Manager. _ Bauernfround, Weekly Telegraph and Berlin House and Sign Painter THE TRADEBS BANK "How much does the baby weigh"‘ is only another way D of asking, "Is he healthy and strong?‘‘ When a baby is welcomed into the world with loving care and forethought, 6 W his chances of health and @myâ€"==sW strength are increased a hunâ€" CHikess®" dredâ€"fold. A prospective mother cannot begin too early to look after her own health and physâ€" ical condition. This is sure to be reflected in the baby. Any weakness or nervous deâ€" pression, or lack of vigor on the mother‘s part should be overcome early during the expectant time by the use of Dr. Pierce‘s Favorite Prescription, which promotes the perfect health and strengtlr of the organism specially concerned in motherhood. _It makes the coming of baby absolutely safe and comparatively free from pain; renâ€" ders the mother strong and cheerful, and transmits healthy constitutional vigor to the child. COUNTY OF WATERLOO No other medicine in the world has been such an unqualified blessing to mothers and their children. It is the one positive speâ€" cific for all weak and diseased tonditions of the feminine organism. It is the only medicine of its kind devised for this one purpose by a trained and educated special ist in this particular ‘feld. Mrs. F. B. Cannings, of No. 4320 Humphrey St., St. Louis, Mo., writes: "I am now a happy mother of a fine, healthy baby girl. Feel that your ‘Favorite Prescription‘ and little ‘ Pellets® have done me more good than anything I have ever taken. Three months previous to my conâ€" finement I began using your medicine. I took three bottles of the ‘Prescription.‘ Conseâ€" quences were I was only in labor fortyâ€"five minâ€" utes. With my first baby I sufi'eret{ 18 hours then had to lose him. He was very delicate and ouly lived 12 hours. For two years I suffered untold agony, and had two miscarriages. . The ‘Favorite Prescription ‘ saved both my child and myself. My baby is not yet three weeks old and { do not think I ever felt better in my life." Waterloo, Journal, please copy. 1â€"â€"46. FINE PHOTOS Charles N.
