"MY WIFE'S LIFE. -
How [ was the means
of saving it.

When the lungs are attacked and the
symptoms of consumption appear, then
begins the struggle between affection and
that destroying disease which Stays its
thousands annually. It is a happy issue
to the struggle when disease is conquered
and health restored. Such an issue does
not always end the struggle, but it did in
the case of Mr.. K. Morris, Memphis, Tenn,
who saw his wife wasting and weakening
and physicians helpless, and then sug
gested the simple remedy that wrought
the cure. He tells the story thus:
"Seven years ago, my wife had severe
attack of lung trouble which the ply
sicians pronounced consumption. The
cough was extremely distressing, espe-
cially at night, and was frequently
attended with the splitting of blood. The
doctors being unable to help her, I in
duced her to try DIR. Ayers Cherry Pectora1
and surprised at the great relief it
gave. Before using one whole bottle she
was cured, so that now she is strong and
quite healthy. That this medicine saved
my wife's life I have not the least doubt.
I always keep Dr.. Ayers Cherry Pectora1
in the house. Whenever any of my family
have a cold or cough we use it, and are

promptly cured."-K. MORRIS, Memphis,
Tenn.
The question: ais consumption cura-
b1e?" is still debated and still debatable.
1t is easy TO say that this was not case of
consumption. Yet the physicians said II
was. They should know. AS a matter
of fact, DR.. Ayers Cherry Pectoral has
wrought so many similar cures that it
seems to argue the curab1eness of con-
sumption. in its earlier stages, by the use
of this remedy. There is no better medi-
cine for pulmonary troubles than DIR.
Ayers Cherry Pectora1. 1t gives relief in
cases of Asthma, and Bronchitis, where re-
lief has been heretofore unattainable. 1t
promptly cures Coughs and Colds, La
Grippe, and all affections of the throat
and lungs. Heretofore, DR.. Ayers Cherry
.Pectoral has been put up in full size
bottles only, at $500 per bottle. To meet
a worldwide demand for a smaller pack
age, the remedy is now put up in half size
bottles, at half price-5o cents. Write for
DR.. Ayers Curebook Gree and learn more
of the cures effected by DR.. Ayers Cherry
Pectora1. Address J. c. Aver Co., Lowell,

SIR. Casey Was Not I'D to Polite
PnrIancc.


Madge Casey threw herself with Wild
abandon on luxurious Turkish dvan IN the
magnificent drawing room OF the palatial
brown stone mansion owned by her father,
the wealthy but honest politician. Madge's
amlahle mother had Just given her a good
scolding for being out SO late the previous
night with that "spalpane av a Moike CASH
dy, who niver intinded gettin' married" so
the rebellious daughter entered the above
mentioned room for the purpose of having
good cry.
Ten minutes afterward her father en-
tered, and seeing the pride of his heart in
tears, said soothingly: "Arrah, MadIy, me
darlint; phwat's tn cause av all this grafe!"
ooh, papa" replied the beautiful girl, be-
tween gulps, I'm bemoaning my fate
"Bemoanin' yer fate, eh2 Thin it serves

Parturifion,

Childbirth, when natural, should be easy,
and it Is always easy when the right prepare
tions are made. Nature never intended that
woman should be tortured when doing the
one thing that makes her wholly womanly.
To fear or shrink from childbirth is a crime
NOT by the laws of society, but by the laws
OF hereditary-for the mothers condition
reacts upon her offspring. Every child has
an inalienable right to be born on pur-
pose, and the right to be the product of the
best manhood and best womanhoOd of its
parents and the contamination of their LIES
joys. To secure this condition, the best
tonic that can be used is DIR. Simmons
Squaw Vine Wine; it is perfectly safe and
harmless TO use at all times and under all
circumstances in the doses prescribed. 1t
assists nature in softening, relaxing and ex-
panding the muscles and lIgamen ts involved,
labor. Rapid, safe and comparatively pain
less delivery follow its Continuous use.
