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.
