Let every enfeebled woman
know it! There's a medicine
thatll cure her, and the proofs
positive
Here's the proof = if it
doesn't do you good within
reasonable time, report the
fact to its makers and get
your money back without
a word-but you won't do it /!
The remedy is DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription and it
has proved itself the right
remedy in nearly every case
of female weakness.
1t is not miracle. 1t won't
cure everything but it has
done more to build-up tired,
enfeebled and broken down
women than any other medi-
cine known.
Where's the woman who's
not ready for it? All that
we've to do is to get the
news to her. The medicine
will do the rest.
Wanted Women. First
to know it. Second. to use
it. j, Third to be cured by it.
The one comes of the other.

The Opelousas courier., 1891-03-21
Urgent.

We deem it timely and proper to
renew our discussion of the urgent
necessity of erecting public school
houses in Opelousas,
To say that from the fact that. there
is not one here, we are, and for period
of years, have been, without boy or,
a girl school, the one separate from the
other, is quite enough said, to present
the question glaringly.
Forty-five years since, there was
more attention given to schooling than
now. Prof. Chas. Thienneman then,
kept a good school here and its bene-
fetal effects upon the minds of the
generation of that period are traceable
even yet. He, like the teachers of the
present day in this town, had to furnish
his own buildings. This was all right
enough, in his case as he taught a
school without the aid of public school
funds. Prof. Thos. Rand established
one here in about 1853, and taught in
the College buildings. Prof. G. A.
Frazee, taught also, and occupied the
same buildings at a later day, but it
should be obsei we'd that al, these
schools were institutions Of prsuGte, not
public enterprise. The town siien, as
now, had no public school house. In
comparing those with the present years,
one thought occurs to the mind with
the force of conviction, which Is that,
the heads of families were more eager
then than now, to have their children
taught. If parents would show some
anxiety to establish good schools here,
| competent teachers could be found
ready and eager to come, but as moth
ing of the kind is ever even mooted,
| the public schools are all we can hope
| to have.
To our mind the minds pabulnm,
is as necessary as the food that nourishes
and invigorates the body. An elevated
conception of the mission of life.
1 prompts the cultivation of the mind
quite as forcibly as the necessity o.
supplying the body with food. We do
not live to eat ard make a display ol
the bodily comforts alone. We have
no means of knowing the fact with
absolute certainty, but it seems to d;
that the inbecile. and idiot, are the
examplars of contentment, if the men
tai or intellectual pleasures are to be
ignored.
