Delicate, weak, nervous women should
especially shun the use of alcoholic
medicines which, from their stimulat-
ing and exhilerating effects may seem,
for time, to do good, but which from
the inevitable effects of the alcohol in
shrinking up the red corpuscles Of the
blood are sure to do great and lasting
harm in the long run. Besides they
beget craving for stimulants which is
most deplorable.
Only invigorating and nerve strength
ening effects can follow the use of this
famous medicine for women. 1t can
not possibly do harm in any state or
condition of the system. It has been
carefully adapted to woman's needs by
an experienced physician-a specialist

If a woman has bearing down, or
dragging pains, low down in the abdo-

Dramatic Schools,

Like art students, the school of act
ing pupils form little world of their
own. All their days, of course, are
spent together, and in the evenings, as
tickets are often sent to the schools by
the managers when there is room,
they go to plays together. At the thea
ter they tell each other knowingly
what the actors on the stage ought to
have done. They live in the ebullient
atmosphere Of mutual criticism and
endless theoretical argument of young
people who are all trying to do the
same thing. Naturally they drift at
once into that easy familiarity of the
sexes characteristic of all art schools
where young men and women are
brought together on equal terms. The
girls outnumber the men two to one
and even more, which, in casting the
plays, at least, makes the men do dou-
Bile duty and get twice the opportuni-
ties. Possibly the reason that fewer
men go to the schools than women is
largely economic, possibly it is because
more women are stage smitten, but
the plant of the schools is that Of the
summer resort-there are not enough
