A childless homo is a cheerless homo. It is apt
also to bo n selfish homo. Tho lovo of children and
tho caro of them is a great bar to selfishness. With
out children husband and wife each seek how to
please tbemsolvos, and drift into a life of divided
interests and scpnrato pleasures. Tho lacking link
of lovo needed to bind husband and wife together is
tho littlo child with its prattlo and its play, its
morning song and evening prayer.
Many a woman who by reason of discaso, weak
ness, or somo physical defect, has been doomed by
tho ordinary practitionor to perpetual childlessness,
has found in Dr. Piorco's Favorite Prescription a
medicine to euro her disease, to givo her strength,
or to remove her physical disabilities.
A " Hopaloss Gaso" Gurod
"I wish to add my testimony to hundreds of
others as to the valuo of Dr. Piorco's medicines,"
writes .Mrs. Ida M. Do Ford, of Latona Hubbard
Co., Minn. " Have doctored with a great many
physicians, some specialists; have twice been in
a hospital for treatment. My case has been re
garded as n hopeless one, and they knew not what
the trouble was. Heart was bad; stomach all out
of order; tired out, severe pains in all parts of tho
body; sinking hpells and nearly every ailment a
woman could have. I took many a bottle of dif
ferent 'patent medicines ' withont effect. I began
taking Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, and ten
months afterward I gave birth to a ten pound boy.
All physicians had staled as a fact that I never
could bear a child. Both the baby and myself wcro
strong, and I got along splendidly thanks to your
medicine. I do my own work and feel very much
encouraged. I wish all suffering women would
thoroughly try your ' Favorite Prescription.' "
Cures such as Mrs. Do Ford's are not uncommon
when "Favorite Prescription" is given a fair and
faithful trial. The noteworthy fact is that when
specialists and surgeons have failed, " Favorite Pre
scription" effects a cure; when all physicians stated
as a fact that child-bearing was impossible, "Favor
ite Prescription" put them to utter shame. The
successful cures brought about by the uso of Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription are duo to the fact
that it makes weak women strong and sick women
well. Weakness and sickness are tho chief hind
rances to motherhood. When strength and health
are restored the wife is lifted to the normal piano
of womanhood and maternity becomes at once her
privilege and her pleasure.
Married Six Yesrs and GfoildlSoss.
" I have never written you how grateful I am to
you for your help in securing good health and one
of the sweetest, dearest, thirteen pound girls that,
ever carno into a home," writes Mrs. M. Vastine, of
047 South Liberty Street, Galesburg, III. " When I
wrote you about my ailments I was living in Rich
land, Iowa. I took six bottles of Dr. Pierce's Fa
vorite Prescription, four of the 'Golden Medical
Discovery ' and four vials of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant
PellctB. Before I had taken four bottles of tho
'Favorite Proscription' I was a new woman. I
cannpt make pen describe my heart-felt gratitude,
so will close by saying if any one disputes the valuo
of Dr. Pierce's medicines I will be pleased to con
firm tho truth of all I say if they will incloso
stamped envelope for reply."
There is no other medicine which can compare
with Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription as a pre
parative for tho trial of maternity. It prevents or
cures morning sickness. It tranquilizcs the nerves,
encourages the appetite and causes tho sleep to bo
sound and refreshing. With the strength of body
it gives, come also strength and pcaco of mind.
There is no shrinking from tho coming ordeal, but
such a feeling of exuberant health that all anxiety
and fear arc entirely banished. And this feeling

"I beliove I owo my lifo to Dr. Pierce's remedies,

heart-felt gratitudo to you, and to acknowledge tho

express tho relief, it was so great. Seven months

of womanly disease, pronounced incnrablo by local
