Three red squirrels make their home In the hollow of an elm tree at Stock- bridge, Mass. A little girl, who lives near the tree, goes out to it several times a day ami knocks on the trunk, and she makes a whirring noise at the same moment. Whether led to rospoml by the knocks or the whirring, the three squirrels come running down the trunk and, taking whatever food their little friend may otter, they skip hack to the crotch of the tree. At that point there is a sort of landing, and on the landing the squirrels sit while eating 4he food, which is mhinly in the form of nuts. “Tw o of them are very tame,” said the little girl recently, “but one is quite wild yet.” [ A n Indian fable.] Revenged.

In such a nervous condition the woman needs a building up of the entire system. It is useless to attempt the cure o f th e nerves while the cause of the nervous ness remains un cured. A very common cause of nervousness in women is a diseased condi tion of the delicate womanly organism. Dr. Pierce* Favorite Prescription cures womanly diseases and the nervousness which they cause. It changes irregularity to regular ity, dries the drains — which weaken women, heals inflammation and ulceration and cures female weakness. It is a perfect tonic and nervine, tranquilizing the nerves, promoting the appetite and in ducing refreshing sleep.
