A Man TO the Rescue !
The Woman in Peril Rarely Finds
Help From Her Own Sex.

1t is in no wise to woman's discredit
that she is not professional life-saver.
We can only fancy her in the freman's
helmet, in the crew of the life-boat, or
welding policeman's club, at the loss
of some of that fneness which is the
distinguishing quality of her sex. The
Molly Pitchers and Grace Darlings are
only examples of the sublime self-for-
getfulness of women in great emer-

In the first place. it rained; in the Sec

If you want fully to appreciate an
American boy like Doddy, you must first
live in England awhile. Then he bursts
upon you with the radiance of noon

cracked a joke that didn't laugh until
the tears came If he told story, he
considered me pracucally-Delng the only
American at the table and consequently
the only individual in possession of a
sense of humor sufficient for the under
standing of this sole audience. Thus
between much telling of stories and more
laughing at them our friendship appeared
to be cemented, to be planted squarely
upon sure and firm foundation, but it
is about just such things as that that you
can never tell.

quarreled, the simplest thing in the world.

One of the most common statements
made in the letters grateful women
write to DIR. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y,
is this: III owe my life to DR.. Pierce"
These women have found themselves in
great danger. They have appealed
without avail to local physicians. They
have counseled in vain with women
advisers. The best that had been done
for them was Just to keep them ahoat in
the sea of disease with strength visibly
failing, in the hope that the man who
had strength and skill to save them
might be found.
woMAN'S APPEAL. ANSWERED.
Hundreds of thousands of women
have appealed to DR.. Pierce, for relief
from womanly ills and not one has ap-
pealed in vain. The use of DR.. Pierce's

had given her up and said they could
do nothing for her she said she began to
take DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
