 | 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 turped her head to watch the retreating, figure, she cried iu tones that came from the heart "Oh! What would 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 1t! Why health is the fondest wish of my life. 1 don't live now. 1 only exist But what do you mean by saying I can be like that hearty, healthy, vigorous woman? It IS impossible. She has something to draw on {; stamina, constitution, something that 1 am utterly deficient in. How I wish I were as sue is" "Mydear," 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 wiling before you can move far ther. My father had a clerk who was a poor penman. One morning the mail brought letter, written in the most per feet commercial hand. The clerk said to my father, "How wish could write like that. I'd give hundred dollars to be able to do it." "You can do it." was the answer, "but not by wishing. You must will to do it and work to do it. Take this letter, copy 1t 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 me 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 cheeks fell in, her eye grew dull, she could barely drag herself about. And how did she recover1" the guest broke in eagerly Did you ever hear of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and Golden Medical Discov- ery?'" Why, they are patent medicines, aren't they wae 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 2"
 You came here in patented Pullman Car. You sit in a patent rocker. You wear patent safety hook, see, to hold up your dress, and yet object to patent medicine. In everything else patent is of the thing patented It guarantees the public protection from fraudulent imitation of valuable articles. Why should not a gov ernment patent be a veritable badge of honor to medicine? It really is. A patent is really crown of merit which the gov eTnment 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 common property. It is the skill to com bine, the discovery of one more needed ingredient, the exact relation of the remedy to the needs of the body that lifts it out of the common formula and gives it claim to be honored by patent"
 But do you really mean to say that pr. PieTce's medicines made her
 PERFECTLY WELL WOMAN"
 "I mean to say just that" was the answer. " She had tried everything. Her local doctors had experinented with her. She was broken in health and bankrupt in hope. Then, when calling on a friend, she happened to pick up copy of Dr. Pierce's great medical book, the Common Sense Medical Adviser" Turning over the pages idly she read passages that impressed her with the practical common sense of the views advanced. She discovered that she had been at war with nature and must be reconciled. But not to prolong the story, it led to her taking DT. Pierce's Fa- vorite Prescription and Golden Medical Discovery, and the result is what you see."
