IDE MUM M THE MRIDEH Can Love t nd Beauty Ever Come to This ? A beautiful young brido leaning af fectionately on tho arm of her hus band, wandered through tho curio halls of tho Metropolitan Museum. The pair halted beforo the mummy of an Egyp tlon Princess, tho little wizened face, looking hideous against tho nge-yol-lowed folds of the cere-cloth. "Sho may havo been a beauty In hor day," said tho husband, reflectively. "Oh!" cried tho wife, shuddering, nnd shrink ing away, 'to thing that a beautiful woman could ever bocomo a thing like that." Yet if somo mnglo mirror had been nt hand that samo beautiful young wifo might havo seen tho fore- cast of her own face and form, stripped ' nllko of grace and beauty, as the se quel of a few brief yeara of married life But of the suffering which at tended such physical decay no minor could give us a hint. "'Tls true, 'tis pity!" 'Tlty 'tis, 'tis true." Physiologically considered, marriage is the crown of life. However beauti ful is tho tree which stands In the or chard, If it bears no fruit it is only an imperfect example of a tree. How ever beautiful a woman unless she ful fills the law of her nature, In marriage nnd In maternity, her life is imper fect. Every teal woman feels this, and yet wonders why nature should lay such heavy burdens on tho wife and mother. THE WOMAN'S "WHY?" Why should woman in fulfilling her manifest destiny loose tho beauty which Is also Nature's gift? Why should she bo subject to such aches and pains as wear the nerves and waste the body? Natuie's answer to such questions Is that there Is no "why" for the suffer ings ot the majority ot women, that there is no reason in nature why they should not go through marriage and motherhood and retain their health and beauty; that such a condition of things as obtains among women Is not natui al, but unnatural. All that Is needed 1b that the woman Joins hands with Nature to cast oft the conditions v hlcli undermine her health and dlsf no her beauty. Let It be undeisi 1 tint tho normal and natural condition of the body is of health, and that in this condition of health every physical function is dischaiged with comfort and pleasure. Then, lemember, that every disease which establishes itself in any organ is an usurper, an inter loper and has no claims in or claims on the body. Against every such usui per Natuio wages a continual warfare. If she docs not overcome nnd dilve out the nllen and evil power of disease it is only because the victim of this oppression Is entirely passive and falls to give tho needed assistance. Women who have realized these facts, who havo Joined forces with Natuio against disease have round In Doctor Pierce's Favorite Frescilption a pre paration fitted to the exacts needs of Nature In this struggle against disease. They have well named it, "that God send to women," for it has done for them what no medicine heretofore has been able to do It has absolutely cured them of nil the foul disease which fed upon their vitality like some ghoul or -vampire. The range of cuies cover ed by "Favorite Presclptlon" includes every form of disease which attacks the womanly organs, excepting only cancerous diseases and tumots. De bilitating drains, ulceration, female tioubles, bearing-down pains; all these and related aliments it has perfectly and permanently cured. A WOMAN'S WISE DECISION "I would like to express my gratitude to you for tho benefits I havo received from your wonderful medicine, 'Favor ite Prescription,'" writes Mis. C. N. Anderson, of Rockbridge Baths, Rock bridgo Co, Va "It is a God-send to weak and sickly women, testoiing good health without subjecting their weak nerves to the shock of an examination. I was all run down In health from November until March could not work but a short while without resting. Was so nervous at times that I could not even write; had a very poor appetite and when I ate did not seem to do me much good. I decided to write to Dr. Pierco and state my case, and am thankful that I did, for in due time I received a favorable reply as to what kind of medicine to take. I sent ana got It and commenced taking the 'Fa vorite Prescription' and U'cllets.' Took six botles of 'Favorite Prescription,' ono of 'Golden Medical Discovery and ono vial of 'Pellets.' I can now woik as well as I could before I was taken fdek. I think Dr. Pierce's medicines the best In tho world for sick and ner vous women. May God bless you In your good work." "I never courted newspaper notor iety," writes Mis E A Bender, of Keene, Coshocton Co., Ohio, "yet I am not afraid to speak n good word for your Tavorite Pi ascription' and 'Pleasant Pellets' Over a year ago I suffered terribly for nearly four w eeks with prolapsus and weakness. After us ing one bottle ot 'Favorite Prescrip tion' and ono of 'Pellets' I was a well woman. I havo tnkeu no medicine slnco and havo had no symptoms of my former trouble. Havo used the 'Favorite Preset Iptlon' at different times for more than four years and find It has no equal." "ROBUST AND ROSY CHEEKED" When tho local health of the woman ly organs is established, tho health of the whole body is renewed. One wo man (Mrs. Mollio E. Carpenter, of Llnaila, Cumberland county, Ten 11 ) writes; "When I Hist wroto to Dr. Pierce, words cannot express my Buf fet Ings. I had female trouble, weak ening drains, ..oioness through my bowles In fact I was diseased from head to fot. Now I can do my own washing and cooking and am as heavy aa I waa at nineteen." Another, Mrs. Mary EL Lowls, ot Tanner, Gilmer Co., VW. Va., wrltesa "For fifteen years I Buffered untold misery. When I commenced taking Dr. liercc'.s medicines I had given up all hope of over getting welL I now wolgh, 140 pounds Instead of 90, and. am In bet ter health than ever before. Altor bo ing sick bo long, I havo changed to be robust and rosy cheeked." Those are only scraps from long lot' ters detailing stories of suffering ana cure. They aro but chocs of tho testimony of half a million hcalty, happy women, who havo been mado so by tho uso of "Favorito Prescription." Sick and ailing women aro Invited to consult Dr. Plerco by letter. Thcro is no chargo for this consultation. Over thirty yeara' experience ns chief con sulting physician to tho Invalldes' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buf falo. N Y, has given Dr Pierce a na tional reputation as a t-peclallst in dis eases of women Any woman may write ,sure of careful consideration ot her case and a frank and fatherly ro ply All letters ate considered as strlcto ly private and sactedly confldentla1. No third person need eniter into Mil confidence as all answers are enclosed In a plain envelope without printing or advertising on It. THE "BEARDED LADY." Women aie sometimes appealed to by the cunningly worded advertise ments of designing men "to write up a woman" on the plea that "woman sympathizes with woman" and "wo man undeistands a woman's need." As a matter of fact n man must be n physician to give medical advice, and lit Is equally true that no woman Is competent to give medical advice on woman's disease without medical knowledge and training. If you want a woman's advice, scores of friends aiouud you can give It. If you want a doctor's advice, ask first. "Is this woman a competent and qualified phy sician?" The answer to that question will tend to restrict the bearded lady to a legitimate Held of operations. So far as is Known there is no qualified and compentent woman physician as sociated with any propaiatlon put up for female disease. There certainly Is no one, man or woman, with tho ex perience of Dr. Pierce; with over thir ty ears devoted to the treatment of w oman's diseases and a record of ninety-eight per cent, of cures in half a million cases DOES NOT INEBRIATE. There is no alcohol or other intoxi cant in "Favorite Piescrlption," neith er does It contain opium or other nar cotic. Of no other medicine .specially designed for women can this bo said. ' Favorite Prescription" does not in duco craving for stimulants or nar cotics Without cither of these Ingre dients and even without .syrup of su gar, It letains Its pleasant tasto aud healing properties in any climate. Many dealcis give you "Favorlto Piesciiptlon" when you ask for It. Some dealers don't, because there may be a few cents moie In some substi tute" But you don't get any share of that cNti.i profit. In fact you loso jour entire outlay If you become a party to such an Imposition. Only Dr. Pierce's medicines work Dr. Pierce's cuies. Tor that icason in sist on "Favorite Prescription."
