D r. Pierce's F a vorite Prescription has enjoyed an envi able reputation for over a th lrA of a cen tury. In all th a t tim e It has sold more largely in the U nited States than any other tonic for woman’s needs, and to day Its sal.» are ffW ite r than ever.

A great many women feeling the need of a tonic take a cocktail, whisky, or w hat Is Just as bad, some widely adver tised compound, containing a large per centage of alcohol. Doctor Pierce’s medicines are guaranteed to be entirely free from alcohol or narcotics—made of roots which cannot harm the most deli cate system but have a wholesome, llfe- Bjvlng. tonic-effect upon the system. Tonics made largely of alcohol Interfere w ith the digestion of certain foods, and as doses Increase the alcohol absorbed gets Into the blood and shrinks the red blood corpuscles. As the blood feed* the jterves the nerves get Improper nourishment and the mother becomes nervous. As the nerves suffer so does the skin.
