THE IDEAL WIFE
Shapes the Destiny of Men-The Influence OF
Healthy Woman Cannot Be Overestimated.

Seven-eighths of the
men in this world marry
a woman because she is
beautiful in their eyes
because she has the quail
ties which inspire admira-
ton, respect and love.
There is a beauty in
health which is more at
tractive to men than mere
regularity of feature.
The influence of women
glorious in the possession
of perfect physical health
upon men and upon the
civilization of the world
could never be measured.
Because of them men have
attained the very heights
of ambition; because of
them even thrones have
been established and de-
stroyed.
What a disappointment
then, to see the fair young
wife's beauty fading away
before a year passes over
her head A sickly, half
dead-and-alive woman,
especially when she is
the mother of q family,
is a damper to all joyous
ness in the home, and a
drag upon her husband.
The cost of a wife's con-
slant illness is a serious
drain upon the funds of a

nousenold, ana TOO OFTEN all the doc
toring does no good.
If a woman finds her energies are
tagging, and that everything tires her,
dark shadows appear under her eyes,
her sleep is disturbed by horrible
dreams; If she has backache, head
aches, bearing-down pains, nervous
ness, whites, Irregularities, or despon-
dency, she should take means to build
her system up at once by tonic with
specific powers, such as Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound.
This great remedy for women has
done more in the way of restoring
health to the women of America than

 The verdict was one which astound- ed the judge. who was at the time of the return of the verdict trying a nephew of the convicted man for the murder of another negro, and he sent the jury out of the court before he received the verdict and when the clerk mad read the verdict he said to the jury that he was amazed and as- founded at the verdict. The defendant was either guilty or was innocent If he was innocent he ought to have been discharged, and if guilty as the evil dence showed he was, he ought to have been punished as the merits of the case demanded. He was on trial for mur- der fin the first degree.
