A Quart Baby.
Now and again there is an item in the
newspapers concerning the birth of a
Kbaby so small that a quart cup
1 it comfortably. If the article tola
all the facts it would probably tell also
of a mother who in weakness and misery
had looked forward to the baby’s advent
with shrinking and fear.
To have fine, healthy children the
mother must be healthy, and it is the
common testimony
•f mothers that the
use of Dr. Pierce’s
Favorite Prescrip-
tion not only pro-
motes the mother’s
health but also gives
her strength to give
her child.
"Favorite Pre-
scription ” accom-
plishes these results
by tranquilizing the
nerves, promoting a
haatthy appetite,
and giving refresh-
ing sleep. It increases physical vigor
and gives great muscular sJasticity, so
that the baby’s advent is practically
painless. It is the best of tonics for
nursing mothers.
«I gladly recommend Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription," writes Mrs. J. W. G. Stephens, of
Mila. Northurrberland Ccnsaty, ▼«. "Before
my third little boy was born I Took six bottles.
He ia the finest child and haa been from birth,
and I suffered very mueh leas than I ever did
before. I unhesitatingly advjse expectant
mothers to uae the ‘ Favorite Prescription.’ ”
The dealer who sffcra a assbetitute for
” Favorite Prescription ” does so to gain
the little more profit paid on the sale
of less meritorious msdioitws.
