Fairmont, W. Va.-fI suffered for
about six years with serious feminine
trouble. At last 1 had to take to my
bed. I was so weak I could hardly
raise up. I suffered for ten weeks,
enough to die. Three doctors said L
would lave to go to the hospital for
an operation or face sure death. L
sent to the drug store and got a bottle
Of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription,
also a box of DR.. Pierce's Purifying
Lotion Tablets and used both exactly
according TO the directions. When 7
had used these wonderful remedies only
one week I could go around in the
house and assist with my work. I now
can do all my own work and some for
others, too. I can t praise DR.. Pierce's
wonderful medicines enough for the
great benefit I have received. They
will doubtless do as much for others as
they did for me. Mrs. Clara B.

Discovers It Is
 Funny When
 Joke Is Not On Curse elves

'Matrimony is funny. Laugh over 1t, and you will enjoy 1t. Take it too seriously. and you will go on the rocks with it."
 So a popular preacher told his con- gregation the other day, and the con- gregation probably reflected that. so far as 1t was individually concerned, matrimony was no laughing matter. Of course. marriage Is funny. It Is 8 perfect scream. We can laugh our heads off when an elocutionist gives a good imitation of a woman doing curtain lecture when her husband comes home late at night. We roar over the stories of the bride who orders half a lamb for a dinner for two, and whose biscuits are bet ter fitted for ammunition than for human consumption. And we find nothing more side-splitting than the pictures of little Mr. Henpeck being dragged around by his big and bossy wife.
 Any vaudeville actor who can give a lifelike impersonation of drunken man trying to find the key hole to his own door can bring down the house, and virtually all farces are built around the delightfully."- hu- morous Idea of the unfaithful hus-
 
 eyes of his middle aged wife while he sports around with beautiful young creatures half her age and weight
 Oh, marriage Is funny enough as long s the joke Is on somebody else, but 1t rather cramps our style of laughing when the merry jest Is on ourselves.
 FNI- t.t- monolc que on his own shortcomings that tickles the disabilities of any husband. When a man is old and gray headed he may look back and laugh at his wlfes first attempts at housekeeping, but 1t takes him 40 years to see how amusing they were. He didn't see anything to laugh at in outrageous bills and uneatable dinners at the time. The man who Is under his wifes thumb may look a figure of fun to others, but he doesn't lock that way to himself.
 No woman ever had enough sense of humor to smile at the wavering footsteps and the maudlin talk of drunken man when that man was the man she loved, and however farcical the antics of the philandering hus- band may be to the outside world. to his wife they are not comedy, | but tragedy.
 Nevertheless, 1t Is true that mar riage is funny, and that a well de- veloped sense of humor will do more than all the Ten Commandments to make it a success. There are so many things in domestic life over which one must laugh or cry, and 1t Is so much better to smile than weep
