Matrimonial Snags.
-----
     "She wasn't like this before we married," muses Mr. Younghusband disconsolately. And he is quite right. If he would only carry the idea of change in his wife far enough he would be able to understand her feelings and sympathize with her condition. But his estimate of change stops at externals-- at the tears, nervousness and irritability which are but surface symptoms of the real change she is undergoing.
     There is no time when young women stand so much in need of good motherly advice as in the early days of married life, and there is perhaps no time when, as a rule, the young wife is left so entirely alone to grope her own way to happiness in doubt and uncertainty. Of the laws governing her womanly health she knows nothing. She becomes nervous, irritable, sleepless, dejected. To her, already, marriage is a failure. She sees long unhappy years before her, and shrinks from them. 
          THE HELP SHE NEEDS
     Evidently in such a case a woman needs help, and the help she needs will be found in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It will cure nervousness, sleeplessness and irritability, encourage the failing appetite, and bring back the physical buoyancy which has been lost.
     "When I wrote to you some time ago asking for advice I was in very poor health," writes Mrs. Ethel Tretpo, Merrill (West Merrill), Wis., Box 54, "suffering continually with severe pains and terrible headaches, and confined to my bed the greater part of the time. I thought I was in a delicate condition, and thinking that something must be wrong I consulted three different doctors. None could tell me what my case was. One said that in no way could I be helped except by having an operation. Every woman dreads the though of an operation, and so did I. After reading one of Dr. Pierce's pamphlets I decided to write to him. I did so, and was told my case resulted from catching cold and not properly caring for my health at the time of monthly period, also that my kidneys were in bad condition. My back was fairly sore from continual aching, and sometimes when I would lie down some on had to rub my back for nearly an hour before I could get any rest. I had a bad cough all the time, and my friends thought I had consumption, or was surely running into it. After taking three bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and two of the 'Golden Medical Discovery' and two vials of Dr. Pierce's Pellets I am able to say truly that I am cured. I thank God and Dr. Pierce so much for being in as good health as I am to-day."
               A GREAT RECORD.
     Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription makes weak women strong, sick women well. In seven little words is summed up the cure of hundreds of thousands of weak and sick women. But it would take volumes to tell the story of these cures; for they cover every variety of womanly disease curable by medicine. Often the cure has passed the border line where the use of medicine ends and surgery begins, and in not a few cases where the ailing woman has been told there was no help for her except in an operation, the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has restored her to perfect and permanent health.
     "I cannot express my joy and happiness, no thank you enough for all the good your medicines have done for me," writes Mrs. Anna Russell, of Harrison, Maine, Box 102. "When I began taking your medicine my weight was 105 pounds, now it is 120. I was troubled with female weakness and had severe backache, ovarian trouble, also ulceration. Left lung was swollen nearly all the time and pained me very much so that at times it was all I could do to take my breath. For six years I suffered dreadfully all over and had many different medicines but with very little help, if any at all. I couldn't eat anything except it hurt me very much, would bloat in bowels and have much pain. Had no appetite. A year ago last November I decided to write to Dr. Pierce, and received his kind advice, free. By following his instructions and taking the medicine faithfully I began to improve at once, and, although I have not taken a drop of medicine since last August, I feel perfectly well-- better than I have for the last eight years . I believe that Dr. Pierce's medicines are a God-send to all suffering women. They saved me an operation, for three doctors told me I would never get well without going to a hospital and having an operation performed."
               TO SUFFERING WOMEN.
     This message comes to you from hundreds of thousands of women who were once sick and suffering: Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has completely cured us of disease and made us well and happy women. Can you afford if you are sick to neglect such an opportunity of cure? Other medicines may have failed you. Local physicians may have said you could not be cured. But if you have not tried "Favorite Prescription," you have neglected the use of the medicine which has cured when all other medicines failed, and doctors proclaimed a cure to be impossible.
     Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription establishes regularity, dries weakening drains, heals inflammation and ulceration, and cures female weakness. As a tonic and nervine it is unequaled in its strengthening powers. It restores the lost health and gives back color to the cheek and plumpness to the form.
     Sick women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce, by letter, free, and so avoid the offensive examinations, indelicate questions and obnoxious local treatments often deemed necessary by the home physician. All letters are treated as strictly private and sacredly confidential. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
     "Favorite Prescription" has the testimony of thousands of women to its complete cure of womanly disease. Do not accept an unknown and unproved substitute in its place.
