Health is a magnet which irresistibly
draws the man to the woman IN lfe's
mating time. Health does more than
tint the skin with beauty it puts music
into the voice and buoyancy into the
step, as well as happiness into the heart.
A great many women covet beauty and
are constantly seeking aids to beautify
them. Let woman first seek perfect
health and all other charms shall be
added to her.
There can be no general health for
women while there is disease OF the
delicate womanly organism. The first
step to perfect health is to cure womanly
diseases by the use of DIR. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription. 1t establishes regu-
larity, dries weakening drains, heals
inflammation and liberation and cures
female weakness.

DISEASED STOMACH,
Their Effects on the Brain and Nerves.

But few people know how closely con-
nected are the stomach, brain and
nerves, yet if one will stop to think,
they can readily see that it is through
their stomach alone the brain, nerves
and body receive their vitality.
1t is the stomach and bowels which
take the food after it is eaten, and ex-
tract from it all the nourishment re-
ouired to give each bone, muscle, nerve
and organ in the body the health and
power to do its work.
When the stomach becomes diseased,
that portion which is affected fails to do
it's duty, and all organs thus deprived of
nourishment soon become weakened
and diseased themselves.
Diseased stomachs are responsible for
more brain and nerve disorders than all
other diseases combined, and the marked
increase of such disorders is entirely
due to doctoring the nerves and brain
instead of the stomach.
When that portion OF the stomach
which supplies the brain or nerves with
nourishment is diseased, no good can
come from giving nerve tonics or brain
foods, for the diseased stomach cannot
convey them to the weakened parts any
more than it can the nourishment from
foodt
To cure any of the many disorders
arising from indigestion and dyspepsia
it is absolutely necessary to first heal
the diseased stomach, and until this is
done there is no hope of permanent
cure.
Just at present there is but one treat
ment known which has for its sole OBJ
iect the healing of the diseased stomach
and bowels, and this explains why

cured more cases of dyspepsia, indiges.

Mona heals the diseased digestive
organs quickly and surely, a marked i'm.

short time the most confirmed dyspeptlt
begins to feel that life is worth living
after all.

the sale Of the Danish West Indies to
this country unless the inhabitants of
those islands declare In favor of the ces-
sion by pleblscite, similar to that
which was taken on the same question
in 1867. The upper house, some little
time since, agreed to the transfer on the
terms negotiated, but not without con-
siderable opposition. The vote of Tues
day In the other branch of the Rigsdag
was practically unanimous. 1t probably
settles the question and we may expect
the sale will not be concluded until the
people of the islands that we seek to
buy have expressed their willingness to
be transferred.
