THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided in Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
from a mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must suffer"
and young women are so taught.
There is little truth and a great deal
of exaggeration In this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to physician for examina-
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address Is
Lynn, Mass.
The following letter. from Miss MARIE
r. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her:
sMy health became SO poor that
had to leave school. Twas tired all the
time, and had dreadful pains in my
side and back. was also troubled
with irregularity Of menses. / was
very weak, and lost so much flesh that
my friends became alarmed. My
mother, who in firm believer in your
remedies from experience, thought per-
haps they might benefitme, and wrote
you for advice. + followed the advice
you gave, and used Lydia Il. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as
you directed, and am now as well as !
ever was. I have gained flesh and have
q good color. am completely cured d

THE sTURDEvANr WILL CASE.

THE STURDEVANT WILL CASE.
The Sturdevant will case was brought
to a close, last Tuesday. The Jury
brought in a verdict sustaining the will.
Many of your correspondents seem to
think this was the Ferris will case. just
tried. The appeal from probate OF the
will of Angelina E. Ferris by Emma s.
Mullin, was withdrawn last February.
The appeal from probate of the will OF
Emmeline Sturdevant, wife of Lew Stur-
devant. by Henry Sturdevant and carried
on by his administrator, Lawyer Sher-
wood of Bridgeport, is the ease just tried
and resulting IN victory for the hus-
band, Levi j. Sturdevant, he receiving
the largest part of the estate and by the
withdrawal of the appeal on the Mrs
Ferris case by Mrs Mullin gives Mr. Stur-
devant posses sion of the major part Of
Mrs Ferris estate. This makee Mr. Stur-
devant, it is SAID by aaany, the wealthiest
man in town of Brookfield. The most
valuable part of these estates, the Stur-
devant building, Bridgeport. owned joint
ly by both sisters, is owned solely by Mr.
Sturdevant. The income from this prop
er'y is $40 600 per year. There was evil
dence introduced to show that Mr. Stur-
devant had abused his wife and on one or
two occasions kicked his wife on the
shins. Mr. Sturdevant denied this and
said he had lived with his wife 80 years
and said he did not deny that his wife
and himself had diff repees of opinion on
some matters but he never abused or
struck her and he introduced evidence to
show thot they lived affectionately and
pleasantly together and it was testified
| by one witness that he never left the
house without kissing his wife good bye.
The testimony relied upon principally to
| break the will was given by Eliza d.
oprague and lher son, William iDay, OF
Danbury. Mrs Sprague was large ben
eficiary under the will and her SON was
remembered to the extent of $500. Mrs
Sprague gave evidence that she herself
| in large measure secured the will by
undue influence. Evidence was intro
duced TO refute this and to show that Mrs
ISprague had some motive in breaking the
will, and in this connection the name OF
| a prominent man in Brookfield and well
known doctor of Danbury was mention
led. Mr. Sturdevant has been kept busy
since the trial receiving 1.-THE congratula.

Notice.

A business that increases in popular
estimation, in efficiency and sales, can
not be said to have developed through
chance. Chance does not crowd your
counters with buyers. Nor does it
bring people from far and near to your
store.
THERE MUST be other reasons for
this deVelopm snt, and the public soon
discover them.
The modern store, like the model
he me, must have harmony in all it's
branches Fairness. honesty and
truthfulness should be the merchants
guide If success in business is desired.
The Dry Goods Store of to-day must be
attractive and up to-date in aIl its
departments. We have striven to
make our store as near perfect as pos
slble, but more improvements are still
needed. We can see where changes
can be made to the advantage of our
patrons and ourselves. Our small
profit system Of conducting our bust
ness has q charming effect on those
who believe in little prices. Our store
was created by public patronage and
we thank the people for their conf
dence and say that the bargains for
this week are phenomenally great.

blood was so thin that the t'rop or two drawn
by the prick of needle was almost as color
less as water. She had tro VbIe with her
heart and often tainted from the slightest
exertion, as upon rising from bed, OF from a
chair.
Another bad symptom was cough,
which was SO unremitting that it was the
general opinion of our friends that she was
cOnsumptive. She lost flesh rapidly. Some
times she would be confined to the bed for
two or three weeks, then be around again,
but only to suffer relapse.
" She was not only physical wreck, but
her mind was affected, and at times she had
no realization of what she was doing. We
feared, in fact, complete mental overthrow
and consequent removal to asylum, for
although we had two of the best physicians
in the city, and had tried several proprietary
medicines, none benefited her.
We had read considerable about DR.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People, and
had also heard of some cases where they had
done good and we decided to give them
trial. We purchased some at the drug store

Hattie began to take the pills in the

provement was noticeable after the first box

gan to abate in frequency, and she ceased to
cough. One after another, the distressing
symptoms left her. She took in all, nine
boxes of the pills. AT the present time she
is in perfect health. The alteration in her
mind and body is almost past belief.
