It is a curious fact that the word faint Is derived from a French word meaning to pretend. The word feint, meaning a deceptive movement, as by the boxer or swordsman, has the same derivation. So that In liucqnsctous ness was merely ono who feigned Ill ness, lint there Is no feigning In thnt sudden failure of the vital power which blanches the cheek, closes the eyes, Seems to stop the breath and sends the woman an Inert mass upon the counter at which she Is shopping. Fainting Is veiy real for the stlffeier who can not go to ball or theater without this liability to sudden unconsciousness, mennclng her enjoyment and safety Why do women faint? Women them selves would In this ndvunced age of progress be the first to deny the charge of physical frailty. They run and tow, they sulm nnd ride, they golf and shoot side by side with men. And yet they faint. You rarely hear of a man's fainting. Such a thing Is so uncom mon ns to partake of the nature ot u phenomenon Why don't men faint ' Why can a weak fi.imed, undersized man go through life without fainting, when a splendid woman, a Diana for beauty and coinage, must know the humiliation of this sudden lapse of consciousness? Theiels A SCARLET CLFE to follow which will bilng us safely out fiom the labyrinth of discussion. Theie nie certain times when a wom an Is more liable to faint than she is at other times. And those times will be found to be the times when tho womanly nature and functions nie most dominant. The conclusion Is It resis tible. As a general pioposltlon a wo man faints because the delicate organ" by which she Is differentiated from biother or husband aie affected by ells ease. Woman Is creation's master piece, the last and fairest work of the Creatoi. To her aie given Jojs and sonow which no man may know nnd no man can share. To her also Is glv ven a capacity for suffering beyond the knowledge of men The great ciues tlon is. To what extent Is this suffer ing necessary Has woman been made so finely only thnt she may know the leilnement of suffeilng" The very thought Is an outrage on Natuie. The "new woman" will know nothing of the suffeilng of the woman of the past She will "run and not be weniv" She will "walk and not faint" Let her cut nwav at once and forever the thought that she Is under Nature's paitlcular ban and must suffer be cause she is a woman Let her lele gate that superstitutlon to the limbo wheie all the old superstitions that left her a slave have long been icle gated. Let her believe that there is n way to sound physical health which those that seek will surelv llnd. THE RIGHT WAY to escape the physical bondage of weak ness is, to follow the guidance of other women who havo found a way of es cape from tho suffeilngs so long es teemed Insepniable fiom the feminine nature. "For seven jeais I wns confined to bed most of the time," wtltes Mrs. M. P. Davis, of Honakei, Russell Co, Vn "I had four doctois, and they said I could not be cuied. I had ulceration of womb and female weakness so I could not stand on my feet but a short time; had beailngdown sensation, pain In the small of my back. My stomach and bowels, also logs and feet, would swell, and everything I ate huit me. I could not sleep well, was so shot t of bieath I could not He down at night; had soieness nnd tenderness over womb, tioubled with palpitation of heart, and suffered with headache all the time. I would get blind and have fainting spells, had dark lings mound my eyes and my eyes seemed bloodshot; suffeied from painful menstruation . could not He on my left side. I would have numb spells, pains around my heart every morning, my lungs huit me a great deal and my shouldei s, too.. I would spit up blood nt times, memory wns pooi, hearing was bad, hands and feet wete cold nil the time, and I had chills and night-sweats. After the doctois said I could not be cuied I got hold of ono of Di. Pierce' Memorandum Hooks and lead about how he had cuied so many patients afflicted like I was, so 1 thought his medicine might help me. I wiote to Dr. Pleice for ndilce, nnd he sent me a veiy encouraging letter In reply, nd visinr me to take his -Fuvotlte In scription' and 'Golden Medical DIs coveiy' and his 'Pleasant Pellets.' I got two bottles and used these and felt much better. I sent nnd got six bot tles moie After I hud used four bot tles I broke out all over In sores I then quit taking the medicine and wrote to Dr. Pierce, and he advised me to still keep on taking his medi cine 1 dbl so and soon found It to be a great medicine, I can now woil; all dav and not feel tiled at night I can sleep all night and can eat any thing I want at nn time I can walk and go anvwhere I please. I teel bet ter than I ever did Can do all kinds of woik In the house and outdoors, too. I am sony I did not take Di Pleice's medicine when I 111 Ht began to have poor health. I could have saved what I paid to humbugs My friends say that I do not look Uko the same woman. When I commenced your medicine I only weighed one mil died pounds. Now I wciii ono hun- -g -f'fK --1 dred and forty. I take gieat pleasure! In recommending your remedies te suffeilng women, I thank you a thou and times for your good medicine and your kind advice. I used four bottle of the 'Golden Medical Discovery, four of "Favorite Prescription nnJ iwo vmis oi your 'rieusant l'oucis.' The cure of Mrs Davis otters a fVili example of what Dr Pierre's Favoilts Prescription has done and Is doing to make weak women strong. This Is r.ot an exceptional case It Is not a solltnrv case. In more than thirty yeais of practice Dr R V Pierce, chlei consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, ItuiTnlo, N. Y. has treated and cured more than half a million women Many of thes I'xpeilenced yeius of stiffening. They hnd siient large sums of money seek lug a cine In vnln. Dortots gave them up Yet Dr. Pleice's trentinciit cuied them; made them happy wives ond Joyful motheis.
