The Scientific Explanation Of
the Change Formerly At
tributed to the Fairies.

In folk lore stories there is frequent
mention of changelings children who
were changed by fairy influence. Some
loving wife and proud husband found
their child weak of body, and some
times weak Of mind. It grew up to
be fretful, sullen and perhaps spiteful.
It seemed impossible that love could
bring such child into the world.
So the child was called fairy change
ling, child substituted by the fairies
for one whom in their envy for its lovli-
ness they had carried away.
We hear no more of fairy stories.

THE FAIRY GoD-MorHER

is very pretty invention. But the real
fairy god-mother is the natural mother
of the child. It is she who must endow
her child with health from which
springs all other endowments desirable
for humanity.
The way to have healthy children is
to be healthy. But how to be healthy
is the yexing question for women. Is
the mother to blame because she is nerv-
GUS, because her appetite fails and her
strength wanes, because she is sleepless
and respondent One cannoi blame the
woman whose only failing is that she does
not know how to change her condition.
Yet woman's health is practically in
her own control. If she is weak she can
be made strong. If she is sick she can
be made well. The experience of other
women shows that the rose of mother
hood can be stripped of its thorns by the
use of DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
