ness which is not healthy. The utterly
worn out feeling experienced by SO
many women is not due as a rule to
the physical exhaustion of labor, but to
the draining away of the strength by
won1anly diseases. Nervousness, head
ache, backache, and sleeplessness are
a diseased condition. Yet thousands of
women suffer from wonanly diseases for
years and make little or no effort to
effect cure. They treat wonarly dis
ease as if it was purely local thirg, and
only wake up to the disastrous elect of
the disease upon the general health,

lowed perhaps by years of painful ILL
ness.
HOW TO BIZ CURED.
Any woman suffering from wonianly
disease can almost surely be cured by
the use OF DIR. Pierce's Favorite p scrip
ton. This statement is baseo the
testimony Of many thousands of women
who have been cured of wonanly dis
eases (often when aggravated by neglect
or wrong treatment, and generally of
serious and painful nature), by the use

The steel deal still was the overshadow-

the tendency all day to readjust market

much irregularity. as apparently some Sc

The second act is not so good in that

ity, Miss PRINT" Unless all signs
fail, she will remain there for some

what is more, it suits me people whom
Miss Dressler suits. Mr.. Hammer

he is accused of having written some

Along. the Rialto, where one may

in turn, is awfully jealous of Marie
