'"It affords me great pleasure to be able to say
a few words its regard to the muerits of Dr.
Pierce's Favorite P'rescriptioni and 'Golden
Medical Discovery,'" wvtites Mrs. Flora Arn, of
Dallas, Jackson Co.. Mo. "I was tempted to try
these medicines after seeing the effect upon my
mother. At an earty age or muarried life I was
greatly bothe red with painaful periods, also a
troubtlesomte dlraini which rendered mne weak
anud unfit for work of' any kind. Ilbecamei so

more pain, and I began to gain in flesh very
