Favorite Prescription.
Thousauds on thousands of women
have been relieved of the nerve-nagging
drag of weakness and pain.
Tl.ey have been made better wives and
better mothers by having perfect health
restored, and without the humiliating
exposure of examinations so generally
insisted on by physicians.'

applications" is seldom necessary, and
there is no reason why modest, sensitive
women heed submit to them.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
of purely vegetable composition and is
perfectly harmless in any condition of
the system. It exerts a -wonderful sooth
JW, healing and strengthening power
over woman's delicate organism. It is
an invigorating tonic for the whole sys
tem, and is almost au infallib e specific
for the peculiar weaknesses,, irregulari
ties and painful derangements of woman.
