The love of children Is n natural, womanly In
stinct. Not to be able to hold to her breart a babe
of her own, is a disappointment to the woman who
is heart hungry for the touch of baby fingers and
the caressing of baby lips. It happens in somo
cases that the mother instinct is never to be grati
fied. Nature has placed obstacles in the way of
maternity which cannot be overcome by medicine
or surgery. But these cases are comparatively
rare. A more common condition is that in which
though maternity is achieved, the child has not
vitality enough to survive more than
a few months.
As a gcticral rule the obstacles to
maternity have their root in womanly
ill-health. There may be no outward
signs of illness, and in many cases
the woman docs not feel badly, but
the disease is there though unnoticed
and .unseen. When the womanly
health is established by the use of
Dr. Pierce's -Favorite Prescription
women who have for years been dis
appointed and have dispalred of ma
ternity have tasted at last the joys of
motherhood.
But even more than this can be said
for "Favorite Prescription." It gives
the joy of motherhood, and makes
the baby's advent practically painless.
It docs this by building up the wom
anly health and invigorating the en
tire womanly organism. Read what
mothers say about this wonderful
medicine for women.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
makes weak women strong
sick women well. It es
tablishes regularity, dries
disagreeable drains, heals
inflammation and ulcera
tion and cures female
weakness.

"I hare new written yon how rrttcfal I
am to you for your help in securing good
health aad one of the sweetest, dearest,
thirteen pound girls that erer came into a
home," writes Mrs. M. Vaetine, of 647 South
Liberty St., Galesburg, 111. "When I wrote
you about my ailments I was living in Rich
land, la. I took six bottles of Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription, four of the 'Golden
Medical Discovery' and four vials of Dr.
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. Before I hid
taken four bottles of the ' Favorite Prescrip
tion ' I was a new woman. I cannot make
pen describe my heartfelt gratitude."
"I would like to express my gratitude to
you for the benefit I have received from
your wonderful medicine, 'Favorite Pre
scription,' " writes Mrs. II, C. Anderson, of
South Britain, New Haven Co,, Conn. (Box
33I. "During the first month, when I an
ticipated becoming a mother, I could not
keep anything on my stomach. I was so
sick that I had to go to bed and stay for
weeks. I tried different doctors, but with
little benefit. I read about many being
ljelped by using your medicine so I thought
I would give it n trial. 1 began to take your
Favorite Prescription ' in November and I
had a nice little baby girl in February fol
lowing. My baby " weighed over eight
pounds. I was only sick about one hour
and got nlong nicely ; was up and dressed
on the eighth day. I never had the doctor
with me nt all ; just the nurse and one or
two friends. My friends thought that I was
sick a very short time. I think Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is indeed a true
'mother's friend,' for it helped me wonder
fully. It kept me from having a mishap.
This makes my second child ; with the first
one I did not take ' Favorite Prescription
and I had a mishap. The little one lived
just about two months and she was sick
all the time. This last baby is as plump and
healthy as any mother could winli. She is
about three weeks old now and is gaining in
flesh every day."
tion." lucre is
nothing "just as good" for weak and sickly women.
Sick women, especially those suffering from diseases of long stand
ing, are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter free. All correspond
ence is held as sacredly confidential and the written confidences of
women are guarded by the same strict professional privacy observed
in personal consultations at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
of which institution Dr. Pierce is chief consulting physician. Address
Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
In a little more than thirty years Dr. Pierce, assisted by his staff of
nearly a score of physicians, lias treated and cured hundreds of thou
sands of weak and sick women. It is not what is promised
.by Dr. Pierce, but what has been performed by him which
invites the confidence of ailing women. Many people offer
"free medical advice," though they are not physi
cians and are legally as well as medically incapable
of practicing medicine. The offer of free consulta
tion by letter has behind it a staff of medical spe
cialists, headed by Dr. Pierce as chief consulting
physician. Nothing is offered that is not given,
and, indeed, nothing more could be given by any
institution or corps of physicians at any price,
than is given free by Dr. Pierce.
