"Shut your mymm, opmn your mouth
mud mmm what luck will bring you."
The mother smiles at the childish
game, and doesn't realize that it is a
game she as a woman has perhaps
played far a great many years.
Many a woman is weak and sick,
nervous and discouraged. She suffers
from headache, backache and other ills.
She wants to be well, but all she does is
tto shut her eyes
and open her
mouth tor medi
cine and trust to
luck for results.
She "doctors"
month after
month, often
year after year,
in this same
blind ,hap-hazard
fashion, and re
ceives no perma
nent benefit.
Women take
Dr. Pierce's fa
vorite Prescrip
tion with their
eyes open to the
fact that it cures womanly ills. It cures
irregularity. It dries debilitating drains.
It heals inflammation and ulceration and
cures female weakness. There is no
trusting to luck by those who use
" Favorite Prescription."
"My disease was displacement and ulceration
of the uterus, and I was in a terrible condition
with pain and weakness and had given up all
hopes of ever being well again," writes Mrs.
Harry A. Brown, of Orouo. Penobscot Co.. Me.
" Had doctored with four different doctors with
in four months, and instead of getting better
was growing weaker all the time. I decided to
try your ' Favorite Prescription,' ' Golden Med
ical Discovery,' and ' Pleasant Pellets,' as I had
heard of the many cures resulting from their
use, X bought five bottles and felt so much bet
ter after taking them thit I kept on until I am
as well as ever in my life, and to Dr. Pierct all
the praise is due. I cannot say enough in favor
of his medicines. Before I began taking your
medicines I only weighed one hundred and
twenty pounds. I now weigh one hundred and
sixty pounds. I gained forty pounds in sir
months. I shall doctor no more with home
doctors, as it is only waste of money. lam now
in perfect health, thanks to Dr. Pierce." <
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets clear the
muddy complexion.

He T»ll» How Jonli Warner anil
Nnira Staimell'n Over u
Barrel of Cider Resulted In n Long
SlandlnK Feud That Had Xo Ending.
[Copyright, 1001, by C. B. Lewis.]
NOBODY could ever exactly fix
tbe date when tlie dispute be
tween Jonb Warner and Moses
Btansell originated, but It was gener
ally concluded that It lasted thirty
nine years before Providence put an
end to it. One fall evening, when Jer
icho consisted of only seven houses and
JOAB AND MOSES MET AT THE I'OSTOFFICE.
a huckleberry patch, Joab and Moses
met at the pustolHce, and after a little
talk Joab said:
"Moses, I'm told that you've got a
tolerable appetite for cider."
'•Yes, tolerable," admitted Moses.
"You alius lay in a bar'l for winter?"
"I surely do."
•'And what do you put into it to keep
it from gettin' hard and twangy?"
"I alius use a little peppermint."
"I've heard you did, and I'm goin' to
tell you of a better thing. Tut in sas
safras Instead of peppermint, and
you'll have a bar'l of cider equal to
champagne. You know how folks cry
for my cider along in the winter, and
It's the sassafras what does it."
"Sassafras couldn't beat peppermint,"
says Moses as he shakes his head.
"But It does beat it all holler," says
Joab. "You use it once, and >ou'll be
grateful to me all the rest of your life."
"I don't doubt you mean well, Joab,
but I shall stick to peppermint right
along. Sassafras root is a good thing
to chaw on, and I like the smell In h'ar
oil, but when it comes down to cider 1
peppermint's the only thing to use. You
put in three tablespoonfuls to the bar'l.
and the bar'l must be rolled over twice
a day."
"I'm givin' you sassafras, Moses."
"And I'm glvin' you peppermint.
Joab."
"Waal, I wouldn't give peppermint to
a grubby c^lf."
"And 1 wouldn't to an
allin' hog."
That was the beginning of- the dis
pute. They didn't lay hands on each
other, but they felt edgeways, and they
never met without bringing up the
question. They had it all to themselves
at first, but after a bit other folks were
dragged into it, and a good share of the
county was divided into "Peppermints"
and "Sassafrasers." Almost every night
In the year Joab and Moses met at the
postoffice, and after sort of elbowing
each other around for a spell Joab
would say:
"Why, hello, Moses, Is that you? I
thought I smelt peppermint around
here."
"And I smelt sassafras as soon as
you left home," Moses would reply.
"Still stickin' to it, are you, that pep
permint is the right thing to keep cider
from gettin' too hard?"
"I am, and I alius shall, and so would
any one else but a born fool."
There would be more to It, and a doz
en men would go over the question and
call each other fools and liars, and
the trouble kept spreading. It befit
Joab when lie ran for supervisor, and it
downed Mosas when he wanted to be a
deacon of his church. If a lightning
rod man or a tin peddler showed up
within ten miles of Jericho, they were
asked for their opinion on tbe cider
question, and the man who favored
peppermint couldn't do business with
the sassafrasers. Several preachers
tried tc smooth over the quarrel, but
when they went to Joab be said:
"I'm willin' enough to be friends with
Moses, but, durn his hide, he's got to
drop that peppermint business first."
Then they would go to Moses and
talk and argue and point out his duty,
but be would shake his head and reply:
"It's no use talkin' till Joab lets go of
sassafras. He's stickin' to it jest be
cause he's pigheaded and wants to
come out on top."
Tbe thing had been going on for
nearly forty years, and Joab and Moses
had got to be grandfathers and old
men, when they met at the postoffice
for the last time. Both were tottering
and feeble, and as they caught sight of
each other Joab called out:
"It's that blamed peppermint workin'
in your system, and I don't care bow
soon it takes you off."
"It's that sassafras in your blood,"
replied Hoses, "and your folks needn't
expect me to come to your funeral."
The next day both of them were in
bed, and after looking them over the
doctor said their time had come to go.
They lasted two weeks and died on the
same day. but before dying Joab said
to Moses: x
"I ain't got no pity for sich a critter.
If you'd used sassafras, you might
have lived to be a hundred years old."
When Moses received the message,
he braced up and sent back word:
"Nobody wants any pity from you.
If thar's cider in heaven, they'll use
peppermint to keep it from grovvin'
hard!" M. QUAD.
