There is 10 JOY in this world equal to
the hapniness Of motherhood. A woinan's
health is her dearest possession. Good
!ool:y, good times, happiness and its con
tinucnce, depend on her health. Almost
all Of the sickness of women is traceable
directly or indirectly to some dcraASe-
ment of the organs distinctly feminine.
Troubles of this kind are often neglected
because very natural and proper nied-
csty keeps women sway from physic'ahs,
whose i,l.istenco npon examination and
locul treatment is generally as useless as
it is conn,on. DIR. P;erce's Favorite
Prescription will do more fot them than

the enjoyment was 'na'l'ycd until when

mic Clack, eldest son of J. II. Clack, was
sitting Or the side of the wagon, and III
some way h,st his 'x.laAce and fell out on
the right hand side of the wagon, and the
back wheel ran over him. The vehicle
could net I've stopped rs it was going down
hill. For the first moment or two after
the accident, the young man did hot
| feel it SO much, but was able I" get up,
reach for his coal, and cross TO tssn side
of the road. Distressing feelings of
sutlocation then oycrcamc him and he was
carried into the Gastrcll residence, near
