THEATRICAL. "On tho Wabash." At the Lyceum last night Joseph Arthur's five act comedy drama. "On the Wabash," was presentc' lis a very clever and evenly balanced company.

They were very faith fully presented by the members ot the company. "On the Wabash" has Its hero and heroine, and, of course, Its villain, no comedy drama could well be con structed without them, but notwith standing the villain there Is a quiet peaceful atmosphere to the drama that Is delightful. Tho drama Is superbly staged, the view of the Intel lor of the town hnll of Ilapture and tho flag falsing being n particularly effective set.

THE BABY A Burden or a BIe3sing When tho baby comes Into the house It comes as 11 burden or a blessing, If It Is weak and sickly It becomes a bur den for the mother by day nnd night. If It Is n Rtrong baby, bright and healthy It becomes a mutual Joy to Its parents und binds them closer to gether In affection. There I no question as to the deslr ablllty of a healthy baby, whose win ning wnys and merry prattle bring a new element of Joy Into tho home life Hvery woman deslies to have healthy, happy children. The reason that so many women fall to realize this desire Is because they do not understand tho Intimate relation between their own health and that of the child which It born to them. To paraphrazo a line of a familiar poem, It might be said to mothers: "Laugh, and the child laughs wltn vou." The childish moanlngs and crylngs are only echoes of tho mothet's feelings dining that anxious time of waiting when, weak and suffering she sin Inks from the coming hour of hei tilal Motherhood larely finds a woman rcadv The Bab) a Bin den for the great change which the func tion entails. At this time- she shoul I be at her best Every force of nature should rally to her support Sh" should be strong In body, cheerful In mind. There should be always a smile on her lips and a song in her heart as she- thinks that she is to be of those who aio "blessed among women." But as a general thing motherhood finds woman at her worst Instead of at her best She Is weak of body, despondent nf mind nnd her henrt Is full of anxious forebodings of the futuie. Under pioper conditions every moth er mav have healthy chlldien These conditions have been realized by many mothers who have used Dr. Plerce'l Favorite Prescription. "A BIG, STRONG BABY" "I am so thankiil for what Docto." Pierce's Favorite Prcsrlptlon has tloiu for me." writes Mrs. John T Smith, of Slocan, B C, Box 50 "It helped m through the trying months preceding the birth of my baby. I have a big stiong baby git I, the most healthy rf all my tluee, antl tho 'Prescription' cured me of a disease which was tak ing away all my strength" It Is often said Jestingly, that the Im portant part of a woman's letter Is contained In a postscript. It Is ce-- talnly true ot Mis. Smith's letter that the last sentence Is the most Important from a medical point of view. "It cured me of a disease that was taking away all my strength " The help tim ing "the trying months preceding the birth of my baby," antl the "big. stiong baby girl" are consequences nf th" cure of the strength draining disease There aie thousands of women whos strength Is being drained by disease, who never icalUe how great that dialn Is until they begin to live for two in stead of one Theie are thousands of wenk mothers of fretful children, who will novel know- hnpolness In matern ity or bring Into the worltl healthv chlldien until the diseases which drain the strength are stopped They can be stopped by the use of Dr Pierce's Fa vorite Prescription This Is a woman's medicine. It Is not a cure-all, but It Is designed solely to cure those diseases w hlch are peculiar to women In the cure of these diseases It Is without a rival It regulates the periods, dries disagreeable and weakening drain i, heals Inflammation and ulceration and cures female weakness. It makes childbirth practically painless nnd gives strength to nursing mothers. "I wish to extend my most heartfelt thanks for the benefit your medicine has been to me," writes Mrs. Charles Leray, nf Unlonville, Tuscola Co , Mich "I hod what the doctors called Inflammation of the ovaries; there was pus formed In the fallopian tubes. Once or twice a year I would have a spell of sickness lasting about two months; very severe pains in my sides, over the ovaries, and down the upper- pait of my limbs to the knees, It seemed as If the flesh would come off. and accompanied by seveto vomiting and nose-bleed I was not able to do my work I was so sote across the abdomen if I stepped down quickly It almost killed me Could not keep hardly anything on my stomach any of the time. "I was examined by our home phy sician, nlso one In Toledo, Ohio, and they all Fald I would have to have the ovaries removed. In June, 1S0S, I went fioni Toledo to Battle Creek, to tho Advent Sanltailum. and was examine 1 by Doctors Kellogg and Wlnegar. and they advised an operation. I took treat ment there for ten wepks; local and bathroom treatment, such as electric baths, hot fomentations, etc I Im proved some and returned horn the first of September, nnd commenced doinsr my house work. I began to get worse again. I then got one bottle each of Dr Pierce's Favorite Prescilptlon. and 'Golden Medical Discovery ' When I commenced taking them I weight-J IOC pounds, before I had taken one t n tle of each I Improved so much that P encouraged me I kept right on. I have taken eight bottles of 'Favorlto Prescription' and two of the 'Golden Medical Dlscoveiy,' and haven't had any pain since Mai eh I feel perfectly well. Have not the least pain In my sides nnd no trouble with my stomach whatever. I now welch 135 pounds I have had better health tho past winter and spring than ovpi- before In my life of 22 yeais This troublo had botheivd me some for eight yeais. but got worse In the Inst four years. Before I be gan these medicines I wrote to Dr. Pierce and tecelved a prompt rep'v advising mo to try his medicines I eninestly thank God that I toak h'fl advice, and I highly iecomni'pil Di Pierce's medicines to all suffering wo men." HOPE FOR EVERY WOMAN. The encouraging featurp of su'h tes- J tlmony us that of Mrs, Leary Is this: It gives hope to even the worst suf ferers from diseases peculiar to woman. It shows once moio what has been proved In thousands of cases, that when mcdlcnl skill has been exhausted and all other medicines have failed, "Favorite Prescription" has wrought n pet feet nnd permanent cure. Many women w ho see th" advcrtlfe ment of Dr. Plere's Favorlto Prescrip tion, pass It by as being only opp of a grent clars of medicines offered tor woman's use. They read Dr. Pierce's offer of free consultation by letter, and associate It with the common offer ot free medical advice made In connection with the advertisements of other medi cines This fact needs to be Impressed on every woman, that Dr. Plcrco'e Fa vorite Prescription, by reason of lt long nnd wondeiful record of cures of diseases of women, stands sepa'ate and apart from all other medicines pre pared for woman's use. It does net merely palliate. It does not numb tha feellnRs by stuplfylng narcotics. II positively cures disease. It cuts per fectly and permanently. It cuies when t-thwr medicines have absolute' failed and doctors pioved entirely helpless. No othei medicines has so great a rec-o-.i. The free consultation by letter of. feietl by Dr It V. Pierce, Is nlso be yond comparison In Its value and ad vantages ovei the offers of free medi cal advice made bv men or women w Ithout medical education, without medical experience nnd without tlu professional or legal right to give medical ail vice Thete Is no other of fei of fie-e medical advice which has behind It a. sanitarium of national Im poitauee such as the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute of Buffalo, N.
