letter was just thirty days en- route.
THAT time the members ofthe Swain
Family were all in good health, and
devoting aportion of their time every
day to thinking Of the loved friends
and home in the United States.
About two hundred people who
made up one OF the finest parties ever
assembled In Oskaloosa, are indebted
to Mr.. and Mrs. INV. Clendenon and
Mr.. and Mrs. J.. H! Blakeslee for an
evening of rare pleasure passed in
Kalbach's hall last night. Dancing
was the diversion of the evening and
Schmitt's double four orchestra fur
nished music for the occasion. Re-
freshments were served by ASh and
nothing was left undone to add to the
comfort and enjoyment of all in at
tendance. Many elegant costumes
were worn by the ladies and as the
participants went through the pretty
figures Of the dance they presented a
beautiful picture. A Number of guests
were present from out of town.

family. She must not be craven when
the whoop of the Indian warned of
dreadful danger. She must stand by
her husband, gun in hand.
How many women of to-day could
undertake wifehood under such condi-
tions1 Few indeed. Not because the
modern American woman lacks cour-
age, but because she lacks as a rule the
physical health which is the indispensa-
Bile qualification for a life such as was
lived by the women of the past.
That is why aJgood pm may be a
bad wife. Virtue and goodness are ex-
cellent things in women, but to guide a
house and bear children demands above
all sound physical health.
WOMEN coNv1cTs.
To a great number of women the
house they live in Is almost on a par
with a prison. It is prison-like in the
monotonous regularity of daily duties /;
prison-like in the absence of all pleasure
in what is done or Joy in the doing.
And the reason is to be found in
womanly ill-health. Few ON realize
how intimately the general health is re-
lated to the health of the delicate

such women vdoctor" for years for
various diseases and wonder why they
don't get better, They can't get better
until the womanly organism is entirely
cured of its diseases.
This is not theory. II is a statement
Of simple facts founded upon the testi-
mony of hundreds of thousands of
women who have been cured of woman
ly diseases by the use of DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. They had been

taken nearly twelve bottles of the medi-
cine and still continue to take 1t. I
am getting better right along, can ride
or walk any place. I can never praise
your medicine enough.
"The doctor here says that he never
would have believed that our medicine
could have done so much for any one If
he had not seen what it has done for
me. He also told me to keep on taking
it, for he could not help me. I thank
you a thousand times for your kind
advice and for your medicine"
SAFE AND SURE.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription Is
unrivaled as a safe and sure medicine
for the cure of womanly diseases. 1t
establishes regularity, dries unhealthy
drains, heals Inflammation and ulcera-
ton and cures female weakness. It Is
the best preparative for motherhood,
giving vigor to the body and buoyancy
to the mind. It so strengthens the
organs of maternity that it makes the
baby's advent practically painless. As
a tonic for nursing mothers 1t has no
equal, 1t increases the nutritive secre-
tons and strengthens and nourishes
both child and mother.
Weak and sick ONE are invited
to consult DR.. Pierce, by letter, free.

and sacredly confidential. Address DIR.
