down," Irritable and feels tired from morning to night. When pains and aches
raok the womanly system at frequent intervals, Mk your ntlthbor about
Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
Mrs. J. Iunor, of 321 8. RenUlon Street, Baltimore, Md., says: "I

fin baby oirlane wnltihod nine pounds when bom. 8he U my third child
