THE LOVER'S LEAP.
The Romance nnd Reality or
Woman's Love.
Of all lover's leaps sung In song or
told In Btory, that was the greatest.
Do you remember the story us Mr.
Browning tells It In the rhyme of the
Duchess May? A talo of those fierce
feudal times when might was right,
nnd when tho law was writ In tho
sharp edge of n man's sword. Sir Guy
had stolen away tho bride of a rival
suitor. And now tho rival has be
setged the castle, which has sheltered
their brief happiness, until there Is no
moro use In defense. In despair Sir
Guy climbs to tho topmost tower and
sends for his steed. He will take one
leap from the battlement and die llko
a man. But his wife hears the Btced'i
hoofs on tho stnlr, and follows It
vvas the horse that had horno them on
tho night of their bridal swift and
safe from put suing vassals, and her
hand wns on the bridal when spouse
and steed swept upon the tower.
Down sdio knelt at her loid's Kneo
And sho looked up sllcntlj,
And ho kissed her twice nnd thrlco
For that look within her eves.
Which he could rot bear to s"e.
Then putting her away from him,
he bade her go back to her tiring
loom and her maids. But she by
wifely bond and woman's Iovo sworo
that in death or life she would not bo
parted from him. He turned and
sprang the saddle, but she caught and
clung to tho stirrup icln. With bit
and spur he backed his horse for that
wild leap from the battlements,
"whence a hundred feet went down."
But she still clung, half swooning,
her hair sweeping the ground and her
limbs dragging. Three times her
husband broke her claps and tluee
times her hands closed again with the
same convulsive clutch. Then, ns
commending her to God, he pressed his
horse back for tho fearful leap, lovo
gave her almost supet human strength
and she climbed to tho saddle with
him, "By her love sho overcame."
And her bead was on his breast.
Where sho s-mlled like one at rest.
Then the horse In stnik despair with his
Front hoof poNed in air
On tho last verge rears amain.
Now lie hang", be recks between, and
His nostrils cuidlo In,
Now he i-hlvers head and hoof, and
The Hakes of foam fall off.
And his face grows fierce and thin.
Then back-toppllt g, crashing lurk.
A dead weight flung out to wrack,
Horse and lldeis overfell.
Oh! men sigh, that was a woman to
die for. There are no Mich women
now-a-days. The high heroism Is a
tiling of the past. Let the men who
thinks so go Into his kitchen awhile
and watch his wife, worn and weary,
while he ponders this saying:
It's haider to live with the average
man than to die with him.
There nie doubtless women, worn
out, broken down, crushed by the du
ties of wifehood and motheihood, who
would gladly trade all these yeais of
suffering and pain for a few Joyous
monthfi that followed manlage and
then like the Duchess May, smile at
the dark leap, with the aims of tho
man sho loved close-clasping her.
Every wife, every mother Is a heio
lne. Is there no courage In putting
that little hand into vours, nnd for
saking father and mother for jour
sake? Is there no hctoism In assum
ing the responsibility and risk ot
motherhood?
It is doubly heiolc when the young
woman can look nround her and see
whnt loss maniage so often entails,
loss of health, of figure, of complex
Ion, of strength.
Tho best lecognltion that can be
given to the heroism of women Is that
which minimizes its perils and
smooths tho path of duty as much as
possible. It's a very beautiful thing
to have a monument setting foith thu
virtues of tho wife and mother, with
a weeping husband hanging wreaths
about It. But it is a very much moro
beautiful thing to be a happy, healthy
woman and a "Joyful mother of chil
dren." Tho crown of motheihood ought not
to bo a crown ot maityidom.
Tho moat practical iccognltlon of tho
worth of woman, her couiage, her
suffeilng and her needs, is to bo
found in that "God-send to women,"
Doctor Pierce's Favorlto Prescription.
There Is no extravaganco In that
statement. Tho martyrdom of moth
erhood Is done away by the uso of
this great lemedy for female troubles,
debilitating drains, and the Inflam
mation and ulceration which cause
Buch suffering.
"I would llko to express my grati
tude to you for the benefit I havo le
celved from your wonderful medicine,
Dr. Pierce's Favorlto Prescription,"
writes Mrs. II. C. Anderson, of South
Britain, New Haven Co,, Conn,, (Uox
33). "During tho first month after I
found I was going to become a mother
I could not keep anything on my
stomach. Was so sick that I had to
go to bed and stay for weeks. In
fact I went to bed tho 28th of Juno
and never got up until tho first of J
i' 1 1 mjjmmm m 1 1 1 11
August. I tried different doctors, but
with little benefit. I rend about many
being helped by using your medicine,
so I thought 1 would give It a trial. I
began to take your 'Favorlto Pre
scription' In November nnd I had n
nice little baby girl In Febiuary fol
lowing. My baby weighed over eight
pounds. 1 wns only Hi hard labor
about one hour and got along nicely
during confinement; wns up nnd
dressed on the eighth day. I never
had the doctor with mo at all; Just
tho nurso and ono or two ft lends. My
friends thought that I was sick a
very short time. I think Dt. Plcice's
Favorlto Prescription Is Indeed a true
'mother's friend,' for it helped we won
derfully. It kept mo from having a
miscarriage. ThlB makes my Hecond
child; with the first one I did not take
Favorite Piescrlptlon' nnd I had n
miscarriage. The Ilttlo ono lived Just
about two months and she was sick
all tho time. This last baby Is as
1 plump nnd healthy as any mother
could wish. She Is about three weeks
old now and Is gaining in flesh every
dav "
That letter offers a practical exam
ple of what "Favorite Prescription"
has done for thousands of women. Al
most all of tho letters lecelved by Dr.
Pierce dwell on the wonderful absence
of pain, the cheerful spirits, tho per
fectly safe and comfortable feeling as
the hour of trial draws near, and then
the clowning surprise of nil, that the
ordeal of tho birth hour Is so short
and almost painless. But a good many
other women are pleased to tell the
other side ot the story, how robust
their health becomes, how fine tho form
and fair the faco that follows the uso
of this health-giving medicine.
Mis. Mary E. Lewis, of Tanner. Gil
mer Co., W. Va., writes: "I will al
ways lecommend Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, 'Favorite Piescrlp
tlon' and 'Pleasant Pellets,' for they
cured mo when doctots nnd other
medicines failed. For fifteen eais I
suffered untold misery. When I com
menced taking Dr. Plcice's medicines
I had given up all hope of getting well.
I could not He down to sleep and ev
erything I nte would cramp me to
death. Was very nervous and could
hardly walk across the room. I only
weighed ninety pounds when I com
menced taking these medicines six
cars ago, I now weigh one hundred
and foity pounds and am having bet
ter health than ever before. My
friends all say that they can hardly
believe I am the same person, after
being sick so long I havo changed to
be robust and losy cheeked. I have
taken fifteen bottles of tho 'Piescrlp
tlon,' fifteen of the 'Dlscoveiy' and llt
teen of the 'Pellets.' I take gieat
pleasure In lecommendlng your medi
cines to the sick, for I know that if It
had not been for them I would not be
living today. I am very thankful to
God, who put the great power In jour
medicines that cuicd me."
The secret of these changes In
health and appeal ante is easily ex
plained. The geneial health ot wo
men cannot bo separated tiom the
local health of tho delicate nnd sensi
tive womanly oigans. When these nre
dlsensed, the whole henlth suffers. Tho
nerves are affected and the result Is
sleeplessness and lestlessness. The

Sick women ato Invited to consult
Dr. R. V. Pierce by letter without
chaige. For more than thlity jeais
as chler consulting phjslclan ot the
Invalids' Hotel und Suiglc.il institute
at Buffalo, N. Y , Dr. Iierco has mado
tho tieatment of dlseaso of women his
special study. Of a half million cases
tieated, ninety-eight women out ot
every bundled have been peifectly and
permanently cuied. It's a wonderful
record, attested by grateful letters
fiom women In evciy part of tho coun
try. Theio Is positively no charge for
such consultation. Every letter Is
held ns strictly private and saciedly
confidential, and to preserve that pri
vacy tluoughout. nil answers are
mailed In perfectly plain envelopes
without printing or advertising upon
them. Wrlto without fear ns without

Designing men sometimes Invite wo
men to "wilto to u woman' 'on tho
score of lecelving "a woman's sym
pathy" and that "a woman under
stands woman's aliments." Tho
The "beared lady" Is evidently not
found in tho dime museum nlone. Tho
fallacy of such statements Is evident
when It Is considered that If any wo
man can cure woman's diseases It must
be by medical knoledge. It Is only of
recent years women hnvo entered tho
medical profession. All tho medical
knowledge any woman can havo sho
must havo learned from some man or
the writings of some man, which
makes ridiculous the claim that "wo
man understands woman" better than
the men who taught and trained her.
There Is Is as far as known no woman
phjslclnn quallilod to ptactlcc, con
nected with any proprietary medicine.
It Is absolutely certain that there la
no woman with a record equal to Dr.
Pierce's; moro than thirty ycais ot
special study of women's diseases, in
which more than half a million havq
been treated and ninety-eight In every,
hundred have been completely cured.
