The Hand Thai rocks Rules.
THE first Napoleon said that the one thing
1' ranee needed to make her great was
MOTHERS. He understood that "the hand
that rocks the cradle rules the world." There were
mothers a-plenty in Krance as mothers go, But
what Napoleon wanted was mothers who .should be
breeders of men ; men of .statute and men of
stamina, fit to follow the eagles of France through
Egypt's sands and Russia's snows.
There can be no strong manhood where there is
no strong motherhood. Strength
where there is .sound health there
The world is full of the wailing of weak and J
puny ciiiiurcu who win grow up to ue small 01
stature, frail of body and weak of mind, a menace
to the national greatness. Who is to blame ? The
mother is to blame if she does not at least endeavor
to fit herself, physically, for the duties and obliga
tions of her state.
There is nothing surer, nothing more definitely
established as an undeniable fact,,than that "weak
ivotnen arc made strong by the use of Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription.
Who says so? The women, who out of weak
ness, have been made strong, say so. The women
for whom the pre-natal period has been robbed of
its misery. The
women lor whom
the birth hour has
been made practi
cally painless. The
women who never
nursed a healthy
child until they
used " Favorite Pre
scription." The
women who could
never nurse a child
at all before "Fa
vorite Prescription"
made the fountain
of nourishment to
flow in abundance.
These are the
women, thousands
in number, who
bear witness that
Dr. Pierce's Favor
ite Prescription
makes weak women
strong and sick
women well.
"I am so thankful
for vvlnt Dr. Pierce's
I'aOritc Prescription
has done for me,"
writes Mrs. Tohn T.
Smith, of Slocan.n.C,
Box 50. "It helped me through the
me Dtnn 01 my cnwci, a tag, strong uaoy girt, the most
healthy of all my three, and it cnreel me ot a disease which
was taking away all my strength."
ALMOST PAST BELIEF.
"I take pleasure in informing you of the birth of a boy in
perfect heilth, on May :8th, 1899," writes Mrs. 1,. E. Corti,
of Waltonvtile, Pa, Hot 25. "I cannot find words suffi
cientlv strong to express to ou my thanks, for my delivery
wis almost without pam, nnd when my husband arrived
with the doctor the child was already lxrn. The neighbors
who were with us, and my husband and the doctor, could
not believe their ees. Having suffered so much before I
never believed myself able to be delivered of n livinc child.
I I tell everybody this happy event was due to the help of
I God and of your medicines. I shall never be without your
1 medicines henceforth nnd shall never fail to recommend
1 vonr ' bavorite Prescription.'
"Our hearts are full of Gratitude to
cines, which hive given us the happiness of having a living
child of our own, after so much suffering and disapjxmit
inciit. "I recommend Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription to all
young women, who are in the same condition that I was in,
as one of the best remedtes in existence. I have used eight
bottles and find myself in perfect health."
"I hive been the mother of five children, two of which
were premature births, and my heilth was very poor ever
since until the present tune," writes Mrs. A. W. Cornwell,
of 810 V ijtreet, N. K , Washington, D. C. " Had trouble of
internal orgms for yi orseveu jears. I took local treat
ment and different medicines, but they only gave me tem
porary relief. Had palpitation of the heirt, weak stomach,
and all sorts of aches and pains. I was advisee! by friends
to try Dr. Pierce's medicines. In October, 1898, I began
taking it, and felt better after taking a few doses. Have
taken seven bottles of 'Favorite Prescription,' two of
'Golden Medical Discovery,' three vials of Dr. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets, and two of his 'Compound Extract of
Smart-Weed.' In August, 1S99, I gave birth to 1 strong

" Favorite Pre

for yon what it has
done for a multi
tude of mothers
make you well and
strong. Don't let
the fact of the
failure of other
medicines to help
your case discour
age you from try
ing Doctor Pierce's
Favorite Prescrip
tion. No other
medicine is like it.
It is like no other
medicine. It con
tains no alcohol,
and is absolutely
free from opium,
cocaine, chloral
and other narcotic
drugs. In this it
differs from almost
every other "put
up " medicine of
fered for women's
It is a purely vegetable preparation and can
not disagree with the weakest constitution.
"Favorite Prescription" makes weak women
strong and sick women well by curing the causes
of womanly weakness and sickness. It regulates
the periods, dries the drains which sap the strength,
heals inflammation and ulceration and cures female
weakness.
Sick and weak women, especially those suffer
ing from chronic forms of disease, are invited ot
consult Dr. Pierce, by letter, absolutely free, and
so obtain the advice of the foremost specialist in
diseases of women absolutely without cost or fee.
All correspondence is strictly private and sacredly
confidential. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo,
N. Y.
This offer of free medical advice is not to be con
founded with any similar offer made in imitation of
it. There is no similar offer which has behind it
an institution like the Invalids' Hotel and Sur
gical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y., presided over by
Dr. Pierce, as chief consulting physician, assisted
by a staff of nearly a score of skilled physicians,
every man a specialist in the treatment and cure of
disease. A letter to Dr. Pierce puts you in con
sultation with the foremost specialist in the treat
ment and cure of woman's diseases. The only cost
is the stamp on our letter.
Accept no substitute for "Favorite Prescription."
A substitute means a little more profit to the
dealer, but it is an absolute loss to you. Only
"Favorite Prescription" will do for you what it
has done for the women whose tstimony we have
printed above.
