A more pitiful sight than a mother and
her child, both captives and shackled in a
dungeon, could not we'll be imagined.
There are thousands of mothers and their
babes who lie shackled by disease in the
dungeon of death.
Without knowing it, or having the faint
est comprehension of it, the fault lies with
the mother. Too many women enter upon
the responsibilities of wifehood and moth
erhood while suffering from weakness and
disease of the delicate and important or
gans that make wifehood and motherhood
possible. A woman who suffers in this way
cannot be a capable wife and competent
mother. Before entering upon the duties
and responsibilities of these positions, she
should see to it that her health, both gen.
eral and local, is thoroughly restored. DIR.
Pierce's FavOrite Prescription is the best
of all medicines for this purpose. 1t acts
directly on the sensitive organs concerned,
making them strong healthy and vigorous.
1t promotes regularity of the functions,
allays irritation and inflammation heals
liberation, checks unnatural and exhaust
ing drains and soothes pain. 1t tones and
builds up the shattered nerves. 1t turns
the dangers and pains of maternity into
safety and ease. 1t is a medicine that is
intended for this one purpose only and is
good for no other Dealers sell it and no
honest dealer will suggest substitute.

1t looks as though the LIST Maine
would remain at Chickamauga and not
be given part in the Porto Rico cam
paGn. This is no fault of the regiment
but because the army corps which 1t
is in will not be drawn upon. Ever
since the Maine boys reached Camp
Thomas. almost two months ago, they
have been ready and anxious for active
service at the front, and it has been
generally admitted that no regiment
among the many in that great camp is
better equipped or better drilled. If
they have the opportunity they will

of Maine is as good as in the past-it
could not be better Meanwhile they

The talk of bringing to Widows
island the soldiers who contract the
first news to many Maine people that
such an island existed off the coast.
The island is situated in Penobscot
bay and lies between North Haven
and Ninalhaven and it is near the end
of a passage frequently used by yachts
and known as the "Thoroughfarc"
Those familiar with the island say it
is an ideal location for the treatment
of the sick soldiers. The island is
about half mile long by a fourth
wide, and there is fine brick hospital
upon it which was erected some years
ago when the epidemic of yellow fever
was feared in the navy. AS yellow fever
germs do not thrive in a cool climate
ii is safe to say that they will quickly
be eXterminated by the pure and re-
freshing air of Penohscot bay. No
one knows just when the first conSign-
ment of invalds will arrive. but it will
probably be in the course of a week or
two. if, indeed. they come at all.
