Indebted to His Wife.

Writing of the greatness Of Dwight
L. Moody. in McClure's Magazine, Pro-
fessor Drummond says: ''If you We're
to ask Mr.. Moody-which 1t would
never occur to you to do-what, apart
from the inspiration Of his personal
faith, was the secret of his success, of
his happiness and usefulness in life,
he would assuredly answer. Mrs.
Moody"
The professor means more than
merely to state the fact that Mrs.
Moody has greatly aided her husband
In his successful and useful life. He
intends to show that MI. Moody knows
she has powerfully helped him to at
tain his commanding position. and is
willing that the world should also
know his indebtedness to her.
This acknowledgment, Prof. Drum
mond thinks. Is one evidence Of Mr..
Moody's greatness. The professor is
right There are too many successful
men who trade upon their wives capt
tai. and never acknowledge that
though silent, they are effective part.

Think what a volume of experience
she has to draw from! No physician
living ever treated so many cases of
female ills, and from this vast expert
ence surely it is more than possible
she has gained the very knowledge
that will help your case.
She is glad to have you write or call
upon her. You will find her woman
full of sympathy, with great desire to
assist those who are sick. If her medi-
cine is not what you need, she will
frankly tell you so, and there are nine
chances out of ten that she will tell
You exactly what to do for relief. She
asks nothing in return except your
good will, and her advice has relieved
thousands.
Surely, any ailing woman, rich or
poor, is very foolish If she does not
take advantage of this generous offer
of assistance.
Never In the history of medicine has
the demand for one particular remedy
for female diseases equalled that at.
