What paradox therefore is presented In
the claim that the man who has taught

Women who are educated in medicine

specialist par excellence in the treatment
of diseases peculiar to women.
The esteem In which DR.. Pierce is held
by women is not to be wondered al when
it is known that in the thirty years, and
over, in which he has given attention to
womans diseases, he has, aided by his
staff of nearly score of experienced and
skilled specialists, treated over half a mill
lion women, and with such success that
nlnety-eight out Of every hundred treated
have been absolutely and altogether cured.
Doubtless there are other reasons why
mutitudes of women consult DR.. Pierce
by letter and as not the least among such
reasons women would set down the friend
", even fatherly advice which the age and
and experience of DR.. Pierce enable him
to give as supplemental TO the advice and

The mania for going to auctions is said
to be a bad one, says the New York
Times, and good husbands warn their
wives against it. But it is a mania which
is quite as apt to attack the man as the
woman. There is in a certain family a
tradition of one of its older members, a
man who, though so close TO downright
meanness that he held his property until
it was worthless and left his family poor,
had mania for auctions and bought the
most useless things at the sales he at
tended At one of them he bought a
two-horse coach, though he had only one
horse. 1t would be such a useful thing for
his wife to have in which to drive out
into the country, he said. But he never
bought the extra horse, and he stored
the coach, paying storage until 1t had
cost him as much again as he paid for 1t.
He bought hotbed frames at another time,
and he could not rest until he had staked
out beds to fit the frames, visions rising
before him all the time of the wonderful
farm produce he was to raise. But his
enthusiasm waned with the stalking Of
the ground, and after lying around for
years, the frames were turned into kim
ding wood.
