“Don’t Marry Him!”

“He is such a fickle, inconsistent fellow, you will never be happy with him,” said Esther’s friends when they learned of her engagement to a young man who bore the reputation of being a sad flirt Esther, however, knew that her lover had good qualities, and she was willing to take the risk. In nine cases out of ten it would have proved a mistake; but Esther was an uncommon girl, and to everv one’s surprise Fred made a model husband How was it? Well, Esther had a cheerful, sunny temper and a great deal of tact Then she enjoyed perfect health and was always so sweet, neat, and wholesome that Fred found his own home most pleasant, and his own wife more agreeable than any other being. As the years passed and he saw other women of Esthers age grow sickly, faded, and querulous, he realized more and more that he had “a jewel of a wifa ” Good health was half the secret of Esther’s success. She retained her vitality and good looks, because she warded off feminine weaknesses and ailments by the use of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription.
