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.

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

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."
