STOP WOMEN

from exercising common sense7 Yoe
can't do it. As the old rhyme runs:
.The mans fool who tries by force or skill
To turn the current Of u wonRri's will
For u she will, she will, you may depend ont
And If she wont she WON'T 90 there's an end on's"
Common sense tells woman that when
she's sick she needs doctor.
Common sense tells a woman that in
disease the first question is not of man or
woman, but of recognized medical ability.
Common sense applied to advertisements
which invite women to write TO d woman
because she is woman and understands
women, will show the women SO appealed
to, that it's no use to write to any woman
about disease unless that woman is q
physician.
Common sense used in the reading OF
advertisements will discover that 10 claim
is made i'll them to physicians knowl-
edge or diploma. And that is not because
the claim would be morally culpable as q
lie, but because it would be legally pun
ishable a. fraud. The law permits you to
masquerade as a doctor in an advertise
ment, just SO long as you don't actually
claim to be doctor, or put NJ. d. after
your name. That's why the advertisement
is worded write to a woman " instead of
write TO a doctor.
Common sense has brought more than
half-a million women, afflicted with some
as one of the most expert physicians in the
United States in the treatment of female
diseases. DR.. Pierce is a specialist. He
has given more than thirty years of active
practice to the treatment of female dis
eases. DR.. Pierce is not physician " by
courtesy. He is physician regularly grad
uated, legally empowered to practice and
with thirty years Of experience in the treat
mealt of diseases of women, which he has
made his sDoCiaity
The offer OF free consultation by letter
made by DR.. Pierce is real offer, an honest
offer. 1t is an offer backed by medical
institution, with a worldwide reputation,
a staff of nearly score of regularly grad
uated physicians, practice which reaches
every state i'll the Union and record of
more than half-a-miliion women treated
and ninety eight out of every hundred
perfectly cured.

culiar experience with tarpon and an
immense shark near Punta Gorda.
While they were pla wing large tarpon
n shark came up and bit a half moon
weighing about ten pounds out of the
tarpon's belly. This killed the tarpon.
but before 1t could be gated and pull
ed in the shark took out another half
moon n size larger. AS they were
hauling the tarpon aboard the shark
bit off the tail. equaling one-third the
length and about one-fourth the weight
OF the fish. The part that was left over
weighed 164 pounds. They beat the
shark over the head with the oars.
The fish would have been n record
breaker and would have weighed about
900 pounds. The scales were presery-

The Most Ancient Machine Tool.

There can be very little doubt that
the potrer's wheel, or potter's lathe, as
1t is also termed, represents today the
most ancient form of machine tool
known. Among the many sculptured
records of the trades and occupations
which so wildly represent the customs
and habits of the ancient Egyptians
the potter and his wheel have been
found frequently depicted, and it is
curious to note that through the al
most countless generations since that
time this crude type Of lathe has under
gone no material modification.
The primitive form was evidently n
small, round table set on pivot and
free to revolve. being turned by hand
at intervals, and to this device there
were added In the course Of time such
simple conveniences as n table to sup
port it and foot or hand power turn
ing arrangement, displaced In recent
years In possibly few Isolated cases
by actual engine power driving. In
general use, however, the potter's
wheel Of the present time bears ali the
characteristics of the one which. 1000
years or more ago, served to turn out
pottery attesting indispensable taste
and skill.-Cassier's Magazine.
