hardly possible, brief as were the ad-

Wards plea was for especial schools
for crippled echildren-s schools where
they would not be urged either by rules

with perfectly healthy children. Per-
sonally Mrs. Ward has been instrumen-
tai in establishing in London a day
school for the benefit of children who
are suffering from some physical dis
qualification which prevents them from
attending the regular schools with adj
vantage There are also two other
schools in London for children physlc-
ally disabled by spinal diseases or some
other painful complaint. But there Is
need of further schools for crippleS,
and Mrs. Ward is enthusiastic in work
ing for them. One of these schools
maintains a carriage or ambulance IN
which the ailing children are taken to
and from school, and there is also
nurse employed to accompany this car
rage on its trips. Doubtless. as Mrs
Ward urged, many ailments might be
cured If such schools were established

A Pau OF Light

For woman's guidance is found in the
fact that DIR. Pierce.'s Favorite Prescrip-
ton cures female weakness and the dis
eases Of the delicate womanly organs
which darken the lives of so many wom-
en- with suffering and sorrow. That ray
of light has penetrated many darkened
chambers where women moaned in mis-
cry, and has guided them out to health
and happiness. "Favorite Prescription
is not tonic, not palliative, but pos
tive cure for the diseases which are
peculiar to women. II gives vigor and
vitality. II banishes nervousness, head
ache, and all the aches which come from
diseased condition of the womanly
organs. A temperance medicine, it con-
tains neither alcohol nor narcotics.
