beaming eyes, erect figure and elastic STEP
Health seemed to radiate from her with
every movement. For the first time since
her visit the interest of her guest seemed
aroused. and as she turned her head to
watch the retreating, figure, she cried in
tones that came from the heart "Ohl What
would not give to be like that woman. To
have such a complexion. such brightness,
such energy"
We'll said her companion, You can
have all that if you want il - eff want
it. Why, health is the fondest wish of my
life. l don't live now. l only exist. But
what do you mean by saying 1 can be like
that hearty, healthy, vigorous woman? 1t is
impossible. She has something to draw on ;
stamina, constitution, something that l am
utterly deficient in. How 1 wish 1 were as
she is My dear" said her friend, if
But to wish more virtue is to gain,
your wish has carried you one step toward
place to willing before you can move far
Their. My father had a clerk who was
poor penman- One morning the mail
brought letter, written i'll the most per
my father, " How 1 wish l could write like
that; I'd give hundred dollars to be able
to do it" - You can do it, the
answer, but not by wishing You must
will to do 1t and work to do it. Take this
letter, copy 1t as fairly as YOU can once
every day for three months. AT the end
of that time you will be as perfect pen
man as the man who wrote this letter"
And he was. Now let me tell you
THAT WOMAN'S STORY
She had three children in the first three
years of her married life, and at the end of
that time she was nothing but a wreck.
She had severe trouble with the womb,
which caused her agony, her nerves were
shattered, Sic lost flesh, her rounded checks
fell in, her eye grew dull, she could barely
drag herself about " And how did she
recover?" the guest broke in eagerly.
" Did you ever hear of Dr. Pierce 5 Favorite
Prescription and Golden Medical Discov-
cry - why, they are patent medicines,
aren't they?" was the reply of the visitor.
OF course they are was the response.
Do you know of anything of great
public utility that is not patented !? "
You came here in patented Pullman
Car. You sit in patent rocker. You
up your dress, and yet object to patent
medicine. In everything else a patent is
an honor. 1t puts the government back
of the thing patented. 1t guarantees the
public protection from fraudulent imitation
of valuable articles. Why should not gov
eminent patent be a veritable badge of
honor to a medicine? 1t really is. A patent
is really crown of merit which the gov
eminent awards to the skill, patience, labor
and thought that enrich the world with a
new commodity a device. Every
patent medicine begins with formula that
Is common property. 1t Is the skill to COM
bine, the discovery of one more needed
ingredient, the exact relation of the remedy
to the needs of the body that lifts it out of
the common formula and gives it a claim
to be honored by a patent
- But do you really mean to say that Dr.
PierCe's medicines made her
PERFECTLY WELL WOMAN?"
Il mean to say just that" was the
answer. - She had tried everything. Her
local doctors had experimental with her.
She was broken in health and bankrupt in
hope. Then, when calling a friend, she
happened TO pick up copy of DIR. Pierce's
great medical book, the Common Sense
Medical Adviser" Turning over the pages
idly she read passages that impressed her
with the practical common sense of the
views advanced She discovered that she
had been at war with nature and must be
reConClled. But not to prolOng the
story, It led to her taking DR.. PierCe's Fa-
vorite Prescription and Golden Medical
Discovery, and the result is what you see."
