THE FAMILY IN JAPAN.
Filial Piety and the Lnnglne lror Immor-
tallty Its GuhllliL- Mars.
In a recent lecturo Professor Kakichl
Mltsukurlof tho University of Tokyo gavo
n description of tho social lifo in his native
country, which differs materially from
many othor accounts. "Tho social unit In
Japan," ho said, "is tho family, each fam
ily having its olllclally reglstorou heau,
frequently tho wlfo. Occupations in all
olassos as n rulo uro handed down from
gonoratlon to generation, and it is a mat-
tor of fnmlly prido Mint that occupation
does not deteriorate. The works of an
cestors nro kept constantly beforo the fam
ily as sacred models, nnd tho result Is tho
inimitable beauty of Jupaneso productions.
Another interesting custom arising out of
tho treatment of the family us tho social
unit is seen in tho fact that tho head of tho
family always has tho snmo name and tbut
as each person succeods to tho dignity ho
changes his youthful namo to tho family
name.
Though this custom still survives in tho
country districts, thero Is no stagnation of
social nnd industrial types, it being now
within tho power of thnhumblosttorisu to
tho highest olllco in tho stato by merit
nlono. The first known ancestor is regard
ed as tho founder of tho family; tho names
of ancestors are kept on tablets in tho most
sacred place of tho house, whllo tho uunl
versarles of tho deaths of oncestors nro ob
served with more or less of religious cere
mony. Women nro hold in commendable
respect, whllo children nre treatod with
dcforeiico; they represent tho futuro gener
ations. Thero is n strong desire in the
mind of the father that tho memory of
thoso who hove gone beforo should bo kept
green; hence tho Idea of tho family as the
social unit Is kont un hy two luctors unai
piety and tho longing for immortality."

Those terrible
diz7y -.pells to
winch women
are subject are
due nine tittles
in ten lo some
weakness or
unhealthy con
dition of the
distinctly femi
nine organism.
The average
doctor in gen
eral practice
does not half
realize this.
He prescribes
some superfi
cial treatment
for headache or
dyspepsia or liver trouble without
suspecting the real cause of the
dUhculty.
A woman usually understands
what is the trouble but is loath to
undergo the mortifying and gen
erally useless"exaininatioiis" and
"local applications" on which the local
practitioner is almost sure to insist. But
there is a far more sensible alternative :
Any woman afflicted with a delicate weak
ness of this nature should seek the aid of
that marvelous "l'avorite 1'rescription "
invented by Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consult
ing physician of the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y.
In any case so obstinate as not to be
promptly cured by this great " Prescrip
tion" special advice for inexpensive home
treatment adapted to the individual case,
will be sent by Dr. Pierce to any one who
will address him by mail. All letters are
treated with the strictest privacy and never
printed except by the writer's special
request. Cases intrusted to his care are in
the hands of one who has a lifetime's ex
perience and who stands among the most
eminent of living specialists in this par
ticular field of practice
Every woman should possess a copy of
Dr. Pierce's famous thousaifd-page illus
trated volume, the Common Sense Medical
Adviser which has had a larger sale than
any medical book in any language. A
paper-bound copy will be sent absolutely
free on receipt of 21 one -cent stamps lo
pay the rast of mailing only. Address
World's Dispensary Medical Association,
Buffalo, N. Y., or send 31 stamps for cloth-
bound copy. A whole medical library m
one iooo-pagc volume.
