thers suffer from various sympathetic disturbances, as
"morning sickness," impaired appetite, constipation, diarrhea, headache,
"heart-burn," fainting fits, difficult breathing, and sometimes
convulsions. A strong nervous sympathy exists between the uterus and
every part of the system and this sympathy is greatly intensified by
pregnancy, causing the distressing symptoms above mentioned.

TREATMENT. By proper treatment, most of these evils can be obviated and
the patient made comfortable. By the moderate use of such a nervine and
uterine tonic as Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, this nervous
irritability may be controlled or subdued, and the disagreeable symptoms
thus avoided.

While the female is pregnant, she should avoid all compression of the
waist and abdomen. For this reason tight clothing, stays, or corsets
must be discarded. She should also carefully regulate her diet,
selecting that which is most nutritious and easily digested.

The nausea which occurs in the morning may generally be avoided by
partaking of a little light food and a cup of tea or coffee before
leaving the bed. If vomiting occurs, and the ejected matter be very
acid, carbonate of magnesia, taken in tablespoonful doses, or some
alkali with aromatics, or pulverized charcoal, which can be obtained at
any drug store, will afford relief. If constipation or diarrhea be
experienced, small doses of Dr. Pierce's Pellets should be employed--one
or two only at a time. Want of appetite, headache, or a tendency to
convulsions, can be generally overcome by a persistent use of Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription, which should be taken in teaspoonful
doses three or four times each day. Indeed, this valuable medicine not
only relieves the distressing symptoms which frequently attend the
pregnant state, but also prepares the system for the ordeal of
parturition (delivery). One or two bottles of this nervine and tonic
used previous to confinement, will, in many cases, save hours of
terrible suffering, besides regulating the system, and thus insuring a
speedy recovery. We have received the heartfelt thanks of hundreds of
grateful mothers for the inestimable benefit thus conferred. The
Favorite Prescription is perfectly safe and harmless to use _at all
times_ and under all circumstances in the doses above prescribed.
