An interesting story is told of Lady
Helen de Hangest-Genlia, who started a
small pottery on her estate, chateau of
Oiron, about 1524. In this factory was
made the famous Faience d'Oironi She
was a widow, cultured and vervartistia
A collection of her crayon portraits is
said to have been preserved, but it was
in the manufacture of china that she
made a name for herself. Not more than
60 pieces of 'Faience d'Qiron are now
known to be in existence. All of them
are small, but of ; surpassing beauty.
They are supposed to have been made
as gifts for friends. , They have an inlaid
ornament of interlacing bands or scrolls,
arabesques and geometrical, forms of

THE LIII( THAT BINDS.
...
' " " Jacksow, Temm. , Nov. 23.
X was subject to miscarriage for three years,
and suffered constantly with backache. I wrote
to you (or advice, and after using three bottles
of Wine of Cardul, according to your directions, .
X am strong and well, and the mother of a fine
girl baby. . ; -' :
- 1 Mrs. E. 17. JOWEES. '
... There is no use talking a baby in the bouse is the link that binds
husband and wife together. Nothing is sadder than fruitless, wedlock. .
The prattling and cooing of the little ones offset a thousand times the
occasional worries and trials of life.. When a wife is barren, there is a
derangement somewhere in the genital organs, caused by one or more of
those common disorders known as female troubles". Wine of Cardui
is the remedy. It puts the organs of generation in a strong and healthy
condition, fitting the wife fr the sacred duty of reproducing her kind
During the period of gestation the entire system of the expectant mother '
' is built up to withstand the ordeal of labor, and when the little one
makes its advent it is lusty and
strong, well-fitted to grow to ma
turity in perfect health. The
mother, too, passes through the
trial with little pain and no dread.
Wine of Cardui is truly a wonder
