The feaalthy woman need not fear the change which comes as the beginning of life's autumn. It is the woman who is worn out, run down and a sufferer from womanly diseases who naturally dreads the change of life. This is the critical period of woman's life, and the prevalence of womanly diseases makes it the duty of every woman who would avoid unnecessary suffer ing to take especial care of herself at this time. The ills which vex so many women at the change of life are entirely avoided or cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Fa vorite Prescription. It makes weak women strong, and enables the weakest to pass through this trying change with -the tranquility of perfect health.
