beaming eyes, erect figure and elastic step. Health seemed to radiate from her with every movement. For the first time since her visit the interest of her guest seemed aroused, and as she turned her head to watch the retreating, figure, she cried ill tones that came from the heart "Oh What would l not give to be like that woman. To have such a complexion. such brightness, such energy"
 "Well, ,' said her companion, " You can have all that if you want it? " If want it! Why, health is the fondest wish of my life. I don't live now. I only exist. But what do you mean by saying l can be like that hearty, healthy vigorous woman? Itis impossible. She has something to draw on i; stamina, constitution, something that I arn utterly deficient in. How I wish I were as she is" My dear," said her friend, " if
 But to wish more virtue is to gain
 your wish has carried you one step toward the goal of health. But wishing must give place to will 'ug before you can move far ther. My father had a clerk who was a poor penInau. One morning the mail brought letter, written ill the most per feet commercial hand. The clerk said to my father, How I wish I could write like that. I'd give hundred dollars to be able to do it." You 0nn do it." was the answer, but not by wishing. You must will to do 1t and work to do t. Take this letter, copy it as fairly as you can once every day for three months. At the end of that time you will be as perfect pen man as the man who wrote this letter" !" And he was. Now let ne tell you
 THAT wOMAN's STORY.
 She had three children in the first three years of her married life, and at the end of that time she was nothing but a wreck. She had severe trouble with the womb, which caused her agony her nerves were shattered, she lost flesh, her rounded checks fell in, her eye grew dull, she could barely | drag herself about. And how did she ! recover? the guest broke in eagerly. Did you ever hear of Dr. Pierce's Favorite | Prescription and Golden Medical DisCov- i ery?'" "Why, they are patenttnedicines, aren't they ?' was the reply of the visitor. "Of course they are, '' was the response. Do you know of anything of great public utility that is not. patented ,"
 You came here i'll a patented Pullman 1 Car. You sit in patent rocker. You 1 wear a patent safety hook, 1 see, to hold up your dress and yet object to patent medicine. In everything else a patent Is an honor. It puts the government back of the thing patented. 1t guarantees the i i22lls1iic protection from fraudulent imitation | of valuable articles Why should not gov l ernment patent be a veritable badge of ! honor to a medicine? It really is. A patent | is really q crown or neTll WHICH the gov l ernment awards to the skill, patience, labor and thought that enrich the world with a new commodity or a new device. Every patent medicine begins with formula that is conuon property. It is the skill to com biue, the discovery of one more needed 1 ingredient, the exact relation of the remedy to the needs of the body that lifts it out of the common formula and gives it a claim to be honOred by a patent"
 '' But do you really mean to say that Dr, Pierce's medicines made her
 A PERFECTLY WELL WOMAN?"

Then, when calling on friend, she happened to pick up a copy of Dr. Pierce: great medical book, the Common Sense Medical Adviser" Turning over the pages idly she read passages that impressed hel with the pra-tiCal common sense of the views advanced. She discovered that sht had been at war with nature and must bt recOnciled. But not to DrolOng thC story, it led to her taking Dr. Pierce's Fa vorite Prescription and Golden Medica Discovery and tue result is what you see.
