wee FACTS ABOUT BABIES.

; What woman doesn’t fa want a baby—a dimpl-

ing, laughing darling,

dainty enough to be

cradled in ai snow- hite lily ?

We W U wha Every wo- ~\ manly woman wants eS one, but she doesn’t want too dainty a baby.

A baby’s cheeks may be too waxen-white and its body too puny, and when that’s the case, baby’s cheeks won't dimple or its lips jaugh, and death is in its eyes.

Above all things a woman wants a healthy baby, and she may have one if she will but gse the right remedy for weakness and dis- ease of the delicate an“ j:nportant organs that make baby a possibility. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription 1s the best of all med- dcines for prospecti onld-be mothers. jt makes a woman « distinctive organism atrong, healthy and vigerous. It allays in- fammation, soot. n and heals ulcera- tian. It banishes wie discomforts of the qaiting time and ikes the little new- comer’s entree to the world easy and almost

ainless. It insures baby’s health. In writing for advice to Dr. R. V. Pierce, for thirty years chief consulting physician to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y., a mother, wife or maid grites to one of the most eminent and skill- fal specialists in the world, at the head of a staff of physicians that has treated over 50,000 women.

“When I was taking your treatment. I sent in the names of three ladies who were sterile,” writes Mrs. M. A. Scott, of Park Rapids. Hubbard €o.. Minn. “One had been married seven years and had nochildren, and after taking Dr Pierce's Favorite Prescription she gave birth toa big girl ynside of a year. The other one was confined within a year and a half, after going six vears without having any children. I do not know how the third one came out, for we moved away."

Torpid liver and constipation are surely and speedily cured by Dr Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. They never gripe. They regulate, tone up and invigorate the liver. stomach and bowels. No substitute urged by mer- cenary dealers is as good.

What was more disquieting, they once or twice showed a disposition to take matters into their own hands. If they had done that, I have a notion this history would never have been written. As I listened to the shoutings and mutter- ings about me I had a very vivid re- membrance of Said Achmet’s tale of the Egyptian and Persian.

‘Here may be the very place where they were killed,”’ I theught to myself. as we went along. “ Here their blood

may have been poured out. These walls may have echoed their dying groans.” And sometimes in sudden

and familiar faces. Time reversed his movement, the past became the present, dead things started into life, and the absent and the distant were brought near.

Every brae and bush about Kilgour, every bend of the road, every burn, almost every tuft of heather, every dear tigure, my father, my mother, old Duncan, and the rest rose before me with the vividness of reality. Sir Thomas Gordon with his brown face was there, too, and so was Isabel, look- ing as I had se often seen her, with her melting eyes and her abundance of glossy hair. [ trembled with a feeling —half of joy, half of superstitious dread ~as I locked from one to another of the visionary company. It was pleasant to see them all as of old. Should I ever see them again ? The meeting was gladsome, but would it be the last ?
