If this is true under most favorable condition, what hall be aid of those who suffer from womanly diseases, and who endure headache, backache, and ether pains day after day? No sick woman should neglect the means of cure sot womanly diseases offered in Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It' regulates the periods, dries enfeebling drains, heals inflammation and ulceration, and For many years there has bee a disposition on the part of the American people to disparage their own consular system and to laud those of other countries. However, conditions have greatly changed and our own methods in this particular are now being studied and copied by foreign governments, notably so by Germany. While the American representative abroad may not possess the; superficial diplomatic training of the consuls of some other nations, he has that well-trained and keen eye for business which has been a material help in- advancing our trade interests." There is not a. chance for an American product to fW a market, but what these active agents of our Government i at once report tl fact to the proper department, and public notice is given of the existing opportunity to those who are in a position to avail-themselves of it, The bepowdered and beribboned diplomat of fifty or even twenty-five years ago is a back number.

Conditions have changed, and' it is the man who is wide-awake to his country's commercial Interests who holds the right of way. American' consular" service is fast becoming the model of the world, for it Is like a trained army, devoting its energies and trains to the advancement of the nation's interests. There is not a contract of any magnitude wherein the American manufacturer has a chance to enter Into competition but the fact is made known, -while study is made of the products of other climes with a view to adopting them to our own country. It is diplomacy and business combined. It violates all the moss-grown traditions of statesmanship, but we have set the pace and the other powers are following in our lead.

Our representatives were at first scorned and ridiculed fo their trading instincts, but when the world got through with laughter it discovered to Its horror that our Consuls had it possible for the American manufacturers to enter every market on the globe ana get away with the cream of the business. We are now a billion dollar exporting nation, and this great aggregate is a monument to the zeal, enterprise and patriotism of our foreign representatives. Again has theworld become converted to Yankee ways, for it has had forcea upon Its consideration the fact that we are fast gathering in all the business worth having1, and that the only way to, compete with us Is by adopting our methods.
