The CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-
cal Health.

The experience Of Motherhood is try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in a hundred is prepared or UNI
derstands how to properly care for her
self. OF course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, a most valuable tonic and
invigorator of the female organism.

were disposed to be lenient, though the
evidence was conclusive as to his guilt
Il told Reaves that he must act as
foolish as he could in order to help his
case. So on the day the case was tried
Reaves appeared in court-it was a roast
ing summer day-wearing a heavy over
coat buttoned up to his throat
When the court was opened by the
marshal Reaves jumped up and made a
spectacle of himself by calling out foolish
statements. AS the judge would have to
take action, l rose and told the judge
that he could see for himself that my
client was not a responsible person; so
the case was nolle pressed and Reaves
told to go and sin no more.
Several years later, when I was the
prosecuting attorney, found that Reayes
had been up to his old tricks and was
IN court for trial on another violation
of the revenue laws. When he took the
stand 1 asked him the following oues-
tions:
You have frequently been indicted
for this offense"
You ought to know replied Reaves.
You were my lawyer.
You were once indicted in the United
States court, were you not? 1 asked
You ought to know that, too replied
Reaves. L paid you a fee to get me off. >
