Cloud Banners OF tie Alps.

Among the most exquisite scenes which de-
light the eye Of the European traveller are
those rose cuorsd cloud banners, floating from
the Alpine cliffs But it is only in the sun
light that Nature hangs out these beautiful
tokens So it is only in the glow of health
the sunlight of our inner being-that nature
reveals those ply sical cloud banners, the " rosy
cheek the cherry lip" TO praise which
which every poet Of the earth has invoked the
Muse to aid him But they are as rare as the
cynical Hood conceived Christian charity to be.
Woman, eager to retain this charm, resorts to
French art and rouge The effect is similar
to that which would be produced by suhsttu-
ting auctoneers flags for the delicate
glowing cloud-bsnuers ufthe Alps. IL woman
would aid Nature instead of adopting ART,
would seek health instead Of vainIy trying to
mask disease, she would not only win the
greatest charm Of omanhood-health-b
she would avert much misery both from herself
and others. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton has received the highest praise from thou
sands of pale, delicate, suffering women. One
bottle often affords more relief than months Of
treatment by caustics and other medicines. -
1t is harmless in any condition Of the system.
and its use often renders the modest invalid
exempt from that most trying of ordeals-a
consultation with physician. II is the duty
Of every woman to become familiar with the
causes and symptoms Of the many diseases TO
which her peculiar organization renders her
liable, and also to learn the proper means OF
preventing these maades. The Peoples Med

Woman and her Diseases" The Author
also advises courses Of domestic treatment,
