of this than the fact that the old shut
up washstand is surely and certainly
passing out of date. 1t is being sue

tifully made, and by the metal wash
stand, which is enameled and some
times slightly gi ded aud fitted out
with a handsome toilet set, so that it is
as ornamental and dainty a piece of
furniture as one can well imagine.
Dark cupboards and closets, every
corner of which is not thoroughly Wis.,
BILE when the doors are open, and what
light there is is thrown upon them have
no place in good housekeeping. Such
places are apt to be 'cluttered" full of
all sorts of clothing, old shoes and
other things which are stored away for
the time till the owner has leisure to
look them over and sort out the useful
from the useless; but alasi that time of
leisure seldom ,mes The shelves and

sorts of things and draw all manner of

Prescription puts a stop to it. It's
remedy for all the delicate de-
rangements and disorders that make
her suffer, and a cure for all the dis

her weak. It's legitimate medi-

tonic that invigorates and builds
up; nervine that soothes and
strengthens. For bearing down
pains, displacements, all the func-

Other medicines claim to cure !?
That's true. But they don't claim
to do this: if the Favorite Pre-

in any case for which it's recon-
mended, the money paid for it is
