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

What suffering frequently results
from a mothers Ignorance; or more
frequently from a mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughterl
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 q 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 letterfr Miss MARIE
#. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her; - 1ifi .pp
"My health became 30 poor that I
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. I was
very weak, and Lost 90 much flesh that
my friends became alarmed. My
mother, who is q Arm believer in your
remedies from experience, thoughtpe
haps they might benefit me. and wrote
you for advice. followed the advice
you gave, and used Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills rs
you directed, and am now as well as !
ever was. have gained flesh and have
good color. am completely cured OF
irregularity." a3rhef

Every woman should realize that her
health Is like bank account. At the out
Get she has 90 much deposited to her credit
In the bank of health. If she draws out
more than she puts In she will soon over
draw her account. An over-drawn account
In the bank of health means one of two
things, life of hopeless suffering or an
early death. ~ Ha30a Ila
The woman who neglects her health In q
wornanly way Is making big drafts on her
account with the bank of health and will
soon be physical bankrupt. Disorders of
this description wreck a woman's general
health quicker than anything else in the
world. They soon transform a healthy,
happy, amiable woman into a weak, sickly,
fretful and respondent invalid. They ut
terly unfit woman for wifehood or mother
hood. For all disorders of this nature DIR.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the best
of all medicines. 1t acts directly on the
delicate and important organs concerned
In maternity, giving them health, strength,
vigor and elasticity. II relieves pain,
allays inflammation, checks facilitating
drains, and quickly subdues all other synp-
toms. II at once stops the dragging pains
and sinking spells the nervousness, the
digestive disturbances and other comp1ica-
tons that arise from the same cause Taken
during the months of expectant maternity,
IL banishes the usual discomforts and
makes baby's advent easy and almost pain
less. II insures the newcomers health
and a plentiful supply of nourishment.
Thousands Of women have testified to its
marvellous merits. An honest dealer will
not suggest an inferior substitute for the
sake Of extra profit.

Detroit, had been cured of a sickness
by asking help from on high, and she
asked Revs r. G. Fenner and f. c.
Wood, of this place, to pray for her re-
covery. They did so. Now, 1t Is said,
Mrs. Meacher can use her right hand
She can hear as well as ever and can

stated that about 500 was lacking of
the sum required but this was soon
forthcoming, a number of enthusiastic
citizens present increasing the amount
of their subscription. The contract was
again read over and, as at thG previous
meeting, was considered satisfactory.
There remains now for the committee,
