Letter to C. N. Boyd, Butler, Pa. Dear Sir; You know chemistry. Lead and zinc is a better paint than lead alone or zinc alone. Lead chalks off; zinc peels off. Lead and zinc stay on, if properly ground. Devoe lead and zinc is the paint. It is ground line and thoroughly mixed A painter ought never to mix lead and zinc: it wants grinding; mixing isn't enough. A streak of lead and a streak of zinc is not lead and zinc. The cbjert in grinding D«voe is to grind the lead into the zinc and the zinc into the lend, which a painter can't do, with a stick in a tub. And yet lead and oil will wear longer with 580 or 30 per cent of zinc mixed in with it. even as painters do it But Devoe has lead ground.in with zinc. The lead is fine enongh, so is the zinc. The grinding is to grind the two into one. And grinding costs little or nothing done by machinery. Yours truly, Oil F. W. DKVOK & Co. P. S.—Patterson Bros, sell our paint in Butler.

CAMPBELL, fg Wk FORMERLY |Hf » Campbell fi Templetonl Wifehood as the Test of Womanhood. The Good Woman Who Makes a Bad Wife. Marriage was a serious thing to the grandparents and great grandparents of the present generation. No woman entered lightly upon wedlock. She knew that she was going to found a family, and that she must be equal to all the responsibilities of the position she assumed. She must be able to order her own household; to knit, sew, spin, make bread, butter, soap, candles, and indeed care for and clotne a whole family. She must not be craven when the whoop of the Indian warned of a dreadful danger. She must stand by her husband, gun in hand. How many women of to-day could undertake wifehood under 6uch condi tions? Few indeed. Not because the modern American woman lacks cour age, but because she lacks as a rule the physical health which is the indispensa ble qualification for a life such as was lived by the women of the past. That is why a good woman may be a bad wife. Virtue aud goodness are ex cellent things in women, but to guide a house and bear children demands above •11 sound physical health. WOMHN CONVICTS. To a great number of women the house they live in it almost on a par with a prison. It is prison-like in the monotonous regularity of dally duties; firison-like in the absence of all pleasure n what is done or joy in the doing. And the reason is to be found in womanly ill-liealth. Few women realize how iutimately the general health is re lated to the health of the delicate womanly organs. A woman may suffer with heart "trouble," disorders of kid neys, liver or stomach, or with nervous prostration as a result of a diseased con dition of the womauly organism. Many such women "doctor" for years for various diseases and wonder why they don't get better. They can't get better -until the womanly organism is entirely cured of its diseases. This is not theory. It is a statement of simple facta founded upon the testi mony of hundreds of thousands of women who have been cured of woman ly diseases by thp use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. They had been (ust "dragging around" for years, with hrobbing heads and ncliing bucks, nerv ous, dyspeptic, miserable. The once fresh colored cheeks had grown sallow, the eyes were dull, tbe body had lost its plumpness. They had in numerous Instances tried many doctors and medi- C. P.

At last some friend or neighbor who has personally proved the curative power of "Favorite Pre scription" recommends the use of this medicine and that in almost every case means another sick woman made well and strong. ASTONISHED THE DOCfto*. " When I first wrote to yon I did not think I could live till I could get an answer to my letter," says Mrs. Isaac S. Harris, of Gayville, Yankton Co., S. Dak. "At that time I did not tell you every thing. When I wrote you I had just got home from the Hospital at Minne apolis, Minn. Had been there one month. Could not see as I was bene fited any there, so I came home, thinking there was no help for me, and every one here said that I could not live. I would have sinking spells every day. Sometimes they would last an hour or more and I woifld. be so weak it seemed almost impossible for me to breathe at all. Had night - sweats for three months, and my clothes would be just as wet as could be. Had uterine trouble also till I thought I would lose my mind: also had licart trouble so badly I did not know what to do. I suffered ev erything one coula think of. We paid out so much money for doctoring, and there was nothing that did me any good till I con sented to try Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and ' Golden Medical Discov- I did not have any fajth in these medicines at all, but I am only too glad to say that in three days after taking the med icine I could see a change for the better. In a week I could sit up and then I commenced the treat ment for uterine trouble. In three weeks I was able to be around the house some. I have taken nearly twelve bottles of the medi cine and still continue to take it. I am getting better right along, can ride or walk anj- place. I can never praise your medicine enough. "The doctor here says that he never would have believed that your medicine could have done so much for any one if he had not seen what it has done for me. He also told me to keep on taking it, for he could not help me. I thank you a thousand times for your kind advice and for your medicine." SAFE AND BURS. Dr. Pierce'* Favorite Prescription is unrivaled as a safe and sure medicine for the cure of womanly diseases. It SRtfiblishes regularity, dries unhealthy rains, heals inflammation and ulcera tion and cures female weakness. It is the best preparative for motherhood, giving vigor to the body and buoyancy to the mind. It so strengthens tbe organs of maternity that it makes the baby's advent practically painless. As a tonic for nursing mothers it has no equal. It increases the nutritive secre tions and strengthens and nourishes both child and mother. Weak and sick women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce, by letter, fru. All correspondence strictly private and sacredly confidential. - Address Dr. Pierce, linffalo, N. Y. , Accept no substitute for " Favorite Prescription." There is nothing "just as good" for weak and sickly women. A WONDERFUL BOOK. Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser is a wonderful book, condens ing its it does into 100S large pages a mass of medical and hygienic informa tion invaluable to every woman. It is especially wonderful in that it is sent free to any woman on receipt of stamps to pay expense of mailing only.
