MONOTONY INDOORS

Men have interesting work, meet
ing friends and strange new person
alities daily. They rarely stop to
realize the deadly monotony OF
homework
There are just four persons with
whom a housewife may expect to
deal in the course of her days work
the ice man, the milk man, the
grocer's boy and the mail man.
In winter she doesn't even have
the ice man. The milk man is train
ed to look for the ticket in the bot
tie. And the mail man rings the
bell and it out of sight before Friend
Wife gets to the door. The grocery
boy is chiefly interesting because of
the mud he tracks in.
If you had that sort of life, living
with you would be as pleasant as &C.
cupying the same cage with a wild
cat.

Among the notable professional men
of this country who achieved great
success along strictly legitimate lines
was DR.. r. V. Pierce. Devoting his
attention to the speciality of women's
diseases, be became o. recognized
authority in that line.
Over fifty years ago this noted
physician gave to the World a Pre-
scription which has never been
equaled for the weaknesses of
women. DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y,
long since found out what is natu-
rally best for women's diseases. He
learned it all thru treating thou
sands of cases. The result of his
studies was a medicine called Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. This
medicine is made of vegetable growths
that nature surely intended Tor back
ache, headache, weakening pains, and
fer the many disorders common to
women in all ages of life. Women who
take this standard remedy know that
in DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
they are getting safe woman's tonic
so good that druggists everywhere sell
it in both tablet and fluid form.
