The secret of happiness is health. The
secret of woman's attractiveness is health.
Health is responsible for the ecstasy of
lovers kiss-of husbands love. Health
makes plump, smooth neck and shoulders
full cheeks, bright eyes, red lips, a
breath like flowers III health brings
out the bones, deadens the eyes and skin,
whitens the lips, makes the breath un-
bearable. No woman likes to be hideous
no woman likes to see the love light
fade from her husbands eyes. No wo-
man need be unhealthy or unattractive.
III health in women is nine times in ten
directly traceable to some disease or dis
order of the organs distinctly feminine
These things are serious but they can be
scured-sometimes quickly and easily
sometimes slowly, but always surely BY
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
This wonderful medicine is designed
for one single 1urpose,-to make women
healthy in wo1nanly way. To stop the
burning, aching pain and facilitating
drains common to diseased womankind
The almost miraculous help it gives is
best told by those who have used it. The
following letter is only one chosen at
random among thousands:

The Texas Good for Nothing.

WASHINGTON, November %. 1t is learn
ed that without extensive alterations it is
very doubtful whether the Texas can be
again ordered to sea 1t is understood
that evidence was adduced to show that
81 OF her compartments leaked when the
engine room was flooded and that a leak
sprung in any one of them at sea would
have surely caused the loss of the ship.
Not only were all the alleged water tight
doors found to be loose, but in the opin-
ion of at least one member Of the court,
appointed to investigate the matter, the
whole bulk head system is utterly useless.
The Texas was built from plans obtain
ed from a British naval architect during
the first Cleveland Administration. and
has been a costly failure.
