My tears and my troubles were yours
did any one grieve me,
carried it straight TO the love- that was
sure to relieve me.
o my, dear, when aught happens, TO you
i am turning.
Forgetting how far YOU have Travelled
this day from my yearning.
There is nobody now TO tell things to;
your house is so lonely;
And still I'm forgetting and bringing my
tale TO you only.
The old days are over; how pleasant they
were. the fine weather.
When youth and my darling and / were

And still I'm forgetting cchope, that no
longer you're near me.
And turn TO you still with my tale, and
there's no one to hear me.

This surprised DR.. Chaplin, who asked,

Mr. Knowlton quickly said. "Ah,

The legal position of Queen Alex

private business is concerned she Is
not regarded by the laws and customs
of England as a married woman. The
idea of the law is that affairs OF state

therefore no responsibility for TIE

A Vindication for Or. Pierce.
Decision by the Supreme Court Of the
State, Against the Ladies' Home
Journal.

A verdict has been rendered in
favor of the plaintiff In the libel suit
brought against the Ladies Home
Journal published by the Curtis Pub
fishing Coz by the Worlds Dis
pensary Medical Association, Of which
DR.. r. V. Pierce is president. The
suit was brought by Doctor Pierce
against the Curtis Publishing Co.,
for making false statements about one
Of his standard family medicines
known as Dr. pierce's Fayorite Pre-
scription. In the May number OF the
Ladies' Home Journal (1904), Mr.. Ed
ward Box. the editor. stated that Dr.
Pierces Favorite Prescription con-
tanned alcohol and some other harm
full ingredients, and DR.. Pierce had
in the action alleged that the defend
ant maliciously published this article
containing such false and defamatory
matter. DR.. Pierce further claimed
that no alcohol is or ever was con.
tanned in his "Favorite Prescription"
that said medicine was vegetable
preparation and contained no dele
terious ingredients whatever; that Mr..
Bok's statement. pretending to give
some of the ingredients of said medi-
cine, was wholly and absolutely
false. During the trial. the Vice.
President of the Worlds Dispensary
Medical Association stated, that the
ingredients Of DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription were extracted from the
following native roots: Golden Seal,
Blue Cohosh, Lady's Slipper, Black
Cohosh and Unicorn, by means OF
pure glycerine. He was asked how
he knew, as a physician and ex-
perienced medical man, that the ia
vorite Prescription" was cure for
the diseases peculiar to women, such
as amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, ante
version retro-yersion, and he stated
that he knew such was the fact be-
cause of his professional experience
and the many thousands of women
whose ills had been cured by this
Prescription" The Vice-President,
being asked to give his authorities,
read from the standard works, such
as the United States Dispensatory,
The American Dispensatory and many
other standard medical books.
The retraction printed by the Cur
It's Publishing Company two months
after the libelous statement appeared
and nearly two months after the suit
had been begun stated definitely that
analyses had been made at their re-
quest and that the ''Favorite Prescrip-
ton" did not contain either alcohol.
