Who would exchange t h e merry noise of
children at play, with t h e childless home
where t h e clock tick can be heard hour
after hour in t h e dull; silence ? But t h e re
are a great many who would
like to people the silent
house w i t h t h e children t h at
f a t e h a s refused them. Fate
is often in this case only
another word for ignorance.
Many a glad mother dates
her happiness from t he
day she iirst began t he
use of Doctor Pierce's
Favorite Prescription.
I t often happens that
with t h e cure of female
weakness and t h e establishing of t h e deli- •
cate womanly organs in sound health, t h e
way is opened for t h e joy of motherhood.
"Favorite Prescriptioa" is a specific for
t h e chronic ailments peculiar to women.
I t cures them perfectly
and permanently.
No other medicine can
do for women so much as
"Favorite Prescription."
Do not therefore let a ny
other medicine be palmed
off on you as " j u s t as
good."
" F a v o r i t e Prescription "
contains no alcohol, opi-um,
cocaine or other nar-cotic.
It is strictly a
temperance medicine.
" I can truly say your medicine Is a friend
of mine," writes Mrs. Arthur Bratt, of Am-herstburg,
Ontario, Canada. "I am mother
of four children and suffered greatly at times
of birth of first three. When three months
along with the last one I began to think of
trying some medicine to ease those terrible
pains, and aslced our doctor whether there
was anything he could give me to lessen la-bor
pains. He said there was nothing that
could help me. I then thought I would write
to Dr. Pierce. He advised me to take his
'Favorite Prescription.' I started to take It
at fourth month. I was very weak, had heart
trouble and would faint away two or three
times a day. Our doctor could not help me
and life was a drag. I would often say, oh. if
I could only die in one of these spells; but I
took five bottles of 'Favorite Prescription'
and felt better every way. Got along well at
the time of delivery. I had heard of painless
childbirth, and I thought it must be a good
medicine that would help those pains, but I
know now for myself, and can not tell it plain
enough. Your ' Favorite Prescription ' is the
best medicine as we mothers know. I advise
my friends to try it. Baby is now four
months old and is a strong, healthy boy."
