MOTHERS OF CANADA
PREPARE FOR TROUBLE
When a girl becomes a woman, when
a woman becomes a mother, and when a
Roman passes through the changes of
middle life, are the three periods of life
when health and strength are most needed
to withstand the pain and distress often
caused by severe organic disturbances.
Many thousands in this section would
testify' as do the following:
St. Catharines, Ont. —"Over forty
years ago I was ;restored to health by
taking Dr. Pierce's
. Favorite Prescrip-
tion. It was after
medicine and doc-
tors had failed to
help me or give
relief. I had,
through overwork,
become all run-
down in health. I
was weak and
finally became a
nervous wreck. Thd
'Prescription' *as
recommended t o
me, and at the time :[ ' started to
take it I bad not been able to do any-
thing for over a year. I took the "Fav-
orite
Fav-
orite Prescription' and the 'Golden Medi-
ca' Discovery' as well. It took several
bottles, but I was completely restored to
good health and since that time when I
have felt the need of these medicines I
have taken them and always with perfect
satisfaction.ii; bins: WM. BA,$Err,; 33
Page St,' t 'ti; o` " ,
Stratford, Ont. —I was all run-down,
weak, nervous, I also suffered with severe
pains thibugh my back. I was very
miserable when a friend advised me to
tryDr. Pierces" Favorite Prescription :
and one bottle seemed to give e xonewed
strength,' 'Xt stopped the pain in my
back,' altio helped My nervous condition.
It is surely a good tonic for women,—
