A HABD <'OI-M-.lt,
The age of 30 is a hard corner for a woman to
..irn. ami S3 is still harder. She feels that she Is
fast leaving her youth behind her.     But thero is
 why a woman should be faded and paasa
sven at 45. The chief cause of the early
fading of American women _h found in the fact
that many of them suffer from some form of female weakness or disease which robs the face of
its bloom, draws dark circles about the eyes,
brings early wrinkles and sallowness, add stamps
the face und tlgure with signs of ill-health. Dr.
Pierce's Favorite- Prescription will cure all these
troubles, will bring back tho lost bloom, and remove the pains and ailments which make women
grow old before their time.    Guaranteed to give
itisfaettnii in all cases, or prlco ($1.00) refunded.
