement
needed to carry them over this critical j unct
Ore cheerfully, safely, almost painlessly.
It affords direct organio endurance and
institutional nerve-force. It gives recu
perative power; it promotes the secretion
of abundant healthy nourishment for the
Child during the nursing period. It ia in
the best sense the guardian of childhood
for it not only enables the mother to take
op the work of life again with vigor and
enjoyment bat through her it imbues the
little one with the rugged natural strength
which is a constant protection against the
physical evils with which childhood is
constantly assailed.
What Dr. Pierce' Pavorite Prescription
does for mothers and their children is well
exemplified in the experience of Mrs.
H. M. Hansrote, of Mapnolia, Morgan Co.,
W. Va In a recent letter to Dr. Pierce
she writes: ,
" I commenced to take Pr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription aomethina; over two vewrs aa;o. and
am clad to testify that it isa Cod-send towoi.iau
kind. The three children who were born beSjre
I began to take your medicine did not live long;
they were very delicate, bul those born since
(three in all) are very hearty, and that convince
me that your medicine la just what it is said to
be and a great deal more. I could tell enough to
fll a book about the way I suffered and the way
your medicine acted, indeed, every woman on
the globe ouzht to know aliout your medicine."
Another lady. Mrs. Elisabeth Hull of 17 Mer
rick St., Pawtucket, R. L, writes ; " I Lav aid
fifteen babies, and always had a bad time. Some
times I have had to nave two doctors. I besraa
taking your 'Favorite prescription' last July
and in September I gave birth to two Utile girls
and r never had such an easy time. I bad no
doctor and did not suffer half as long as be lure.
Vy twins when bom weighed ten pounds each.
They are fine girts, now four months old."
