Who can tell how hard the Struggle may have been ere she learnt to resigu herself to her lonely lot? The ab sence of this link to bind marital life to gether, tho absonce ol this one pledge to mutual affection is a common dlsan- polntment. Many unfortunate couples bocome estranged thereby. Even if they do not drift apart, one may read the whole extent of their disappointment In the eyes of such a childless couple when they rest on the children of others. To them the largest family does not seem too numerous. It will rather appear to them that those on whom this blessing has been moot richly bestowed hardly value It suffi ciently. In many cases of barrenness or child lessness the obstacle to child-bearing Is easily removed by the cure nf weakness on the part of the woman. Dr. I'lerco's Fa vorite Prescription has been the means of restoring health and fruitfulness to many a barren woman, to the great joy of the household. In other, but rare cases, the obstruction to the bearing of children has been found to be of a surgical character, buteaslly removable by painless operative treatment at the Invalids' Hotel and Sur gical Institute, Buffalo, X. Y., over which Dr. Pierce of the "Favorite Prescription" fame presides. In all cases where chil dren are desired and are absent, an effort should be made to find out the real cause, since It is generally so easily removed by oroner treatment. In all the various weaknesses, displace ments. Drolaustis. ante-verslona. retro versions, inflammation of ovaries, leucor- rhoea, giving rise to disagreeable and weakening drains, and in all cases of nervousness, nervous prostration and debility. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip tion is the most etliclent remedy that can possibly be used. It has to its credit hundreds of thousands of cures more In fact than any other remedy put up for sale through drngglsts, especially for woman's use. You do not have to take Dr. Pierce's word alone for this, Ixtcause the ingredients of which tha "Favorite Prescription" are composed have received the most positive endorsement from the leading medical writers on Mokrta Medica of all the several schools of practice. All the ingredients are printed in plain English on the wrapier enclosing the bottle, so that if you are an invalid woman and make use of this famous medicine you know exactly what you are taking. I Jr. Pierce takes his patients Into his full con fidence, which he can afford to do as the formula after which the "Favorite Pre scription" Is made will bear the most careful examination. You do not have to experiment when taking Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, as with the many fake. Cheap John Med icines that are sent out on trail, composed of cheap and often harmful Ingredients.
