HAPPY JOJHERS,
Whose Strength Equals
Their Love.
Fow women it any shrink from the
passing pain of maternity. Alt they
ask Is to feel tho child's heart beating
against their own as they hold It in
strong arms to tho full fount from
which It feeds. How rarely tho moth
er's strength keeps pneo with her lovo
every woman knows. Often tho baby
Is laid against a breast thnt cannot
nourish It, nnd folded In arms almost
too weak to boar the tiny burden. The
woman who is strong and wheun
abundant vitality enables her to nurse
her child and enjoy Its care is looked
upon as a marvel. She is considered
an exception, peculiarly and specially
endowed by nature. But the real mar
vel is not thoi strong woman but tho
weak one. Sho Is tho exception. The
strong healthy woman Is nature's typo.
Sho shows what every woman ought
to bo and what almost every woman
may bo by the use of proper means.
THE OTHER TWO WOMEN.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
makes weak women strong and sjick
women well. The record shows that of
the hundreds of thousands of women
who have used "Favorite Prescription"
ninety-eight per cent, have been abso
lutely and altogether cured. The other
two women In each hundred for whom
no complete euro was possible, have In
general acknowledged a great Improve
ment In their condition; headaches less
frequent and less painful, backache
greatly diminished; able to resume
again the care of the household and
take pleasure In social life. That is
the general story of the two per cent,
of women who had found no help In
any other medicine but have by' the
use of "Favorite Prescription" found
relief and comfort.
But think of the great army, the
ninety-eight per cent., numbering hun
dreds of thousands of women who have
been cured perfectly and permanently.
No more backache, no more headache,
no more monthly misery. Pain is a
thing of tho past. These are the wo
men who are lit for maternity, who
will have strength to give tho child
they bear.
"I have Intended for some time to
write you," says Mrs. Eva Burnett, of
Russellvillo, Logan Co., Kentucky,"
and give a testimonial In regard to
what your medicine has done for, me.
My baby came in July, 1S99, and I had
congestive chills, and lay at death's
door for ten long weeks. I was in a
dreadful condition and had six of the
best doctors in the city. After every
thing had been done and I had been
given up to die I asked my husband
to get mo a bottle of Dr. Pierce's Fa
vorite Prescription. He had no faith
In It, but he got it, nnd when I had
tnkpn it two weeks I was able to walk
t-o tho dining room to my meals, and J

WOMEN THSTJFiY TO THIS.
Dr. Pierce's Favorlta "Prescription es
tablishes regularity. lb dries unhealthy
drains, heals Inflammation nnd ulcera
tion and cures female weakness. Taken
as a preparative for maternity it'irlves
physical vigor and the mental courage
which comes from a feeling ot strength,
It encourages tho appetite, tranquillzes
tho nerves nnd induces refreshing
sleep. It makes tho baby's advent
practically painless, nnd Increases tho
flow of tho nutritive secretion.
"I wish to advise tho suffering women
of this great land, of the good I havo
received from Dr.Pleree's Favorite Pre
scription and 'Goldsr
Medical Discovery,' "
writes Mrs. Mary
Shappell, of Colum
bus, Grove, Putnam
Co., Ohio. "For four
years I had been a
sufferer from femalo
troubles.and at times
was unablo t dn
ven tho housework
for three In the fam
ily. I had such palnfi
that I suffered al
most death dozens of
of times, but after
taking Ave bottles of
your medicines I can
truthfully say than
health was greatly,
Improved. I have a'
good appetite and am
gaining in ilesh right
along. This spring Is
tho flrst time In flvo
years that I havo'
done my houso clean
ing all by myself and
without the least) fa
ttguo whatever. I hope all suffering
women will find relief as I have done.
"My gain In weight has been just ten;
pounds, and I am still gaining."
Sick women are Invited to consult Dr.
Pierce by letter free. All correspond
ence confidentially conducted and wo
manly confidences guarded by strict
professional privacy. Address Dr. R,
V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
Tho offer of free consultation by let
ter made by Dr. Pierce is not to bo
classed with the misleading offers of
free medical advice, made by those who
have neither medical education nor ex
perience. Anyone may offer "medical
advice," but tho medical advice of an
unqualified person, either man or wo
man, is not only worthless bub may ba
dangerous. As chief consulting physi
cian to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., with an asso
ciate staff of nearly a score of physi
cians, Dr. Pierce is enabled to offer to
those who consult him by letter free, a
medical experience and success which
has no superior.
There is no alcohol In "Favorite Pre
scription" and it is entirely free from
opium, cocaine and every other nar
cotic. This perfect freedom from all
Injurious Ingredients makes "Favorite
Prescription" the ideal tonic for nurs
ing mothers and all weak "run down''
women.
If a dealer biic3 to sell a: substitute)
in place of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription it is because less meritorious
medicines pay a little more profit to
the dealer. If you want to be well you
want to insist on tho medicine which
lias cured other women, Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription.

Annie Barnett, of Hltson, Fisher Co.,
Texas, says, "Will say I like my 'Med
ical Adviser' so much; it is worth ita
weight In gold."
