- Many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, a. they imagine, one
from dyspepsia, another from heart disease,
another from liver or kidney disease, another
1rosn nervous exhaustion, or prostration,
another with pain hero and there, and in
this way they all present, alike to themselves
and their easy-going and Indifferent, or over
BUSY doctor, separate and distinct diseases,
for which he prescribes his pills and potions,
assuming them to be such, when, in reality,
then are all only symptoms caused by some
womb disorder. The physician, ignorant of
the cause of suffering, encourages his practice
until large bills are made. The suffering
patient gets no better, but probably worse
by reason of tho delay, wrong treatment and
consequent complications. A proper medi-
cine, like DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription,
directed to the cause would have entirely
removed the disease, thereby dispelling all
those distressing symptoms and instituttnS
comfort instead of prolonged misery.

Benefits of Good Roads.

Many people who have not studied the subject of improved roads do not under stand the immense benefit which they bring to q community. Yet of all the thousands of miles of good roads shat have been made ill this and other coun tries the first mile has not yet been
 found that has not proved to be profita- ble. The increase in land values alone is always more than enough to pay for the improvement. Some benefits and ad- vantages we cannot always compute i'll dollars and cents, and some things our common sense impels us to take for granted. No farmer i'll this country car tell the money value of all education, and yet each farmer comedies its value and sends his children to school and watches carefully their advancement ill knowledge. Good health is of infinite value, and the farmer seeks it and guards it, but he cannot tell its value ill dollars and cents. The same is truo of good habits, good morals and good clothes. Do not, therefore, waste any time i'll doubting the value of a good road. The people of other countries who have used bad roads and now use good ones are we'll satisfied that every dollar spent in this work is good investment, and not one of them would tolerate the miscr able dirt roads with which so many American farmers seem to be content.- Country Roads
