; NURSES IN THE WAR
Wlwt tlie Women Are Doing
The women of the Red Cross aro
nursing, cheering and comforting the

. rope not only wrap bandages and
t scrape lint, but they tend the fnrms,
• dig coal, carry burdens and do tliu
work of the men now under arms.
' Every male fighter, however brawny
: and heroic, was born of woman; the
. high courage and hardihood that aro
. a nation's strength are inherited from
i the mother.
i Young mothers who preserve the
charms of face and figure in spite of
an increasing family and the care of
growing children are always to be en
vied. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip
tion gives the strength and health
. upon which happy motherhood de-
I pends. It practically does away with
the pains of maternity. It enables tho
mother to nourish the infant life de
' pending on her, and enjoy the hourly
happiness of watching tho develop
; ment of a perfectly healthy child.
Thousands of women who ase now
, blessed with robust health cannot un
i derstand why thousands of other
women continue to worry and suffer
1 from ailments peculiar to women when
: they can obtain for a trifling sum Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription, which
' will surely and quickly banish all pain,
distress and misery and restore tho
' womanly functions to perfect health.
