TREATING THE WRONG
DISEASE.
How large bills are run up without
benefit to the sufferer.

Many times women call On their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine, Que
from dyspepsia, another from nervous dis
ease, another from liver OF kidney disease,
another with pain here and there, and in
this way they all present alike to them
selves and their easy-going, indifferent or
over-busy doctors, separate and distinct dis
eases, for which they prescribe their pills
and potions, assuming them to be such,
when, in reality, they are all only symptoms
caused by some womb disease The physi-
clan ignorant of the cause of suffering, ef1-
courages his practice until large bills are
made. The suffering patient gets no better,
but probably worse, by reason of the delay,

tions. proper medicine, like Dr.. Pierce's

want to become business men. They leave

young people go to school until they are
seventeen or eighteen, they don't feel as If
they could begin at the bottom of the lad

business life with a knowledge of what to

sons and daughters to US nowadays for

will soon learn" They are sincere in their
belief, but business is absolutely business

honest with them and tell them so. they
will answer that they have to get their ex-

In addressing you today do not care to

notably at It's best. Hers Is a new adar-
tation made from the original French
play. "Denise," by Clement Scott and

dramatizaiion of his novel, "when Greek
Meets Greek" which has obtained al

play, which was running in London last
spring, was originally called "Ibe Roll

NethersoIe, who saw much more than
the average merit in II, and
realized that by scurring IL, she would
have opportunity OF portraying a char
acter quite different to any with which
her name has been associated. The tiltle
was changed TO "a Daughter OF
France" because ii denotes the chief
character Of the play. Miss Nether role
has hitherto appeared In modern plays,
which Of course, call for modern gowns.

knowledge thst she cuts a very swsgger
figure In her complete court costume.
"A Daughter OF France" requires the

tions, are Americans.a chorus OF 20 voices
and q host CT supernumeraries. Special
scenery has been built for this produc-
tion. and the music, which is all original

the period is the early days of the French
revolution at tie time of the ssoking of

represents IN this play a young French
girl, Msthilcs de Louvet, who undergoes
great sacrifices and hardships for her
country's sake, and Is finally driven mad
BY the persecution OF her persistent sd-
mirer, whom she detests.
