The door of health stands open to every
woman who will enter. All that she needs
is the key and little knowledge. The
knowledge that she needs is concerning her
own nature, her own physical makeup and
the principal cause of ill-health III women.
When a woman suffers from headaches
and pains in the back and sides, and burn
ing and dragging sensations and the weak
ness, nervousness and dependency that
are caused by diseases peculiar to her sex,
she cannot enjoy good general health. The

disorders of this descripton-is DR.. Pierce's

ture and no other II is the invention of

Briefly the story Is that of a young
white man who, when an infant had been
stolen by a revengeful slave and aban-
doned in the mountains only to be cared
for by u woman, who bequeathed him
property on which were rich deposits of
iron and coal The opening of the play
finds the young man rich and on the eve
of marriage to a beautiful girl. The en-
gagement is broken off when he is ac-
cused of being a negro by his rival who
IS himself the one tainted with black
blood. The plot and denouement are
strong and powerful and the run of Incl
dent exciting and unexpected. The race
question is death with in an unusual
way. There is quite thread Of charac-
teristic comedy, and the play. which,
while avoiding extremes, is one of alb
sorbing interest.
A carefully selected company will sup
port the author in the presentation of the
play Matinees will be given Wednesday

in state of misery from one cause or
another from the rise to the fall of the

be merriment all through the play-gen-
uine merriment born of the true 'trag-
edy of comedy" A decidedly novel in
