Weekly Health Talks
The Many Mysteries of
Nature
BY L. W. BOWER, M. D.

You can take an onion seed and pansy
seed, and plant them side by side in the
same spot Of ground. In one case, you
get an onion, with its peculiarly strong
odor, and in the other you get q flower Of
rare beauty. You can plant q poppy seed
and get opium "a dangerous, habit-forming
drug, or you can plant a rhubarb seed and
get something that helps constipation.
No scientist, living or dead, can explain
these mysteries OF Nature. Behind the
invisible life germ in each seed is hidden
the deep secret that nobody understands.
Everything growing out Of the ground
seems intended for some use in establishing
natural conditions. DIR. Pierce, Of Buffalo,
N. Y, long since found out what is
naturally best for women's diseases. He
learned it all through treating thousands
Of cases. The result Of his studies was a
medicine called DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. This medicine is made OF
vegetable gowths that nature surely in
tended for backache, headache, weakening
drains, bearing-down pains, periodical ir-
regularities, pelvic inhammations, and for
the many disorders common to women in
all ages Of life. DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription is made Of lady's slipper root,
black cohosh root, unicorn root, blue
cohosh root and Oregon grape root.
Women who take this standard remedy
know that in DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription they arc getting safe woman's
tonic so good that druggists everywhere
sell it.
Favorite Prescription should have the
full confidence Of every woman in America
because it contains no alcohol and no
narcotic. DR., Pierce knew, when he first
made this standard medicine, that whiskey
and morphine are injurious, and so he has
always kept them out Of bis remedies.

 'It is a lamentable fact said R.

It is also true that a great number of these young men possess a very meager grammar school education and have had no vocational training Anyone who is in position to interview these men as they return are immediately impressed with the great weakness in our educational sys- tenn especially in vocational educa ton.
