Unless she il q healthy mother. Nc
woman can. If the baby has drained
her vitality; if its care is a tax; if, in
short, the baby is burden instead of q
blessing, how can she enjoy it? She
loves it, but she cannot feed it. She
yearns for it, but has not the strength
to fondle it.
There is nothing more beautiful in the
world than a healthy mother and her
healthy child. The madonna is the
highest reach of human art. In the
serene strength which art gives to the
typical mother and child there is distinct
denial of suffering and weakness as a
necessity of motherhood. But how few
women are there to whom motherhood
is naturally an abiding Joy. In how
many cases a woman dates her loss Of
health from the birth of her child To
all such suffering women Dr. Pierce's Fa.
vorite Prescription comes as a veritable
god-send. 1t prepares the mother for
her hour of trial, tranquilizes her nerves,
encourages her appetite, and brings her
restful sleep. 1t makes the baby's adj
vent practically painless, and gives the
mother abundant strength to nurse and
nourish her child.
Every claim made for uFavorite Pre-
scription" is supported by the testimon-
ials of wives and mothers, thousands in
number, and covering in their several
experiences the whole range of womanly
suffering. In a great number of cases
after the utter failure of all doctors and
medicines, DIR. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription, tried as last resort, has eff.
fected a perfect and permanent cure.
Sick women are invited to consult DR..
Pierce by letter free All womanly con-
fdences held under the seal of strict
professional privacy. Address DIR. r. ".
Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
There is no alcohol in vFavorite Pre-
scription" and it is entirely free from
opium, cocaine, and all other narcotics.

Miss futile insisted upon sending her.
The witness here confessed that she
had been very much excited by these
unusual proceedings and by the effect
which they seemed to have on the lady
just mentioned. SO she was ready TO
notice that Mrs. Jeffrey's hand shook
like that of an old and palsied woman
when she reached out for the tray.
Gladly would Loretta have caught
one glimpse of her face. but Ii was hid
den 10y the door; nor did Mrs. Jeffrey
answer a single one of her questions.
She simply closed her door and kept 1t
50 till toward midnight, when Miss
futile, coming into the hall, ordered
the house to be closed for the night
Then the long shut door softly swung
open; but before any one could reach
it. 1t was again pulled to and locked.
The next day brought no relief. Miss
futile, who had changed greatly dur
ing this unhappy day and night, sue
ceeded no better than before in getting
access to her sister. nor could Loretta
till toward the latter part of the after
noon, when that lady, ringing her bell.
gave her first order.

And when Loretta, greatly relieved.
brought up the required meal she was
astonished to find the door open and
herself hidden to enter. The sight

We're signs of great nervous unrest

wretched bride had tramped the floor
In an agony of excitement. Curtains
were torn, and the piano cover was
hanging half on and half off the open
upright. as if she had clutched at 1t to
keep herself from falling. On the floor
beneath lay several pieces of broken
china-vases Of whose value Mrs. JEFF
frey had often spoken, but which, jerked
off with the cover, had been left where
they fell-while Immediately in front
Of the fireplace lay one Of the rugs,

If she had not heard Mrs. Jeffrey stop
In Miss Tuttle's room on her way out.
That relieved her and enabled her to
go downstairs to her own supper with
more appetite than she had thought
ever to have again. Alas. it was the
last good meal she was able To eat FOR
DAYS, In three hours afterward a
man came from the station house with
the news of Mrs. Jcffrey's suicide in
the horrible old house in which she
had been married only two weeks be-
