In this Christian age and this land of civilization tens of thousands of women daily suf- fer the slow tor- ments of ap- proaching death. They do this because of a false delicacy fre- guently inculcated by their mothers. There is a marvelous medicine for women that cures all weakness and disease of the distinctly feminine organism. It acts di- rectly on the delicate and important organs concerned in maternity and makes them strong and healthy. It is Dr. Pierce’s Fa- vorite Prescription. It allays inflammation, lieals ulceration and soothes pain. It gives rest and tone to the tortured nerves. Under its magic influence the headaches and pains in the back and sides, the dragging and burning sensations, the nervousness, weak- ness, lassitude and despondency that result from so-called female weakness are ban- ished. It fits for wifehood and motherhood. Taken during the period of solicitude, it banishes the usual discomforts and makes baby’s entry to the world easy and almost painless. Itinsures the new comer’s heatth aud an ample supply of nourishment. Thousands of women have testified to its marvelous merits. All good druggists sell it. Mrs. Ursula Dunham, of Sistersville, ler Co., W. Va., writes: ‘‘My baby is now nearly a year old. After she was born I had local weak- ness. I could not stand ap.
