AN IMPORTANT /MITER
FROM NIAGARA FALLS.
Niagara Falls, Ont.—"1 was miserable,
tired out and dragging around. My lege
could acutely sup-
port me. My hus-
band had read
about `Favorite
Prescription' and
he got me to use it.
I used four bottles
and the results were
surprising. I got
stronger, was less
nervous, myappe-
tite improved and I
felt like a new per
son. It is the best
medicine for women I have ever' heard of."
Mas. A. C. BROWN, 39 Clifton Ave.,
Niagara Falls; Ont.
There is nothing that will bring com-
fort and renew hope to the invalid so
surely as good news. When the vital
forces are at a low ebb and everything
seems useless, a ray of joyand assur-
ance will stimulate the weary body to
new effort and energy. A letter from a
loved one has turned the tide in many a
siege of sickness.
Doctor Pierce, of 'he Invalids' Hotel,
Buffalo, N. Y., has good -news for every
suffering woman. Write hint to -day and
tell him your troubles, and he will send
you just the right advice to restore you
to health and bring back the roses to
your cheeks, ane: without charge. His
"Favorite Prescription" has been the
rescue of thousands of suffering women.
Many grateful patients have taken Dr.
Pierce's advice:
Mothers, if your daughters are weak,
lack ambition, are troubled with head-
aches, lassitude and are pale and sickly,
Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
just what they need to surely bring the
bloom of health to their cheeks and make
them strong and healthy.
It is not' a secret remedy because its
ingredients arerinted on wrapper.

THE TEETH AND PURE FOOD.
E DEMAND pure food. We insist that our factories for the
preparation of food shall work under clean conditions. We
have factory inspectors to see that food is properly prepared,
We have health inspectors whose zeal ensure us clean milk,
meat, bread, and butter. But what's the use if in the process of mastication '
the good food has to run the gauntlet of a foul mouth full of dirty, unsani-
tary, poison -laden teeth? How can a sound stomach remain sound if it has
to do the work of inefficient teeth? Or if it has to undo the damage
sustained in its mastication by pus -laden teeth? How does the pure food
label profit us if every crunch of the jaws grinds the food under a daily
pressure of 5,000 lbs. and introduces bacteria that turn a welcome guest into
a centre of infection?
Human life is a constant struggle with germ life. When the good
germs are overcome by the bad ones there is trouble for the chap in whose
body the warfare is carried, on. The condition of the mouth is often the
determining facts between health and illness. Decayed teeth aredue to the
chemical action which destroys the enamel and pits the limey structure of
the tooth. Bacteria grow in the cavity. Food accumulates and decom-
poses and soon the mouth becomes more unsanitary than any food which
enters it.
Oral hygiene means clean teeth and a clean mouth. It means intelli-
gent use of the tooth -brush; it means healthy gums. In infancy mother's
milk is the best air', . to sound teeth and a healthy mouth. Later whole
cereals, pure milk, fresh vegetables. and fruit are essentialfor normal
growth and perfect tooth structure.
In later life selected foods will do more to keep the mouth and teeth
in good condition. Food acids are the best cleansing agents. Grape juice,
orange juice, lemon juice, vinegars, and apples bathe the teeth with acids
that elean'and protect them. •A.n*,apple-eaten:in-the evening will mechani-
cally and chemically • clean the `'teeth and protect them from bacterial
ravages in`the„night when most damage is done.
Wbat profiteth the man that he gain the whole world yet lose his
health? Behold the spectacle of the business man who pursues wealth at
such a rapid pace that he must forsooth bolt his food, race from morning
to night to attain the rank of a millionaire, and then find that he cannot
eat a square meal because of the pangs of dyspepsia!
What .. more mournful than the results of intemperance either in: the
use of drinkor food? Naturalists tell us that long ago the prehistoric
waters were infested with -a species of enormous shark which;finally became
extinct by reason of the workings of its voracious appetite. Thus Nature
eliminates the overfed.
The desire for ease and a full diet is universal and is the great stimulus
of man and animals alike. When man .becomes greedy and takes more
ease, food, and drink than his share, Nature discards him. -,,
In the race for powerand place, for ease and relief from hunger,
man is apt to forget that sinless he is careful of his body he will soon be
made to suffer for tie infraction of Nature's inexorable physical law. With
the loss in body tone comes an equal loss in mental activity, and the brain,
which fora time was able to operate despite the complaints of an. overfed,
under -exercised, self -poisoned body, stops working,
The mortality rate for persons over 45 years of age is increasing: `-io •
many sons of fathers o.” our acquaintance who have lived tobe 70, 80, and
90 years of age, drop out at 45, 55, or 60? Lack of health -giving exercise,
too much. strong food, late dinners, lack of sleep, aver stimulation of alcohol,
the high pressure of the race for gold and position, with physical neglect,
tiring premature decay. The goal is reached, wealth is amassed,` honor,
position, and power are gained—and the man is on the downward grade.
The brilliant mind becomes clouded. The steady hand is no longer acuurate,
the eye is dimmed, and the final break-up cannot be long delayed. ' All of
this Was entirely preventable: '
