The Crisis Comes io Women at the Turn Ing Point In Lite. A woman's life is very much like a river. It begins in the little rivulet of girlhood, but grows broader and deeper in womanhood, with many a rock, threatening wreck. At last as mid dle life is approached a look ahead shows the river broadened out into a calm and placid lake, but before the lake is reached there are rapids to lie run, which threaten peril and misfort une. That calm and placid lake is the well-earned st of wife and mother after years of care. The rapids that lead from the river to the lake mark the period known as change of life. There are few women who pass this period without sickness more or less serious. Sotne- times this change of life becomes a sail change; the change of decay. The body weakens, the mind fails, and in the very prime of life the woman finds herself a L >ndou police vffi lais are fearful bat th y will not be able to fu 1> >r»Veut tbe many thieve« of all irecnptions plying tbeir vocation receding aud during the corous- thia extremes Loudon, a bug«- IT IS COLD ABOVE US . »hive o' riuoianiiy at all tines, Scientists tell as ot ih* infinit* v il r>e particularly congeetel dur- oold of spaoe.

Just how far-reaching i effects - • wiil ■ be, depends npon the its womanly health. The only way in which women can approach this time in safety is by making FROFER PREPARATIONS FOR THE CHANGE. This proper preparation means the building up of the womanly health and tbe general physical health, for the health of the delicate womanly organism is intimstely related to the general health of the body, and while womanly diseases remain uncured the general health must suffer. When an athletic woman enters into a struggle for some championship at golf or tennis, she prepares for the strain and brings her txxly up to the highest point of resistance to fatigue. If she did not make extra preparation for tbe extra strain she must emlure she would surely be beaten.’ When a woman nears the period of change of life, she ia nearing a period of unusual strain, and if she wishes to win through this period in comfort she must make extra preparation for tbe extra strain she is to undergo Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription which makes weak women strong and sick women well at all other critical periods will not fail woman at this last great crisis of her life. If used as a preparative for thia change it will prac tically remove all its pains and dangers, and render this critical time free from the physical disorders and mental afflic tion so commonly associated with it. But if the period has been entered upon without preparation. "Favorite Prescrip tion ” will promptly cure the painful symptoms and restore the balance of per fect h-alth • "It is now two years since I first '»/in to use vour medicines," writes Mra Charles E Thompson, Georgetown, El dorado Co., Calif. "When I first tried the ’ Fsvorite Prescription ’ I thought I would never live throe; h the ’ Change. 1 suffered from sll th- tr m les one could y- - and live. I had stomach trouble; lived on dry bread aud hot water for three months, not being able to keep any food on my stomach ; bail constipa tion ami awful headache ; was bloated at times in the liowels, had pain in the chest and hacking cough, but, thanks to Dr, Pierce, 1 am not troubled any more. 1 also used the ‘ Pellets ’ and the 'Golden Medical Discovery,’ and find all of them just as Dr. Pierce recommends them tube "Since last Octol>er I have traveled over hard rocky roads in farm wagons and felt no return of any of my old troubles, and 1 know that before using Dr. Pierce's medicines I could not have stood half of it, as the least jar would have caused aching from head to foot. "1 most highly recommend all of Dr. Pierce’s medicines, and 1 hope all Indies suffering from female complaint will try Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, and I know that if used right, relief and hap piness will follow.” EXTRAORDINARY RESUI.T9 have followed the use of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription by women under going this change. In some cases where insanity has been pronounced the use of " Favorite Prescription” has restored soundness of mind with strength of laxly. There is no con dition of laxly resulting from this period which ” Favorite Prescription ” is not perfectly adapter! to meet. In nervous af fections its influence is promptly felt. It is a nerve nourishing medi cine, and quiets the cry ing nerves as crying children are quieted—by feeding them. It en courages a healthy ap petite, and gives quiet and refreshing sleep. It is the best tonic and nervine for weak, run down women. "I can testify,” writes Miss I^na Pazdernik, of 15» Ricker Street, St. Louis, Mo., " that my mother must give her sincere thanks to the doctors of the World's Disjiensary Medical Association for their advice in her trouble—change of life ; also must say that the ‘ Favorite Prescription.’ with the ‘Pellets,’ was of great benefit to her. I recommend them to all sufferers in similar cases." Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the best friend of women st every crit ical period of life. It enables the maiden to pass through the first chsnge of life without the lassitude, weakness and misery often experienced. It establishes regularity, dries unhealthy drains, heals inflammation and ulceration, and cures female weakness. It is the best prepara tive for maternity, giving the mother abundant vigor and vitality, and making the baby's sdvent practically painless. It is a purely vegetable preparation, con taining no alcohol, neither opium, cocaitie or any other narcotic. It cannot dis agree with the most feeble constitution. A FACT FOR WOMEN TO FONDER. Any weak and sick woman ia invited to consult Dr. Pierce, by letter, fret. All correspondence is held as strictly private end sacredly confidential. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. V. It sometimes happens that there are peculiar difficulties to be overcome in the treatment of individual rases, and under such circumstances I>r. Pierce’s free ad vice is often of inestimable value. The dealer who offers a sulwtitnte for "Favorite Prescription " does so to gain the little more profit paid on the sale of less meritonous medicines. His profit ia your loss, therefore accept no substitute. EVERY WOMAN NEEDS X.uiber "Tbr»»" lu (he tlltilw rorothra's stole» ckeeso. When the world was created, we dm!
