young men are by no means blameless,
but innocently the young women are also
at fault. The fact of the matter is that
city and townbred girls are two frequent
ly semi-invalids, without fully realizing
it.
Zone of the saddest things in life is to
watch young women commit slow suicide.
OF course they don't know what they are
doing. Starting with good health,
strength, and good looks. everything
ahead of them seems promising But
they don't know how to live and take
care of their own health. Their mothers
are mainly at fault. They bring up their
daughters in an atmosphere of false deli
cacy and in utter ignorance of the anat-
omy distinctly feminine and its all impor-
tant functions.
"These young women study Latin and
Greek, 90 in for mathematics and ethics,
but are faulty in their habits of eating,
breathing, walking. sleeping, dressing
nd working. Worse than all else, they
are as ignorant as unborn babies of the
real and sublime importance of capable
motherhood, and of the grayer results
that follow neglect of the delicate organs
that make it possible. Moreover Health
is Beauty, and Health is Happiness.
Where there is health there Is always
amiability and some degree of beauty.
There may be sickly imitation of it
such as we see but too frequently on the
But this transient dollhouse loveliness of
the invalid is such to excite pity, sympa-
thy and consideration, but not to awaken
love in the heart of robust, hard-headed
young men.
"And the consequence. Girls grow
up to womanhood and pass on into I'M
natural spinsterhood, because of their ig-
norance of the importance of the health
and welfare of the womanly organism.
They suffer in silence from weakness and
disease that rob them of their health,
their beauty. and their capability to per-
form the duties of wifehood and mother
hood. They imagine, In their pitiful ig-
norance, that the ills from which they
suffer are inherent in all women. They
do not understand that health Is the nor
NAL tendency of nature, and all illness is
abnormal
From these innocent sufferers love
turns aside. The young man who is
worth marrying is ambitious. He looks
forward tc making fortune in business,
on name in profession. He under
stands that he cannot live always, and
dreams of perpetuating that fortune or
name in line of healthy, capable de-
scendants. He wants a healthy wife,
who will preside amiably in his home,
and be capable motherly mother to ro-
bust and promising children.
THAT kind of a young man, and it is
the only kind fitted for young husband
hood, SHES at the evanescent beauty of
the semi-lnyalid. He has seen invalid
ism in the homes of his friends, and if he
is city bred man has seen little else, and
with modern hard-headedness wants none
of it. While waiting for his ideal, the
habits of bachelorhood become fixed with
the result, as In France, that the govern
ment may soon have to drive men to
marriage by tax on bachelorhood.
There is no necessity for this deplor-
able state of affairs. If all young womt n
were taught by their mothers the su-
preme Importance of the perfect health
of the organs that make wifehood and
motherhood possible, invaidlsm among
women would soon be matter of ancient
history. There is hardly disease, either
general or local, from which women suffer
that does not have its inception in weak
ness of the distinctly feminine organism
The suffering wife and mother, racked
with pain, petulant, sickly, and untitled
for the duties of life, is only at fault in 80
far as she is ignorant of her own physi-
cal makeup and the importance of her
womanly health. If she will take the
proper care of herself and resort to the
right remedy any woman may be healthy,
happy, capable wife and mother, and in
some degree beautiful.
For all weakness and disease of the
delicate organs that bear the burden of
maternity, DIR. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription is a safe, sure and speedy cure.
1t acts directly on these organs, making
them strong and healthy. 1t allays in
fiammation, soothes pain, and stops all de-
bilitating drains 1t banishes the dis
comforts of the period preceding mother
hood and makes baby's coming almost
painless. It insures the health of baby
1t transforms weak, nervous, sickly,
fretful woman into robust, healthy,
happy, and amiable wife and mother.
1t does away with the necessity for the
embarrassing Eek aminations" and 'local
applications, so Objectionable to modest,
sensitive women. Thousands of women
have testified that it is the best of all
medicines for suffering women. Those
who wish to know more about it should
write to DIR. R. V. Pierce, chief consult
ing physician to the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y. All
