As Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
for womanly diseases. N& one knows
this better than the woman who has
tried local doctors and many medicines
and found no cure until she began
the use of "Favorite Prescription." It
establishes regularity, stops weakening
drains, heals inflammation and ulceration
and cures female weakness. It
makes weak women strong and sick
women well.
"I was troubled for three years with ulceration
and female weakness and my doctor gave
me but little relief," writes Mrs. Lulu Hunter,
of Allenton, St. Ijcuis Co., Mo. "I saw an
advertisement in the paper of Doctor Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. I began the use of it
about a year ago. I took five bottles of it. and
one bottle of ' Golden Medical Discovery,' and
rav health is better now than it was for years.
I have also recommended these medicines to
some of my friends, who suffered from female
weakness, and good results have followed."
