WHAT MAKES MANA 50
CROSSE
A Child's Question Answered by
Famous Specialist.

The mother had one of her nervous
spells" and the little boy mad Deen
warned to be very quiet. The restless
little fellow moved on tiptoe about the
room trying to amuse himself, but al
most every move he made was followed
by the querulous cry OF the motner:
willie, don't make so much noise. AT
last in his over anxiety to be quiet, the
boy dropped a book on the floor, and his
mothers angry scream of protest drove
him to the shelter of his fathers arms.
The father laid down his paper, and
caressed the fearful boy who whisper
ed between his sobs: Papa, what
makes mama so CROSSE" Papa made no
answer He did not know how to an
swer. He could only wonder that in
a few years the gay and sprightly girl
he had married had lost all her spirits,
had faded in face and fallen off in form,
and had developed an Impotence of
temper and an irritability of DISPOSE
ton which was generally ascribed to
nerves"
But there was something else that
papa did not know. He did not know
that every such nervous outbreak
caused his wife intense mental suffer
ing because of her own weakness. He
did not know that even now behind
closed fingers that hid her face the
mother was weeping because of her
own passionate impotence with the
child she loved
What makes mama so CROSSE" 1t is
pitiful question. In it the little child
puts his finger right on the most san
ent feature in the failure of marriage.
1t is not the case of one woman but
the case of thousands The result is
a home unattractive to the husband,
and the children's love for the mother
adulterated with fear. The husband,
tired of tears and scolding, drifts 20
the village store or the city club TO
spend his evenings. The poor wife
sits and looks up at the motto, which
she hung on the wall with a wifely
pride in her heart and a womanly
prayer on her lips-"God bless our
home" She feels that the home is
cursed instead of blessed.
Poor womani She is not to blame
for her nervousness and her tears 1t is
the natural and necessary result of
her condition. The finest musician in

her l sent for five more bottles, and
when she had taken the sixth bottle
she was sound and well. We now
have a fine boy at our house.
Inflammation is promptly allayed,
alterations healed, and the nerve cen
tiers strengthened by DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. 1t stops I'M
natural and disagreeable drains on the
system, regulates the periods, and in
fact adjusts the organs peculiarly
feminine to harmonious operation in
all their functions. The real pleasure
in life then returns. The form rounds
out, the eye brightens, the dragging
step of disease gives place to the
springing step of health. A smile, in
stead of a tear, goes into every stitch

w. S. HINES. This is the celebrated
case, and Atkinson's order, as entered
on the records, is herewith republish-
ed to show again what manner of man
he is:
"W. S. HINES was convicted in the
Criminal Court of Wood county, of ma
licious assault, and at the January
term, 1896, of said court, was sentenced
to confinement in the penitentiary of
this State.
This is a remarkable case. The
only regret l have in the matter is
that Kimes did not kill Hail. He ought
to have done it. He tried to do it;
but his pistol missed fire. He shot the
scoundrel four times, and, unfortun-
ately, did not kill him. Every man
who has a soul in his body will agree
with me that he ought to have killed
him. He is yet at large. He ought to
be apprehended, and imprisoned for
life. l hope he will be. If the prose-
cutting attorney of Wood county does
his full duty, he will see that the
scoundrel is apprehended, prosecuted
and imprisoned for the balance of his
natural life for breaking up HINES
home. l remit the fine in this case,
and all the costs, with more pleasure
than any words that the English langu-
age furnishes me with which to express,
myself In this case, HINES did what
every other man would have done I'M
der the same circumstances, except
that he ought to have practiced with
his revolver or double-barreled shot
gun so that when he aimed at the
scoundrel he would have brought him
down. villain like Hall is unfit to
live in a civilized country. Such
man ought not to be allowed to run at
large in Christian community.
Il repeat again, l remit the fine and
costs with more pleasure than l have
words to express.
Therefore, | am of opinion that the
case demands the exercise of the pard-
oning power. 1t is therefore ordered
that a pardon do issue relieving the
said W. S. HINES from the payment of
fine and costs in this case, upon the
sentence of the court aforesaid. and
that the clerk of the Criminal Court of
Wood county do upon receipt of this
order discharge him from further re-
sponsibility upon said charge

the world could get nothing but dis
cord out OF d harp whose every string
was strained to breaking. That's the
way it is with the woman. She is
literally "all unstrung." Her nervous
system is shattered. All the harmony
of the sweet girl nature is turned TO
discord. 1t is a condition peculiar to
her sex and common to wifehood.
Perhaps this condition began long ago
in girlhoOd with irregularity in one of
the important female functions follow
ed maybe with a diSagreeable and de-
bilitating drain on the system. Per-
haps it is the immediate consequence
of the great changes which take place
with marriage. Behind such ner-
vous condition will be found inflam-
nation burning like a fire into the
tender tissues, liberation eating like
poison into the organs of generation.
There will be irregular periods, and
the bearing-down pains, associated
with prolapsuS, a disagreeable, I'M
natural and facilitating drain, sap
ping the life and strength of the sys-
tenn. Some or all of these are be-
hind that nervous condition so pain
full for the mother, so pitiful for the
family. We know that this is So be-
cause the treatment of thousands of
women similarly afflicted has proven
it to be so. We know just as surely
that this condition is durable, because
in all of the thousands of cases treat
ed, only two out of every hundred
have failed of complete and perfect
cure; and even these two have gen.
orally been benefited. This is not
matter of mere statement. 1t is a
matter of record and a matter of evil
dence. A half a million Of women
could be put into the witness box to
testify that they have been cured of
irregularities, alterations, infamma-
tons, and disagreable drains on the
system, by the use of DR.. Pierces'
Favorite Prescription. The larger
part of this vast army of women are
in evidence over their own signatures
reporting their former sufferings and
their permanent cure by the "Favorite
Prescription. We can only offer a
few of such letters.

1t is loudly proclaimed through the
press that "a woman can best under

ground sick women are invited to

this trained medical knowledge Sshe

ailments at all, and cannot treat them
successfully, because she lacks the nee

As far as known there is no regular

ed with any proprietary medicine
especially designed for women-no one,
therefore, qualified by learning and ex-
perience, to advise on questions of dis
ease and its cure.
1t is certain that there is no one,
man or woman, connected with any
"put-up" medicine for women except
ing only DR.. Pierces Favorite Pre-

ular graduated and qualified physician,
and who has, like him, devoted more
than thirty years to the special study
I and treatment of diseases of women.
In the strictest sense "Favorite Pre-
scription" is temperance medicine.
1t contains no alcohol, whisky or other
intoxicants, and is free from opium,
narcotics, syrup or sugar. Without any
of these it preserves it's healing virtues
in any climate.
All dealers in medicine sell DR..

is no other medicine to compare with
it in its remarkable cures. Do not,
therefore, accept any other medicine in
its place as Just as xood" Nothing

of female diseases. No other medicine
therefore can be as good.
The wonder book of family medi-
cine, is DR.. Pierce's Common Sense
Medical Adviser. 1t focuses on the
leading facts Of physiology and hygiene
| and concentrated light of ages of scien-
tific research. 1t deals with nature and
disease in the light of common sense.
In simple language it traces the story
of human life from its source. 1t
speaks perternally to the young man
and young woman on those grave
questions that concern each sex. 1t
speaks with scientific authority to those
who contemplate marriage. And with
all this there are hints and helps for
all the accidents and contingencies that
can touch the health of the family.
