Lena attacked her mother once and bit
her, but then it was thought the attack was
merely the sudden outcropping of violent
temper, which the child had never before
manifested. Now the physicians say the
child Is possessed at times with an insane
ard overpoweriig desire to inlet injury
upon others.
The girl had always been considered as
exceptionally gentle by the parents until
she attacked lfer mother. Then they never
dreamed OF a recurrence ofany sucha eti"n.
Before the Borgesserfskys left for

brothers in charge or a friend who lad

brother, two years old. Charles is the
baby that Lena attacked.

had placed their children left the house

The shoe maker had all he could do to hold

she seemed to lave forgotten all about il a
lew minutes after she had quieted down.
Physicians were brought in and did what
they could To relieve the baby's sufferings.
They were fearful at first that the child
would not recover. but now they say that

A million of suffering women CRY With
uplifted hands for some relief from the
pains and tortures of diseases peculiar to
their sex. A million more suffer in silence
rather than subject themselves to the alb
horrent and humiliating examinations and
local treatment so uniformly insisted upon
by physicians.
The saddest thought of all is that all
this agony of body and mind is absolutely
unnecessary.
Female weakness" can be cured-sure-
ly, speedily,-without exposure, with slight
expense-without leaving your own home
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will cure
any disorder or disease of the organs dis
tinctly feminine. No matter how hopeless
you think your case-no matter how many
doctors have told you that you were in
curable-no matter what you have done or
left undone, the " Favorite Prescription +"
will cure you. Perhaps its greatest use
fulness is il preparing women for the ordeal
of child birth. Taken during the expectant
period il practically eliminates pain and
danger at the time of parturition.
Miss Lauretta McNees Of Reno [P o. Box 7zs)

taking the Prescription and win not take
