Most desirable from every standpoint of
national interest and patriotism is the
effort to extend our foreign commerce. To
this end our merchant marine should be
improved and enlarged. We should do our
full share of the carrying trade of the
world. We do not do il now. We should
be the laggard no longer. The inferiority
OF our merchant marine is justly humil-
Eating TO the national pride. The govern
ment by every proper constitutional means

markets TO the surplus products of the

Bright faced, happy, rollicking, playful
babies, thousands of them ell over the
broad land, have in their bodies the seeds
of serious diseases, and while they laugh
and play are facing death. The mother, in
the majority of cases, is unconsciously re-
sponsible for this sad state of affairs. Where
the mother, during the anxious period, suf-
fers from weakness and disease of the dis-
tinctly feminine organism, it is useless to
expect sound and healthy baby. Every
woman may be strong in womanly way,
and have robust, happy children.
A wonderful medicine for women is Dr..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. 1t is the
discovery of an eminent and skillful spe-
cialist, DR.. R. V. Pierce, for thirty years
chief consulting physician to the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo,
n Y. It is medicine that acts directly
and only on those delicate and important
organs that bear the burdens of maternity.
1t makes them strong, healthy and elastic.
II allays Inflammation, heals liberation,
stops debilitating drains and soothes pain.
1t gives rest and tone to the tired nerves II
fits for wifehood and motherhood. II does
away with the discomforts of the expectant
period and makes baby's coming easy and
comparatively painless. Honest druggists
will not offer an inferior substitute for the
sake of little extra profit.

tating drains, inflammation and weak back "

The most obstinate, and therefore the
most difficult to cure. The medical
profession, in fact, have virtually ad-
mitted that real, deepseated blood
disease is beyond their skill.
OF course, their admission is not made
in so many words, but actions speak
louder than words, and their inability to
cure, after months and often years OF
treatment, is sufficient evidence that dis
eases Of the blood cannot be cured by
doctors. Their mercurial mixtures, al
though taken faithfully, only cover up
the symptoms of the disease, inducing
the patient to feel that he is being cured;
but when he is sooner or later seized
with stiff joints, pain in the bones, etc,
the evidence of the doctors patchwork
is conclusive. Such results cannot be ex-
pected from the use of S. S. S. Being
purely vegetable, containing no harm
full mineral ingredients, it is the only
blood remedy which acts on the true
principle of forcing the disease from
the system, building up rather than
tearing down the health. No loss of
