IL were an Illuminated contestant In a six
days walking match.
The "Red Birds" cheeks were rosy with
youth and healthful exercise and her eyes
just danced with excitement and how she
did bob and bounce around
And now when you come TO think back
over IL you will find that all the pretty
red birds and canary birds and all the
manly blue jays and black birds were hap
pier and healthier then, than they are
now since they've realized their ideals and
got TO be town or city folks.
The pretty RED Bird" married a sue
cessful young man In town and has a fine
house, and would scorn 10 balance a Blue
Jay or any other male bird In the good old
fashioned way. But she isn't happy. She
doesn't know what the trouble is. Her
husband Is kind. But she Is irritable and
dependent.
The blue Jay" has achieved moderate
success IN town, but some way he isn't
happy He feels "out Of sorts" most Of
the time. His appetite isn't good. lie
doesn't sleep well. He's hcadachey ln the
morning and duh and listlcss all day. Hs
smiles when he thinks OF the RED Bird"
and the old country dances, but Of course
II would be beneath his dignity TO indulge
in such frolics now.
The fact OF the matter Is that neither the
RED Bird" nor the blue jay" are In
good health. Town life and worry have
robbed them Of the vim and vigor that
animated them In the country.
There are thousands Of pale. slckly r.
ritable wives who were once robust,
healthy charming country girls. Close
confinement In their homes, lack OF exer-
cso and neglect Of their health In a wo-
manly way are gradually breaking them
down. More than anything else their con-
dition Is due 20 weakness and disease OF
the distinctly feminine organs. Troubles OF
this description rack their nerves, ruin
their tempers and destroy beauty They
are soon untitled for the duties OF WIFE
hood and motherhood which they were
once 80 well able 10 assume.
There Is % sure and unfaling remedy for
these troubles. IL Is Or. Pierces Favorite
Prescription. IL acts directly on the deli
cate organs concerned II gives them
strength. vigor and virility. ~ IT'S FOR wife,
hood and motherhood II gives the tor
tured nerves rest and builds up the general
health. II will again transform the slclgly.
nervous. Respondent wife and mother into
the jolly. rosy. healthy Red Bird" OF old.
And the men. Thousands OF them are dy-
Ing unnecessarily Of consumption or nerve
Gus exhaustion OF proatration. It's a need
less sacrifice Of lifo.Docter Pierce's Golden
