For every disease or ailment of a womanly character, no matter how re- cent or long standing, the one sure, reliable remedy of proved merit is Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription.

Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre- scription is prepared from nature's roots and herbs and does not contain a particle of alcohol or any narcotic. Women are earnestly advised to take it for irregular or painful periods, backache, headache, displacement, ca- tarrhal condition, hot flashes, sallow complexion and nervousness. For girls about to enter womanhood, women about to become mothers and for the changing days of middle age Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription should always be on hand.

Pepsin, Nux, Iron And Sarsaparilla A Magnificent Combination—Finest Course of Medicine. Physicians and pharmacists have long known the desirability of com- bining iron—a superlative tonic—in a blood-purifying, building—up medi- cine. The combination of the iron with Hood’s Sarsaparilla has now been se- cured through the happy thought of prescribing Peptiron Pills to be taken in connection with the Sarsaparilla— one before eating, the other after. In this way the two medicines work together most harmoniously and bene- ficially, supplementing each other, and giving a four—fold result in blood- cleansing and up-building. You get blood-purifying, appetite- giving, liver-stimulating qualities in Hood’s Sarsaparilla and great tonic properties in Peptiron Pills.
