It la Itroac la the People That Are Hat Oaly Imitator, Bat flay Idea of Their Owe. The Japanese have so long been called "imitators" that the term gounds trite. Hut it ia one of thoae trite expressions of a half truth. Aa a matter of fact, says Anna X. Men- jamin, in Ainslee's. it ia impossible ' for a race which has such a strong I individuality to be merely imitative. Ita wonderful metamorphosis of the laat 30 yeara cannot be accounted for (by such a simple, statement. The Japanese imitate, yea; but what they imitate tiecomes a part of them, and aa it ia absorbed it ia adapted and I changed. How else could the country I through thousanda of year hatve re- rnained so almolutely different from every other country? Again and again it received impulses from Corea and China; it very shutting itself oil from the west was an individual acl which allowed strength. Its Una) frank admission that in many ways the west was anead of It requires quite aa much. I think of a "jlnrlk isha" man in Tokio who talked learn edly with one of -his paasengers on the. subject of history, literature, etc The man wag much impressed, and asked the coolie to leave his work and come to live In his house, where he might study. The eoolie thought a little while, und then replied that he could not because he would be obliged to give up bis Individuality As it was, nobody expected anything of him, and therefore he could live just aa he liked. It waa better so. 1 know also a talented artist who wai trained in the exquisite art'of block rutting for print. When the revo lution of lefts took away his employ ment, he found that he could no long er pursue bla calling nccorling to his old ideals, bather than give theae up, he decided to lie a boatman, and for years piled a crait, like a common eoolie, up and down the Sumiiia river. Then a publisher who recog;ii-d his talent made a place of responsibility for him in nis eHtabnahment, and the artist-bnutman returned to hia old work in the old way, his ideuls uu- dimmed. , ij.fj Iteneflt of Peeeraere.

There are times when a woman's condition is such that every pressure of the foot on the treadle of the sewing machine means sharp suffering. The typewriter, too, must keep ot her post even when the keys of tho machine blur into a confused blotch of black and white before her aching eyes, and every touch of her fingertips jars her nerves almost beyond endurance. It's the same with every kind of woman's work. There aro times when it can only be done at the expense of great Buffering. In such cases there is a strong temptation to spur the flagging energies by the use of a little stimulant, or to take some nerve-numbing drug to dull the present pain. Either practice is dangerous and may prove deadly. The need of the woman is not stimulation but strength, not to numb tho nerves but to nourish them. Dr. rierce's Favorite Prescription perfectly satisfies the need. It works wonders for weak, run-down, worn-out, over-worked women, whether they work at home or abroad, in factory or m office, school-room or store ; whether they eit all day at the sewing machine or at the typewriter. It contains no alcohol and is entirely free from opium, cocaine and all other narcotics. It is purely vegetable and a powerful invigorating tonic. It makes weak women strong and sick women well. It cures nervousness, backache, head ache, sleeplessness, mental anxiety, despondency and other maladies which are but the consequences of disease of the delicate womanly organism. , iwin; neie, ioj .ittiiiiva i'ji iiic is7llt-i. icvei.tii iiii, j medicine," writes Mrs. Nancy C. Dodd, of Red Top, Dallas Co., Mo. "I was not able to sit up all dav and had been sick atmut three months when I first wrote to you for advice. Had tried two different doctors but they failed to cure me. One said that I had nertteu Heart and stomach trouble lrom my mother. I had smothering El l(j biiu iiiiciT c.ciy sot e-ney -icmi nuui n. ixi pain ill Mis 01 head and my stomach would pain me after eating. I could eat nothing bin crackers and these would hurt -me. Had pain in right side; coiiiil not be moved without suffering excruciating pain. Life wns fast be coming a burden to me, as 1 ha i given up all hope of ever being better until death would end my sufferings. What I suffered, Isith in mind and body, cannot be imagined. Hut fur my unlxundl faith in God's goodness and mercy I doubt not 1 would have given up and died. I was so weak, nervous, and down-hearted, I thought I would have to leave my husband aud little ones. Never a night was I free from worry. Had female weakness, cold hands and feet. After spending; almost everything for doctor bills, and having read so much aliout Dr. Tierce's medicines, I concluded to try his 'Favorite Prescription.' Took two bottles und then wrote to Dr. Tierce for his advice. Got a prompt reply, advising me to take bis ' Golden Medical Discovery ' and ' Pleasant Pellets' nnd to use l)r S.nre's (Vinrrh Ncmedv Ioch'Hv f- inflammation of the uterus. I followed the directions given, and took nine ottles of the ' h'nvorite Prescription,' five of Hie 'Go! Jen Medical Discovery,' six vials of the 'Pleasant rellets, and used also one bottle of the ' Catarrh Remedy,' a9 directed. I improved fast while taking bis medicine. 1 can now do my own work for my family and bike ill sewing and any kind of work. My sister came to see rot; she said two years back she did not think I would ever be straight any more, that I was drawn over in my shoulders; but my shoulders are not drawn over now." " I take pleasure in writing to let vou know the great good I received from your 'Favorite Prescription ' nnd 'Pleasant Pellets,' " savs Mrs. Nora Gaddie, of Rio, Hart County, Ky. "I took seven or eight bottles o avorite Prescription ' and one or two vials of the ' Pellets.' 1 liink I would have lieen in m, grave had it not been for your medicines. Now I thank you a thousand times for your advice. It has lieen aliout four months since I took the medicine I was all run-down, had loss of appetite, could not sleep at night, was nervous, had backache, black SH)ts on my limbs, and sick headache all the time. I have not had sick headache since I took your medicine." Dr. rierce's Favorite Prescription establishes regularity, dries weakening drains, heals inflammation and ulceration and cures female weakness. It encourages the appetite, tratupiilizcs the nerves and induces refreshing sleep. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets should always be used with " Favorite Prescrip tion " whenever a laxative is required, as they assist the action of that remedy. They are small in size and easy and pleasant to take. Sick women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by lcttcr.ree. All letters are held as strictly private, and tho written confidences of women are guarded by the same strict professional privacy observed by Dr. Pierce and his staff in personal consul tations with weak und sick women, at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute liuffalo, N.
