Frequent backache and distressing
pains, accompanied by offensive dis
charges and generally by irregular
and scanty menstruation indicate dis.
placement or nerve degeneration OF
the womb and surrounding organs.
The question that troubles women
is how can a woman who has some fe-
male trouble bear healthy children?
Mrs. Anna Potts, of $40 Park Avenue,
Hot Springs, Ark, writes:

The SurDrises of Life.

The surprise of life always comes in
finding how we have missed the things
that have lain nearest to US; how WE
have gone far away to seek that which
was close by our side all the time.
Men who live best and longest are apt
to come, as the result of their living. to
the conviction that life is not only rich
er but simpler than it seemed to them
at first. Men go to vast labor seeking
after peace and happiness. 1t seems
to them as il it We're far away from
them, as if they must so through vast
and strange regions to get it. They
must pile up wealth, they must see
every possible danger Of mlshap guard
ed against. before they can have peace.
Upon low many old men has 1t come
with strange surprise that peace
should come to rich or poor only with
contentment, and that they might as
well have been content at the very end
of life! They have made long jour.
ney for their treasure, and when at last
they stoop to pick it up, 10! it is shin
ing close beside the footprint which
they left when they set out to travel
in Il rircle.-Phillips Brooks.
