In monarchic countries the wife of the king became the queen—/se wo- man. meaning and every woman becomes a queen. In America we give the word back its original The crown of womanhood is maternity. Every healthy woman looks forward to marriage. Every wife looks for- ward to motherhood as the crown of wifehood. And yet there are many uncrowned queens; women who because the desire for children is unrealized feel that they have missed the full regal height of womanhood. It is one of the sad features of a large bureau of medical correspondence such as is conducted by Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., that it has to deal so many times with the dissappointed hopes of women who have failed of the hap- piness of maternity. But it is one of the glad privileges of thissame medical correspondence bureau that in the greater number of such cases the obstacles to maternity are overcome by the establishment of the womanly health. Not infrequently women write that they feel perfectly well and cannot understand why they are denied the ma- ternal happiness which they desire. Such women learn that feeling well and being well are widely different mat- tersy Few women are by nature debarred from the hap- piness of maternity. Inthe majority of cases Dr. Pierce’s Prescription, supplemented by his free medical ion by letter, are sufficient to establish the wo- Favori consult . manly h@alth and remove the obstacles to maternity. AN OPERATION AVOIDED, “l had been a sufferer from uterine trouble for about three years, having two mishaps in that time, and the t consulted said that I would have to go octors that 3 > | could give birth to chil- through an operation before MY QUEEN. 3 eS dren,’’ writes Mrs, Blanche E, Evans, of Parsons, Luzerne Co., Pa., Box 41. ‘‘When about to give up in despair I saw the advertisement of Dr. Piérce’s medicine in the Wilkesbarre Record, and thought I would give it a trial asalast resort. I bought a bottle of Dr. Pierce’s Favor- ite Prescription from the druggist, T. F. O’Donnell, of Parsons, and after taking it felt better than I had for years. Felt improved before I had taken one-half of the bottle. After I had taken four anda half bottles I gave birth toa bright baby girl who is now four months old, and has not had a day of sickness. She is as bright as can be. | cannot say too much in praise of Dr. Pierce’s-Favor- ite Prescription.”’ Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is peculiariy and peewee a medicine for the cure of diseases peculiar to women. It will cure any disease which is curable by the use of medicine, and often cures diseases pronounced in- curable by local hysicians. or which they state are cur- - able only by surgery. dries weakening drains, heals inflammation and ulceration and cures female weakness. It is the best preparative for motherhood; tranquilizing the nerves, encouraging the appetite and induc- ing refreshing sleep. It makes the baby’s advent practically painless. “For five years my wife was in an almost help- less condition, suffering from female weakness,” writes J. B. Everritt, Esq., of Hagerman, Wash- ington Co., Fla. “Last September I decided to try Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. She took several bottles of the medicine and gave birth to a ten-pound son on January 31st, 1898. She is now sound and well, and doing her housework.” “I gladly recommend Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription,” writes Mrs. J. W. G. Stephens, of Mila, Northumberland Co., Va. “Before my third little boy was born I took six bottles. He is the finest child, and has been from birth, and I suf- fered very much less than I ever did before. I unhesitatingly advise expectant mothers to use ‘Favorite Prescription.’ ’ AN INVITATION TO WOMEN.
