married life depends
on the wife’s health
oftener than on any
other one considers
tion. An ailing wo
man is a source of
discontent to herself
and a burden and
drag upon her hus
band. Women by
taking more interest
in their own phys
ical condition would
lay the best founda
tion for married hap
| pi ness and every
other happiness.
More than half the
suffering which saps
the energies ana sours the disposition ot
women is directly traceable to some disor
der of the organs distinctly feminine. There
is no real need of such troubles ; they are
invariably cured by Dr. Pierce’s Favorite
Prescription, which reaches and strengthens
the internal generative organs as no other
treatment can possibly do. By restoring
health and strength to this most important
part of the feminine constitution, the “Fa
vorite Prescription ” gives new tone and en
ergy to all the rest of the body
One of the most deeply interesting and
truly educative books ever written is the
“ People’s Common Sense Medical Ad
viser,” by Dr. R. V. Pierce. Chief Consult
ing Physician of the Invalids’ Hotel and
Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y. This
splendid volume of ioo3 pages, includes
ninety pages on the subject of diseases pe
culiar to women, with directions for home
treatment, rendering unnecessary the em
barrassing examinations,” and generally
useless 'rioeal treatment,” so dreaded by
modest women. The book contains the
most comprehensive explanation of human
physiology and the rational principles of
hygiene ever pnblished. Illustrated with
over 300 engravings — a complete medical
librarv in one volume. No other medical
book in the English language ever had such
an enormous sale. 680.000 copies were sold
at $1.50 each. Dr. Pierce is now distrib
uting a new free edition of half a million
copies. A copy will be sent absolutely free
to anyone who will send to the \Vorld’s
Dispensary Medical Association. Buffalo,
N. Y., ai one-cent stamps to pay cost of
mailing only. The present edition is in all
respects the same as that sold at $1.50 ex
cept only that it is bound in strong uiasilla
pap dr covert instead of cloth.

MR. MEEK'S DINNER.
New York Truth.
“I wo-ader, James," said Mrs. Meek,
doubtfully, to her husband one morn
ing, “If you could get your own dinner
to-night. You see I've had to let the
servant go on her holidays for a day or
two, and they want me desperately at
the Woman's Aid and Relief bazaar, to
help them with their high tea from
4:30 to 8:30. If you thought you could
manage by yourself-"
“I’ll try to survive it," observed Mr.
Meek, good- na-turedlv. “I don't fancy
it will prove fatal."
“I’!l get a roast and cook it this morn
ing. then," went on Mrs. Meek, cheer
fully, “and you can have it cold for din
ner.”
“Thank you," replied Mr. Meek,
"you'll do nothing o*f t'he kind. I fancy
I haven’t gone camping pretty much
every year of my life for nothing. I
suspect I can manage a hot dinner about
as well as most women.”
Mrs. Meek had her doubts, and, un
like most wives, expressed them.
Mr. Meek viewed his wife’s doubts
with supreme contempt, and, unlike
most husbands, expret-sed it.
Thus it finally resulted that Mrs.
Meek abandoned all idea of preparalng
Mr. Meek's dinner for him, and betook
herself to the bazaar. So It resulted,
furthermore, that Mr. Meek left his
office about 4 o'clock that afternoon,
and proceeded to collect, on his way
home, the necessary supplies for a
dainty little dinner.
An alluring display of chickens were
the first thing to catch his eye, and he
was just on the point of securing one
of them, when, by good luck, or more
proha'bly through the natural sagacity
of the man, he recollected that—well,
that you don't, as a rule, cook chick- !
ens as they ar?. In the momentary re
action that followed this feat of mem
ory. 'be bought a couple of mutton chops
and three tomatoes.
“I’ll have a good, plain, old-fashioned
English dinner,” thought he. as he hur
ried past the deceitful chickens, with
something almost akin to rpproach.
"None of your finiky, poultry dinners
for me!"
“By Jove! he exciaimea a moment
later “I’ll have an fipple pudding and
that he promptly rushed Into a grocer}'
some oyster soup to begin on.”
He was so tickled with this idea that
shop and purchased half a peck of their
b€3t eating apples, and then hurried
home without a thought of the cab he
was to order for his wife at 8:30 sharp.
By 5 o’clock he had the fire going
beautifully, and everything ready for a
start.
By f> o'clock he was Just beginning
to enjoy the thing: the tomatoes were
stewing divinely; the potatoes were
boiling to their heart's content; and
the milk for the oyster soup was sim
mering contentedly on the back of the
stove.' The oysters, by the by, had not
arrived.
“Dear me,” thought the ambitious
gentleman. “I wish I had thought of it
in time, and I’d have had some oyster
patties far a sort of final dessert.
Hello. what’s this? By thunder, if that
