Does Your Doctor Know

What's the matter with you? If he does,
the chances are he may help you, but
many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine.
one from dyspepsia. another from heart
disease, another from liver or kidney dis
ease. another from nervous exhaustion
or proStration, another with pain here

fering patient gets no better, but proba-
bly, worse, by reason of the delay, wrong
treatment and consequent complications.
A proper medicine like DR.. Pierce's Fa-

would have entirely removed the disease,
thereby dispelling all those distressing
symptoms, and instituting comfort in

Training the Skin.

The usual effect of draft OF cold
air upon the back of the neck is cold
and a sore throat. Many years ago
DR.. Brown Sequard. an eminent
French physician. devised means by
which sore throat from this cause
might be prevented. BY blowing upon
the back Of the neck with pair OF bel
lows, increasing the time each day, he
trained his patients until they could
endure this treatment for half an hour
without injury.
1t is not necessary to be exposed to
a draft of air on the back of the neck
in order to obtain this result. BY
means of the cold bath, the wet-sheet
rub. the shower bath. towel friction,
etc, the skin may be educated to con-
tract on the slightest increase OF cold.
Daily exposure to the contact OF cold
air is of the utmost Importance. 1t is
because of the constant exposure to
cold that the Indians body is all face"
the skin of his whole body has
learned to take care of itself.

In HARMONY with Nature.

Modern science as well as expert
ence has shown that contact with nat
ural surroundings, especially fresh air
sunshine and the ozoning emanatiops
from growing plants, has marvellous
health-imparting virtues. In these
natural agencies is active the power
which created and maintains all things
and which is constantly communicated
to all living things as the essential
condition OF continued life. The more
closely man comes to Nature, the
more deeply he may drink from the
fountain of life and healing. To live
in harmony with Nature in the fullest
and truest sense is to live In har'
mony with God; and to live in divine
harmony Is to be happy.

Gift for Presidents Son.

The Wyoming and South Dakota
cowboys who went to the Inauguration
gave small-sized wild West show be-

practically the entire junior popula-

At the close of the show the cow
boys selected handsome bay cow
pony and presented it to Theodore
Roosevelt, Jr., who. with his brothers.
was in evidence at the performance.
Young Theodore rode the horse home
to receive his fathers approval of it
and permission to accept the gift.
The president came out from the eX-
ecutive Offices bareheaded and stood in
the rain while his son rode up and
down to show off his horses gaits.
When he passed by single footing the
president shouted:
Good doings, good doings." and
gave his assent at once to acceptance
of the animal by the boy.
In the evening the president invited
all the visiting cowboys to the White
house. where they met Mrs. and Miss
Roosevelt and other members of the
family and several callers.

For Six Months He Could Not Turn In
Bed-He Tells of a Remedy Which
Has Given Perfect Relief.
The case Of Mr.. Marston shows that
sciatica can be cured, and no one afflicted
by it should allow himself to be dis
heartened. He was first stricken about a
pain which he thinks the most intense
that any man could possibly stand.
Asked about the details of his remark
able recovery, Mr.. Marston gave the fol-
lowing account: 81 was attacked by a
numbness or dull feeling just back of my
right hip. didn't know what the mat
ter was, but thought it was simply
stiffness that would wear away in
short time. 1t didn't, however, and
soon the pain became so very bad that
every step was torture for me. When 1
finally succeeded in getting home, it was
just as much us could do to reach my
room and get to bed.
1.-THE doctor was sent for, and when he
had examined me he said had sciaticN.
He prescribed for me, and advised me not
to try to leave my bed. The advice was
, unnecessary for I couldn't get out Of
bed if wanted to. 1t was impossible for
me to turn from one side to the other.
The moment I attempted to move any
part of my body, the pain became so ex-
cruciating that would have to lie per-
fectly motionless.

without getting any relief. Then dis
charged the doctor, and ON the advice of
n friend bought box of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills and began to take them, three
at a dose, three times n day. was de-
termined to give them thorough trial.
1.-TWO months after began to use
them was able to leave my bed and
walk about the house, and month later
was entirely cured and able to go about
my work as usual. think Dr. Williams
Pink Pills are the best medicine 1 ever
used, and heartily recommend them to
anyone who suffers from sciatica."
