"I'm through , " said the book agent wenrll ) , to n Now York Telegraph reporter "I've notified the house that It may no longer expect mo to risk my life handling Its goods Tor the last thirty days I have been touring the state with a universal compendium of knowledge , containing first aids for the wounded , treatment foi snake bites , how to bring a drowned man to , and a thousand and one other things that over ) man should know , bound In calf and sold at a price within the roach of all. I trav eled on my wheel and that enabled me not only to work the small towns , but the sur rounding country as well One da ) I chanced to call upon an old faimer. I tried lo tpt him Interested In the great vvoik that 1 was handling , but without success until I showed him the chapter on drowning , then I saw that I had him. There was a small lake near where the bos went swimming and the old man lived In fear that some one would get drowned. "Well , when 1 showed him how full ) thn book treated the subject I made a sale It was n hot day , so I accepted an Invitation from the old man's eons to go in swimming with them. I was hardly In the water when I was seized with n cramp I shipped a good deal of water , but I managed to reach the shore without much trouble , although I was greatly exhausted. While I was gaspIng - Ing for breath the old man came running up with the book that I had sold him rinding the chapter on drowning he read the directions to his sons and told them to go ahead. Before 1 knew what was going to happen 1 was seized by two of his husky sons and hung up by the heels and pounded on the back until all the breath was knocked out of me Then I was rolled over a barrel nnd pounded again ; then a bellows was Jammed down my throat and I was pumped so full of wind that I thought I would burst. They tried every fool Idea tint was In the book nnd U was only owing to a sound constitution that I lived through it. I'm through ! I can't afford to take the chances that are In the business. " Doll 1'nrUoN. It Is astonishing how swiftly the woid is now being passed around that dolls' parties are the desideratum of every child's heart. The Idea of having a party for themselves and being pampered with swentmcots Is no longer entertained. Ten das before the party Is to como off llttlo notes are sent out to a selected com pany They are written by the child and worded something as follows "Dear Ruth Clarissa Louise hopes very much that you will come to h"i party on Saturday afternoon , at half after four o'clock. She also expects ) ou to bring with you ) our pet doll Affectionately , " " "ELEANOR Ruth then sends promptly a reply to Eleanor , In which she thanks her for her remembrance and assures her that Antoin ette will bo most happy to go to see Clarissa Louise on the mentioned da ) When the llttlo people begin to arriveall the dolls of the hostess are found to be washed and freshly gowned and ready to receive them. Usually n goodly company of china-eyed beauties Is soon gathered to gether Often the spirit of ilvalry is de tected in their gowns , which not infio- quently proclaim that they ale miniature models from P.aqtiln or Worth Hut age , sex and oven color Is notably a matter of In- Sympatliy may help a wounded heart but it won't heal a wounded limb. That fact is so obvious that you won der why any one can offer "sympathy " as the chief feature of treatment for the delicate diseases of women , Yet women ore invited to "write ton. woman who can sympathize with woman , " and the theme of their corresiwndcncc is to be the delicate , difficult and dangerous diseases which undermine n woman's health nnd strength It is true that such offers are combined with an offer of "medical advice " Hut medical ndvice can only be given by n competent phj sician , and no mention is made in such offers of a physician's or tloctor's nth ice. It is not offered because jt cannot be given. The offer is not being made by a qualified phjsician. The offer of free consultation by letter , made to ruling women by Doctor K V. Pierce , has behind it a physician's abil ity. Dr. I'ierce is ronsultim ; physician of the Invalids' Hotel and burj'ical In stitute , lluffnlo , N Y Associated vuth Dr I'icrce is a staff of nearly n score of physicians , each man a specialist. In n practice pf over thirty j cat's Dr Pierce and his staff have treated successfully more than half a million women , who have been cured of debihtatuiK drains , inflammations , ulceratioiif. nnd female troubles The age , experience and skill of Dr. I'ierce give htm a supreme ad vantage in his cho-en field of diseases of tvomcn. You can wnte to Dr. I'ierce without fear nnd without fee.
