Letter From Leslie Prescott to Mrs
 Mary Alden Prescott.

Letter From Leslie Prescott to Mrs.
 Mary Alden Prescott.
 My Dear Jacks Mother:
 1 don't think you quite realized how you hurt mo in the last letter which you wrote me. Surely you must know that 1 am too devoted to your son to do anything in all the world to make his mother unhappy.
 I have been very ill and Jack has kept mo from anything that would fret me, consequently I have never seen one of your letters or one of the letters by your friend. Miss Bradford, that he has received.
 Of course you know my mind was somewhat unsettled after the loss o my baby and nothing seemed to interest me in any particular until they brought to me the darlingest baby boy l have ever seen. Oh ] know if you could see him you would love him. You would not think for one moment l was foolish. and be- sides. it always has seemed to me that taking a baby who otherwise might not have any joy or comfort or content in its life and giving it some of these is the greatest good anyone can do.
 am very sorry you have not been well and l hope you will understand after getting this letter that ] have not been neglectful of you. but have been so i'll myself that every thing which could possibly in any way disturb me. my mother and Sack have kept from me. We grow little selfish over our own ills, do RI not?

HOME REMEDIES OF OUR
ANCESTORS

Almost every man and woman in
America can remember the botanic
recipes of our mothers and grand
mothers for the treatment of disease,
and they were wonderfully depend
able too. Every fall there were
stored away in the attic thorough
wort, pennyroyal, catnip, sage, worm
wood. rue. etc, for treating ills Of
the family during the winter months
that followed. In 1873, Lydia E.,
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was
first prepared from one of these
botanic recipes, and the demand for
it ha: increased to such an extent
that hundreds of tons of roots and
herbs are now used annually in its
preparation. 1t has recently been
proved that SO out of every 100 wom-
en- who try it have been benefited by
its use, which is q marvellous record
for any '1edicine 20 hold.-Adv.
