DAILY HEALTH TALKS The Many Mysteries of Nature BY L. W. BOWER, M. D. You can take an onion seed and a pansy seed, and plant them side by side in the same spot of ground. In one case, you get an onion, with its peculiarly strong odor, and'in the other you get a flower of rare beauty. You can plant a poppy seed and get opium (a dangerous, habit-forming drug), or you can plant a rhubarb seed and get some thing that helps constipation. No scientist living or dead, can explain these mysteries of Nature. Behind the invisible life germ in each seed is hidden the deep secret that nobody understands. Everything growing out of the ground seems intended for some use in establishing natural conditions. Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., long since found out what is naturally best for women's diseases. He learned it all through treating thousands of cases. The result of his studies was a medicine called Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. This medicine is made of vegetable growths that nature surely Intended for backache, headache, weakening drains, bearing-down pains, period ical Irregularities, pelvic Inflamma tions and for the many disorders common to women in all ages of life. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is made of lady's slipper root, black cohosh root, unicorn root, blue cohosh root and Oregon grape root. Women who take this standard remedy know that in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription they are get ting a safe woman's tonic so good that druggists everywhere sell it. Favorite Prescription should have the full confidence of every woman in America because it contains no alcohol and no narcotic. Dr. Pierce knew, when he first made this standard medicine, that whisky and morphine are injurious, and so he has always kept them out of his remedies. Send 10c to Dr.-Pierce's Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y„ for trial pkg. Tablets.

Saturday night, and when William Kent began cutting up on the atage, laughed so hard his teeth fell out and struck a naval officer in the aecond row on the arm. The naval man sub dued them and turned them in at the box office. It is believed they belong to a white-haired man who went to the box office later and tried to say some thing. However, all be could do was whistle, and the treasurer never did loam what he wanted.—H. Y. World, £•3l-19.
