There are pic tures and dreams and castles in the air for the woman who sits and gates out over It Pic tures of a happy home, dreams or a matuy Husband, beautiful castles to be built by the loving hands of mutual helpfulness and filled With healthy, happy children. Almost without exception these dreams might become realities If mothers would only teach their daughters the most com mon sense facts about their own physical make-up, and advise them how to protect themselves from the perils of the three critical periods of their lives puberty or maturity, motherhood and the "turn of life." Women at theta time suffer from irregularities and weaknesses which, If neglected, will develop Into dangerous dis eases and make their wholollvea wretched. The delicate organs that make wifehood and motherhood possible, cannot be neg lected with impunity. If they are neglect ed the result is unhappy wifehood, and motherhood will be a menace of death. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is au un failing specific for all diseases of these organs. It restores them to perfect health. It promotes regularity of their special func tions. It fits for wifehood and mother hood. It tones, invigorate and builds up the nerves that have been shattered by pain and suffering.
