=As a soothing and strengthening nervine=, "Favorite Prescription"
is unequalled and is invaluable in allaying and subduing nervous
excitability, irritability, exhaustion, prostration, hysteria, spasms
and other distressing, nervous symptoms commonly attendant upon
functional and organic disease of the womb. It induces refreshing sleep
and relieves mental anxiety and despondency.
=Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a legitimate medicine=,
carefully compounded by an experienced and skillful physician, and
adapted to woman's delicate organization. It is purely vegetable in its
composition and perfectly harmless in its effects in any condition of
the system.
="Favorite Prescription" is a positive cure= for the most complicated
and obstinate cases of leucorrhea, or "whites," excessive flowing
at monthly periods, painful menstruation, unnatural suppressions,
prolapsus or falling of the womb, weak back, "female weakness,"
anteversion, retroversion, bearing-down sensations, chronic congestion,
inflammation and ulceration of the womb, inflammation, pain and
tenderness in ovaries, accompanied with internal heat.
=In pregnancy=, "Favorite Prescription" is a "mother's cordial,"
relieving nausea, weakness of stomach and other distressing symptoms
common to that condition. If its use is kept up in the latter months of
gestation, it so prepares the system for delivery as to greatly lessen,
and many times almost entirely do away with the sufferings of that
trying ordeal.
="Favorite Prescription,"= when taken in connection with the use of
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and small laxative doses of Dr.
Pierce's Purgative Pellets (Little Liver Pills), cures Liver, Kidney
and Bladder diseases. Their combined use also removes blood taints, and
abolishes cancerous and scrofulous humors from the system.
_Treating the Wrong Disease._--Many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine, one from dyspepsia, another
from heart disease, another from liver or kidney disease, another from
nervous exhaustion or prostration, another with pain here or there, and
in this way they all present alike to themselves and their easy-going
and indifferent, or over-busy doctor, separate and distinct diseases,
for which he prescribes his pills and potions, assuming them to be
such, when, in reality, they are all only _symptoms_ caused by some
womb disorder. The physician, ignorant of the cause of suffering,
encourages his practice until large bills are made. The suffering
patient gets no better, but probably worse by reason of the delay,
wrong treatment and consequent complications. A proper medicine, like
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, _directed to the cause_ would have
entirely removed the disease, thereby dispelling all those distressing
symptoms, and instituting comfort instead of prolonged misery.
