A WOMAN'S- WISBOM.
The worried mother wakes up to hear her baby's heavy breathing a little
cough perhaps the croup or whooping cough. She does not want to send for the
doctor when perhaps the trouble does not amount to much. Finally she thinks of
that medical book her father gave her, The Common Sense Medical Adviser, by
R. V. Pierce, M. D. She says " just the thing to find out what is the matter with
the little dear." Two million households in this country own one and it's to
be had for only 31c. in stamps 1,000 pages in splendid cloth binding. A good
family adviser in any emergency. It is for either sex. This is what many women
write Dr. Pierce in respect to his " Favorite Prescription," a remedy which has
made thousands of melancholy and miserable women cheerful and happy, by curing
the painful womanly diseases which undermine a woman's health and strength.
"My dfisire is to write a few lines to let you know what
your valuable medicine has done for me," writes Mbs.
Margaret ZtiEiiKnT, of 333 S. Bentalon Street, Baltimore,
Md. " Before the storek came to our house I was a very sick
woman. I wrote you for advice which was kindly given and
which made me a different woman in a short time. After
taking the first bottle of 'Favorite Prescription' I began
improving so that, I hardly knew I was in such a condition.
I did my own housework washing and ironing, cooking,
sewing, and the worst of all nursed three children who had
whooping cough. I hardly knew of the advent ten minutes
before so easy was it. The baby is as fat as a butter-balu
