hut he is confined in an iron cage
through the bars of which the eyes of

he does his own cooking, and is given

Surely If the courts pronounce him
innocent it will be hard matter for
the French government to make
amends for these hardships imposed
upon him in this barren little island.
But the Imprisonment, hard as 1t has
been, can hardly be compared to the
modification of the public degreda-

that their life might be as easy as pos

80 feet square with tower at one end

rapid-fire machine gun that is menace
to any whose curiosity leads them too

situated on higher ground than the
prison, but is SO close to it that one can
look from the windows into the stock

sort of lovliness that all agree upon is the
beauty of health. No matter what her
features, no sickly woman can be attrac-
tive. Sallow skin, sunken cheeks, pimply
face, hollow eyes, ~lifeless lips-these are
repellant. And they can nearly always
be traced to the one cause-womanly
weakness OF disease. Almost all the ills
of ~womankind are cured if you put the
feminine organism into healthy, vigorous
condition. All sickness of women seen1s
to involve these delicate organs and so no
matter what the symptoms may be it is
best to look there for the real trouble.
All such disorders are completely and
permanently cured by DR.. Pierce's Fa-
