)1 A WISH. This wish for you: that past rough roads unheeded You march ahead Undaunted, with the hope of trust be gotten To win life's bread: To wear a smile e'en when tears be your portion. With sighs unsaid; Tb find fair blooms from last year's brown leaves springing, vfpon your way; To reap the worth of deeds gone by that left you A bit more gray, A bit more strong to live and love with others From day to day. In fruitful fields may Time think wise to give you A gentle part; With love of home and friends to twine about you May this year start-r Blue skies to cheer, and peace of God to guide you, O faithful heart! —The Outlook.

WHY DOCTORS FAIL AND MRS. PINKHAM SUCCEEDS Plain Reasons Are Here Given to Explain Why Lydia E. Pinkham x Vegetable Com pound Cure* When Doctor* Aro Powerless A woman is sick; aomr disease peculiar to her sex is fast developing in her sys tem. Nile goes to her family physician and tells him a story, but not the whole Story. >she holds something back, loses her head, becomes agitated, forgets whnt she wants to say, and finally conceals what she might to have told, and thus completely mystifies the din-tor. Is-it any wonder, tlien-fore, that the 1 doctors fail to cure the disease? Still we cannot blame the woman, for it. is very embarrassing to detail some of the sy itiptoms of her suffering, even to her family physician. It was for this reason that years ago Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass., de termined to step .in and help her sex. Having hnil considerable experience in treating female ills with her Vegetable Compound, she encouraged the women of America to w rite to her for advice in regard to their complaints, and being a woman, it was easy for her ailing sis ters to pour into lu-r ears every detail of their suffering. In this way- she was able to do for them what the physicians were unable to do, simply because she had the proper information to work upon, and from the little group of women who sought her advice years ago a great army of her fellow-lieiiigs are to-day constantly applying for advice and re lief, and the fact that many thou sands of them have been cured by following the advice of Airs. Pinkham during the last year is indicative of the grand results which are produced by her unequaled experience and training. No physician in the world lias had such a training, or lias such an amount of information at hand to assist in the treatment of all kinds of female ills, from the simplest local irritation to the most complicated womli diseases, This, therefore, is the reason why Mrs. Pinkham, in her laboratory at 1 Lynn, Mass., is able to do more for the i ailing women of America than the ! family physician. Any woman, thore- I fore, is responsible for her own suffer ing who will not Like the trouble to write to Mrs. Pinkham for advice. The testimonials which we are con stantly publishing from grateful wo men establish beyond a doubt the power of Lydia E. Pinktiam’s Vegetable Compound to conquer female disease-,. THEATRICAL "The Two Orphans.” Local playgoers are assured of a rare dramatic treat on the occasion of the engagement of the celebrated all-star cast in “The Two Orphans” at the Grand tomorrow night. The version of the play to he pre sented is the original one made for A. M. Palmer thirty years ago. It Is considered the best melodrama con structed during the past generation. Everything there should be in a | drama seems to be In “The Two Or plums'*—innocence, virtue, adventure, villainy, peril, grief, lust and hypoc risy. In the revival one of the great est casts that has ever oeen gathered 'together for any one production has ! been secured. James O’Neill, who has been associated with "Monte Oristo” for so many years that he.has almost lost, his identity in the role, plays the Chevalier, a character which he played with striking suc cess before "Monte Oristo" was ever heard of.. .1. E Dodson will be seen as the cripple. Pierre, a role in which he has created a sensation through out the country. Louis .lames, the Jacques Froehard of the cast, Is a Hlrong local favorite, lie was an original member of the Boston Thea tre Stock company. Jameson Lee Finney will be s<#»n as Picard. Mrs LeMoyne appears as the Countess; Elila Proctor Otis, who made her rep utation ns Nancy Sykes In "Oliver Twist,” is seen as La Froehard, and : Clara Morris will lie seen as Sister I Genevieve. Taken all in all, the east of this remarkable revival can only be regarded as one of the most nota ble ever seen on the American stage, ilt is interesting to compare It with that seen in tlx- play originally at the I Union Square thirty years ago. The Chevalier then was played by Charles Thorne, F. F. Mackay was Pierre, McKee Rankin the Jacques, Stuart Robson the original Picard, Kate Ciax ton the blind girl, Kitty Blanchard, the Henrlette, Ida Vernon the Sister Genevieve, Fanny Morant. the Coun tess.

After finishing my education at the old Missouri Medical College (the old est college of any kind west of Missis sippi River I, in IMK’t, I commenced practicing medicine in this country. For a number of years I was very re luctant about using anything not strictly ethical, but for several years 1 have tx-en using Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription with much success in treatment of the various female com plaints. For young girls just changing to womanhood it is an excellent medi cine to tide them through that change, and for all irregularities of the monthly perusJ I lind it the remedy. For preg nant women I use it to tine up and Strengthen the delicate orguna of gen eration. For ladies suffering about the change of life it is also a splendid rem edy. I know there exists a prejudice with some doctors regarding trie use of proprietary remedies, but after twenty years’ experience, I hsvi learned to use any remedy that will benefit my pa tients, which 1 consider the logical view a doctor should lake on the subject. Very respectfully, J, eland Williamson, M.
