32 ~~ SHIP-WRECKED. Humanity to the Rescue. If the news were flashed across the continent that on some desolate, inhospitable shore, a mother and child were ship-wrecked, it would not be an hour before relief expeditions were being planned and organized. Though the cost Should be millions, though the voyage should be long and perilous, though the woman east- away were the poorest of her sex, unstinted treasure would be poured out and life cheerfully risked to bring her back to-home and happiness, Is it any worse for mother and babe to perish -of disease and hunger on a desolate island than under a sheltering roof in a civilized land? How many mothers’ lives are wrecked by ill-health each year? How many infants die of innutrition annually? Why should not the story of such as these make appeal to human sympathy and stir men to organized effort for their relief. ~~ _—_— promptly as the crew of a life-boat respond to | the appeal of distressed mariners. By his medi- cines and advice hundreds of thousands of sick women have been made well, “I wish to add my testimony to hundreds of others as to the value of Dr. Pierce’s medicines,” writes Mrs. Ida M. De Ford, of Latona, Hub- bard Co., Minn. ‘Have doctored with a great many physicians—some specialists; have twice been in a hospital for treatment, My case has been regarded as a hopeless one, and they knew not whit the trouble was. Heart was bad ; stom- ach all out of order; tired out, severe pains in all parts of the body; Sinking spells and nearly every ailment a woman could have. I took many a bottle of different ‘Patent medicines’ without effect. I began taking Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre- scription, and then months afterward [ gave birth to a ten-pound boy. All physicians had | stated as a fact that I never could bear a child. Both the baby and myself were strong,and I got along splendidly—thanks to your medicine. Ido i a eS ane my Own work and feel very much encour- aged. I wish all suffering women would thoroughly try your ‘Favorite Prescrip- tion.’ ”? IS A WOMAN’S WORD GOOD? Upon the answer to that question de- pends the value of statements such as those made by Mrs. De Ford. She ‘‘doe- tored with many physicians—some speciat- ists,’ without benefit. She has‘‘ twice been in hospital.” ee a: was regarded as a hopeless one.’’ She turned to the use of ‘patent medicines without effect.” And after all this suffering and the fail- ures of the medicines and doctors, she was cured by the use of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite . Prescription. Any woman who can read such a state- ment as Mes. De Ford’s and doubt its truth casts a doubt upon the truthfulness only one of thottsands written by women me glad and grateful for healing by the tse “em Of Doctor Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. _—— FOUNDED ON FACTS. “Favorite Prescription” establishes reg- | me “2ularity, dries offensive and weakening | drains, heals inflammation and ulceration } . ce ~ and cures female weakness.
