HOLIDAYS in

better opportunity to pun
GOLDI
Moonlieht on tin
sea. 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.
"For years my wire suSered from what the
doctors called prolapsus of the uterus. writes
Mr. Harry Chant, of m Ilaskell street. Dallas,

feet, palpitation, headache, backache, constipa
tion, a disagreeable drain, bearing-down palus
and no appetite. She got so weak she coulHnot
get around . I am only a laborer, aud was always
in debt to the doctors, and all for no good, as none
of them did her any good, she began taking
Dr Tierce's Favorite Prescription and it seemed
to work like a charm. She has taken about
thirteen bottles and Is to-day as stout and
healthy as any woman In the United Stales."
