"Will further, say that my youngest

cured"

a continual torture.
A woman in this condition cannot be
q capable and amiable wife and help

ably go out in the evenings, leaving

DOCTORS MAKE MISTAKES.
The average doctor, even, doesn't
properly diagnose these cases. He
doesn't understand them. When q

he attributes these symptoms to heart
troubles or disorders of the liver. He
isn't right once in ten times. The real
sickness is in the organs distinctly
feminine and no help can come till they
are made perfectly strong and healthy
in both structure and function.
The woman herself usually realizes
the true nature of her trouble. But she
does not like to confide a trouble OF
this delicate nature to some home
doctor who is likely to make her case
the subject of discussion in g. local
medical society and to insist upon
obnoxious "local examinations" and
applications" Right here is where g.
wise and good, sympathetic husband
could be Of invaluable aid. No woman
will hesitate to confide fully in her
husband If she Is sure of his goodness
Of heart, sympathy and wise advice.

Knocked His sufferings. There seemed
ito be no touch of pity or mercy in

Filled with pity for this innocent
sufferer for the sin Of others, the rob-
fns circled about His head and finally.
allghting on the cross, endeavored
vainly with their little beaks to draw
the cruel nails from the Savior's blood
stained palms. In this futile effort
the robins were stained with blood,

The beautiful little story about the
Robin Red Breasts illustrates how,

it was nearly two thousand years ago.

The surviving members and descend
ants Of the last shipload Of negroes
that was unloaded in the United States
are now living on plantation near
Mobile. the plantation where they have
lived ever since they were brought to
America. They have never been the
legal property Of any man, yet they
were purchased In Africa and brought
to the United States as slaves, and
thereby hangs curious tale. The chief
actor in this episode was Capt. Timo-
thy Maeher. Of Mobile, who died ten or
twelve years ago. Before he died, how
ever, he dictated the history Of what
was a most reckless and foolhardy
undertaking. The following account is
taken from this dictated story by
James Weir Jr., and published In the
Louisville Courier-Journal:
In 1858 q law was passed making the
importation Of slaves capital offense;
consequently 1t became exceedingly
hazardous to bring fresh cargoes Of
negroes into this country. At this time
Maeher, who was quite wealthy. was
running a steamboat on the Alabama
river between Mobile and Montgomery.
On one Of his trips several Northern
men were discussing this law and as
serted that 1t would undoubtedly sup
press the importation Of slaves. Capt.
Maeher laughed at the idea, and de-
clared that cargoes Of negroes could be
brought into the United States without
the slightest danger to the man or
men bringing them in. The argument
waxed warm, until finally Maeher
brought it to an end by boldly declar-
ing that he himself would within two
years land shipload of negro slaves
in some Southern state
Immediately on his return to Mobile
he quietly matured his plans and set
