Thc healthy
women need not
fear the change
which conies as the
beginning of life's
autumn. It is thc
woman who lawom
out, run down and
a sufferer from
womanly diseases
who naturally
dreads the change
of life. This is the
critical period of
woman's life, and
the prevalence oi
womanly diseases
makes ft the duty
of every woman
who would avoid
unnecessary cuffer
inc to take especial
care of herself at this time.
Tlie ills which vex so many women at
thc change of life are entirely avoided
or cured by thc use of Dr. Pierce's Fa
vorite Prescription. It makes weak
women strong, and cnablca tbe weakest
to pass through this trying change with
the tranquility of perfect health.
"I have lea a very healthy women, and thl
time lu been very hard with me." writti Mr.
Magpie Morrii. or JI union Station. Clearfield
Col'a., Iiw 16. "I cut eorr.c lo the time ol
