THE FIRSTBORN. Why is it that the firstborn chiM is to often the healthiest of a family of chil dren? The reason seems to suggest it self. As child follows child the mother has less and leas vitality; often Hot enough for herself and none, therefore, for her child. Expectant mothers who use Doctor Pierce's Favorite Pro scription find that it keeps them in vigor ous health. They eat well, sleep well and arc not nervous. When baby comes its advent is practically painless, and the mother is made hap py by the birth of a healthy child. If you would be a liealtlry mother of healthy children use " Favor ite Prescription." "I wilt be very olad to say n few words for Dr. Pierce's 1'avorlle Prescrip tion," writes Sirs. V. S. Douglas, of Mansonville, Drome Cot, Quebec. Dur lug the first four months, when I looked forward to becoming mother, I suf fered very much from nau sea and vomiting, ami t leu so terriDiy sick i coma scarcely eat or drink: any thing, I hated all kinds of food. At this time 1 wrote to Dr. Pierce, and he told me to Favorite Prefer! titlon 1 nnd a bottle of Medical Discovery.' I cot a bottle of each, and when I IukI takeu them a few davs. I felt much better, and when I had taken hardly three parti of each bottle J felt well and could at as well as any one. and could do ruy work without any trouble (I could not do anything before), t feel very thankful to Dr. Pierre for bis medicine, and I tell all who tell me they are sick, to get these medicines, or write to Dr, Pierce." Those who suffer' from chronic dis eases are invited to consult Dr. Pierce, by letter, free. AH correspondence Btrictly private. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, ifugalo, N, Y.
