Hert U caie of a very tharmlnp young woman of eentrtl Ohio, who had grace, beauty and lt to commend her. Just a she was budding into womanhood a cloud came to chtken her life, Her trouble weighed so heavily upon her that for a longtime she would not could not leave her houM'. She used to receive her friend stretched on a couch or leaning back in an invalid chair. And her friends were many. She was quoted as an example of Christian courage. She referred to her condition at "her cross," and everyone thought how brave and good she was to bear her burden with such fortitude. One by one her girl friends were joined to the men of their choice. She sent them all presents and received from each a piece of wedding cake, which she cried over a little, and didn't put under her pillow because it wasn't auv good for her to dream. No man could marry her. A life of solitary suffering was hers. Yet her sad smile only got brighter as her cross got heavier. One cliy a oung man found his way Into that home ; looking upon this girl, he loved her. And o he came often and she grew to look for him, and learned to lean on him, and dreamed the pretty dreams thr.t come to pure women whose hearts God has fasutoned Tor happy love. Jiut over all tne nifwnppl wfiktlo olifidnu of lif r rrns. ' . : . ct'- . . .. .. . " It could never be, never be 1 " She said li r.,..r n.,.1 n.,r ,-,; inmirnn I niirht as the fears sliooed down her face. I Then she got to saying " If it only could be-! If it only could be !" And she said this many tunes day and night. One day she lav on the sofa and began to say, "It shall be I " "it shall nr. 1" " I'll break this cross to pieces or I'll die trving." And then she looked around for help. And by chance or providence there came into her hands a book the book whose title and contents are referred to below. It appealed to her. Common sense was what she needed. She realised now that she hid eves, hands, organs, dimensions like her girl fiicnds, who wete matrons and mothers. She re alized that it was not common sense that she should be born to be crushed by her cross. Life, libertv and the pursuit of happiness were her inalienable rights and she wanted the full rights of her womanhood It was common sense she nccUeel. She had tried all the uncommon, extraordinary and ex- ftravagant forms of treatment, now she wanted less meeJicme ana more common sense. It was thus she began the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. The rest of the storv sounds like a fairy story. Hut it is only like a fairy story in that it ends amid the merry clang of marriage hells and with "they lived happy ever afterward." It seemed a miracle to her friends to see this limtyr, this pitieut cross bearer, get up from htr sofa and begin to live, It was more strange when she took to golf, and the wheel, and tennis, with all the ardot of one so long excluded from out door enjoyment And strangest of all that she bicanie the mother of healthy, happy chil dren. This is not a fairy story. It is not the storv of one person. It is the story of thousands of women. It is a composite picture in w hich one can trace face behind face, lined with suffering, channeled by tears. It is a storv as true as the parable of the Prodigal Son, which was not the story of one oung man but the story of the type which repeats itself generation after generation and is as common to Kurope as to Asia, to Africa as to Ametica l.S IT 'VOUR STORV?
