"A Coed Beginning Makes

That saying seems to have been born
of the superstition deep rooted in hui
manity. 1t is akin to that other saying
Vie laughs best who laughs last" Per-
haps in these and similar sayings there
is a survival of the old pagan belief that
a display of happiness was likely to in
cur the envy of the gods and to draw
down the visitation of the malice which
is twin to envy.

promises only happiness ends in disap-
pointment and misery.
This is very true of marriage. The
young wife goes heart and soul into
home making and housekeeping. She
loves to cook and prepare the dainties
her husband enjoys. She is so robust
and hearty that she can hardly find
enough to do to exhaust her abundant
energy. That's the way it begins. AT
ter a while she finds that it takes all her
strength to care for her home. Then
household cares begin to overtax her,
and she drops down into a chair many a
time and gives way to tears because of
her weakness and misery. The sky so
cloudless on the morning of marriage
has soon become overcast.
THE CRITICAL TIME
In many a woman's life comes Just at
this period of Encouragement and de-
spair. She finds indications of disease
OF the delicate womanly organs. Her
women friends perhaps tell her that the
bearing down sensation, the pains in the
back and loins indicate disease or dis
placement. She consults physicians,
takes prescribed treatments, all to no
avail. And yet this woman's case is

of Glenwood, Washington Co., Oregon.
III had a heavy dragging and weight in
the region of the uterus, pain in back
and loins, could not lift anything heavy,

1t can truthfully be said that there is

cured by the use Of DR.. Pierce's Fayorita
Prescription.
It is worth noting that these cures
are lasting. Many medicines offered for
women's use are mere palliatives. They
numb the nerves and so dull tile pain.
But they do not re-establish the lost
womanly health. vFavorite Prescrip-
ton" is a purely vegetable preparation.
It contains no alcohol, neither opium,
cocaine or any other narcotic. 1t cannot
disagree with the weakest constitutions.
1t establishes regularity, dries the drains
which weaken women, heals inlamma-
ton and liberation and cures female
weakness.
II IS woMAN'S WAY
to sacrifice herself for her family. She
goes without the new dress that husband
o child may have some coveted pleasure.
And for economy's sake she often bears
the ills which are undermining her
health. 1t is a false The
health of the wife and mother Is the
most important factor in the home life,
and every suffering woman who has been
cured by "Favorite Prescription Is a
witness to the real economy Of this
means of cure.
