* Pleasant Dreams
Cries the young maid to her mother, as
she retires to rest. The mother smiles,
but sighs. She knows that the pains
that rack her will not stop for darkness,
and that if she
sleeps her dreams
mil only be echoes
Bfy the sufferings
of the day.
Why not sleep
soundly and rise
refreshed at morn-
ing, with strength
ana courage for
the day's duties?
Weak, nervous
women, sufferers
from backache,
bearing-down
pains, and other
womanly ail-
ments, have found
a perfect cure in
Dr. Pierce’s Fa-
vorite Prescrip-
tion. It heals the
womanly diseases
which cause the
pains and nervousness. It makes weak
women strong and sick women well.
■I deem it my duty to express my heartfelt
gratitude for having been the mean,, under
Providence, of restoring me to health,* writes
Mrs. B. H. Munn, of Springhill, Leon Co., Fla.
■ For nearly two years I suffered from female
weakness so I could not stand on my feet any
length of time; could scarcely walk at all.
Appetite was much Impaired; I bad bearing-
down sensations: can’t express how badly 1
did feel. Had tried several kinds of medicine
which did me little or no good. At last decided
to try Dr, Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. I had
not taken all of two bottles before I saw it was
benefiting me, so I continued to take it until I
had taken seven bottles, whan I felt entirely
cured. Did not feel a touch of my old com-
plaint. It has been over a year since I took
wour medieine. and I can truthflilly say that
lay health has been better for the last year than
it had been for four years previously.
