Unfortunately, since Adam and Eve were driven from the Garden of litlcn, life has not been a toilless journey through a garden of flowers, Man mut earn bread by the sweat of his brow, and woman mint bring forth children in pain and suffering. In both cases the curse Is multiplied many times over because both men and women tiejrlect their health. Man's toil Is rendered a thousand times harder by the added burden of ilMicalth. The woman is a still greater sulTcrer. She suffers in si lence untold agonies from weakness and disease in a womanly way. Motherhood become to her a menace of death, and her babes arc born with the seeds of disease already implanted in their little bodies. There is but one unf.iiling remedy forworn en who suffer in this way. It is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription It acts directly on the delicate nnd impottant organs that bear the brunt of maternity. It makes them strong, healthy, vigorous, virile nnd elastic. It allays inflammation, heals ulceration, soothes pain and tones nnd builds up the tortured nerves. It fits for wifehood nnd motherhood It does nway with the trials of the period of apprehension nnd makes baby's advent easy and almost painless. Thousands have testified to its marvelous merits. " I wa afflicted for four years with local u-rak. nn, but would not rnnlest It for a time," writes Mrs. lieulah Wnndall, of Ilstrman, Patrick Co., Va , "then I look the 'Favorite VrcserlpUon' ami 'Oolden Medical Diirovcry,' nml they cured mr.

From the New York Sun, "One story about Commodore Corne lino Vnndcrhllt which I have never seen In mint was told to me many yeans ago by Daniel Drew, and 1 hnve no doubt but that It Is authcnMc," said a man who has known Intimately the men who hnve made New York his tory during the last half century. "Various stories have been printed about the beginnings of Vanderbllt'a fortune, and they nil go to show that luck played u very significant part In them. Vnnderbilt made money becaueo of his energy nnd his shrewdness; but I don't believe that It Is generally known that Mrs. Vanderbllt aided him very materially nt a time when he thought a good Investment was slipping through his 'hands because he had not enough money to iukc advantnge of his opportunity. "Daniel Drew know Vanderbllt well, and before his dcatlt he frequently entertained hlo friends with stories about the commodore's early life. It was when Vanderbllt was slmpiy an energetic young captnln connected w Ith the Union line for Philadelphia und Baltimore, 'through to Philadelphia In one day!' that the incident of which Drew delighted to tell occurred. In those days the steamer Emerald, Cap tain C. Vanderbllt, left her whaif, on the north side of the Battery, nt noon every day. Sundays excepted, with passengers for New Brunswick nnd Philadelphia. Passengers were not many, and many roplo went down to New Brunswick and back by boat for the pleasure of the trip. New Brunswick's hotel, or half-way house, was dirty and ill-kept. Mrs. Vander bllt saw her opportunity. She sug gested to her husband that they should tako the hotel, refit it, and mil it in a style that would attract gucflts. Van derbllt thought well of it. and, after leasing the hotel, he took his family from his father's little house at Sta ploton to live in New Brunswick. As Mrs. Vanderbllt had suggested the echemc, her husband told her that she might run the hotel herself and have Hie profits. "Mrs. Vanderbllt was a strong, in dustrious, frugal woman, and she turned the hotel upside down, cleaned It and made it lit for guests. She named it Bellona Hall after the steam ship Bellona, which her husband then commanded, and in a very short time the fame of It had spread to New York, and parties were made up to visit It because of the excellent fare to be found there. It also Increased the profits of the line for which Captain Vanderbllt worked, and his salary was lncreused to $1',000 h year. For twelve years Mrs. Vanderbllt managed Bel lona Hall, with profit to herself and plcahure to her guests. "During these years Captain Van derbllt had been studvlng steamship and Investigating the chances for profit In trallle on the Hudson nnd along the Sound. He wanted to bo one of the transportation magnates of this city, and although his fortune was small he had vnluable ideas, gained from years of practical experience as u steamboat captain, and he felt sure that If he could ;et the right opening he need not fear the greater wealth of his rivals. He had never questioned Mrs. Vunderbllt's management of the hotel, but he knew thut she had saved some money. In 1S29 his opportunity came. He had a chance to get a controlling interest In a steamship for $18,000. He had $r.000 In cash which he had saved, but he didn't know where to raise the balance. He told his wife about tnis steamship which he wanted and ex plained to her his plans for making money if he could get the ship. " -I need S13.000 more.' said the cap tain, 'and I don't know where I can get it.' " 'I will give It to you.' said Mrs. Vanderbllt, and to her husband's sur prise she pulled the money out from under the bed, She had saved It from the profits of the hotel. Captain Van derbllt bought his boat and then he bought many others, but his first ship he owed to his wife." Tor Infants and Children, The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears tho tdLfM& Signature W.
