On behalf of the newspapers of Califor- nia there will be presented to the Lezisla~ ture a bill making a very redical change in tne law of libel.

Man’s View Of Marriage. «IS MARRIAGE A_ FAILURE?” It is not uncommon for men to bewail the fact that marriage so seldom means 3 real companionship—that man and wife are separated by difference of taste, of mental outlook, of general interest in life. It is rhaps even more common to hear women lamed for what is called breach of contract in the marriage relation. If the wife be delicate, run-down, nervous and irritable, if her smile and her spirits have taken flight, it worries her husband as well as herself. Even worse symptoms may fol- low—the woman suffers from sleeplessness and fainting spells, her head is in a whirl, her back aches, and she has that awful crowding-down feeling in the abdomen. It depends on the woman whether she will permit these troubles to continue day by day leading to a life of misery. Thousands have been cured by taking Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, and why not you? A healthy woman is always interest- ing ; she passes for a beauty because she is happy, and her good spirits are contagious. Good nature goes with health ; irritability and peevishness with sickness. Those who suffer from the derangements, disorders and diseases of the sex should re- member that Dr. R.V.
