i The fact that all women suffer during
J the birth-hour leads a great many women
to accept a degree of suffering which is
1 altogether 'unnecessary. Sometimes it
! is hours, sometimes days before the
j struggle is over. Xo medicine can ab!
solutelv eliminate pain from this time
i cf travail, but I)r. Pierce's Favorite Pre!
scription can and does make the baby's
uflvpnt nrrirficnilv nainless. It acts noon
i tli2 organs of maternity, giving them
i strength and elasticity. It produces
; physical comfort and mental cheerfuli
iiess. It is an effective tonic, giving
j the mother abundant nutrition for her
child.
"I believe I owe inv life to I)r. Pierce's rcmej
dies. and have long felt it ray duty to acknowledge
the benefit I received from Dr. Pierce s
j Favorite Prescription and ' Pleasant Pellets.' "
says Mrs. Maria O. Havzel. writing front ProokI
land. D. C. ''Six years ago. after the birth of
i one of my children. I was left in a wcak.runi
down condition. My heaiih seemed utterly
I gone. Life was a burden. I doctored with three
1 different physicians and got no relief. I began
j to get worse, and to add to the complications. I
I suffered terribly from constipation. I chanced
, to see one 01 your advertisements ana conciuuea
I to try the above remedies. I commenced to take
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and ' Pleasant
Pellets,'and began to improve right away, and
continued improving and gaining in strength.
| I cannot express the relief, it was so great.
1 Seven months later my little daughter was born
without much trouble. I feel that I would never
have been able to endure my confinement only
for the help due solely to Dr. Pierce's medicines.
She was a fine, healthy child, and the only one
I have ever been able "to nurse."
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure constipation.
