| medicine and tender nurses care. Noble
women all over the land have prayed and
| worked that Clara Barton might be able to
hold ont until this great Government COM
manded that peace should reign and butchery
cease. Many cried How long, O Lord -
But there are hundreds of other heroines that
the world knows nothing about. Women in
everyday life carry the natural burdens of
wife-hood and motherhood, added to all the
cares of busy housekeeper, with a courage
and elieerfuiness that Clara Barton herself
might admire. They comfort their husbands
| in times of trouble and sickness; nurse and
| watch over their children, and in fact rescue
whole family from a sea of difficulties,
which otherwise would overwhelm them.
! Such q wife and mother, though she has no
gold medals to show for it, is in the true
sense of the word the noblest kind of
| heroine.
Many women have within them the spirit
of heroism without the physical capacity to
carry it out. They long to be a comfort and
| help to their husbands and children but are
constantly weighed down by some weakness
or disease whick saps their vital forces, leav-
ing them wretched and powerless to fulfill
their highest ambition.
A woman can never know what posi-
bilities of power and accomplishment are
latent within her. 1t is mistake for any
woman to conclude because she is weak and
miserable now that she must always remain
So There is a reason for every illness and
weakness. 1t does not come by chance. 1t
doesn't merely happen. And it will not go
away by chance.
If the cause of a woman's incapacity lies in
any weakness of the special organism which
makes her woman, she can never be well or
strong in any respect until this particular
weakness is mended and overcome.
In that great book, the Peoples Common
Sense Medical Adviser, by Il. V. Pierce,
NJ. D., one chapter gives the story of nearly
two hundred feeble and broken down women
whose entire physical nature was changed and
rejuvenated by the simple, inexpensive self
treatment at home suggested by DIR. Pierce
in conjunction with his Favorite Prescrip-
tion," the marvellous strength and nerve
builder for ailing women.
This grand volume of over one thousand
pages, with more than seven hundred Illus
trations and colored plates, is complete
family and medical library. 1t gives plain
and thorough information about the human
physiology in health and disease; tells a
woman how to take the best care of her fam
lily, and how to keep herself in a strong and
healthy condition at times when she is
specially liable to weakness and disease.
Shows how an expectant mother may escape
all the danger and most of the pain incident
to the coming of baby, and how nursing
mother may fortify her vitality so as to pro-
vide abundant nOurishment for the little one
and build herself up rapidly and completely
to full strength and vig0r.
1t tells about the wonderful work accom-
plished in the last thirty years by the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, of
Buffalo, n Y, of which DIR. Pierce is chief
consulting physician, with a staff of eighteen
associate specialists in the different branches
of medical practice. It explains how the
most severe and obstinate diseases have
yielded to DIR. Pierce's great discoveries, and
how patients living at distance receive care
