But Thurston made no sign. A week before the

unusual happened in the geology class. At

what ia 10 for the BahY.

IN oldcn Greece when the wife accepted the obligation of motherhood,
all her days of prenatal preparation were spent among the famest
scenes and most beautiful objects. Wherever her eye fell it
rested o N beauty. Her feet moved to and fro to pleasant melodies.
Her mind was fed on the high thoughts of the poets For this reason
the children of these Greek mothers furnished models of physical beauty
which have yer since put the world TO shame.
The time that most can be done for the baby is before its birth.
With every stitch the mother puts into the dainty wardrobe she pre-
p,res, there should go some happy loving thought. With every meal
eaten, with every household duty easily accomplished, with each nights
refreshing sleep, there should come the thought, AL this counts for
babys wclbeing"
But how can all this be possible for the woman who is in daily
misery of mind and body?
1t is impossible.
The first thing a mother should do for her baby is TO establish her
w health. If she doesn't she will bear "a child of spleen to be a
thwart dSnaturcd TO torment her" The babys walls will be but the
echo of her own; the babys face will reflect the anguish lined in her
own features.
Mothers who have used DR.. Pieroes Fsvorte Prescription during
the pre natal period testify to its wonderful heslth-giving qualities to
the cheerful mind and healthy body with which the mother comes to the
dav of travail, and Of the almost painless birth hour. 1t does wonder

half a million women. There is IN o similar offer of free medical advice
which has behind it a physician of the national repute of Dr. Pierce,
