Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription

Is very strongly recommended by the Medical Faculty, and is largely prescribed among their female patients. It is worthy of all confidence, as may be seen from the following testimonial ::
 ATLANTA, H., July 14th, 1873. Dr. k. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.:
 Dear Sir'-I have not words to express my gratitude to yon for your advice and assistance in my case. There is not one who has used your medicines since they have been brought here but that can say with me they have been greatly benefited Since I have been so helped by its use, six or seven around me left off all doctors and other medicines, and now use it ill tseir families, after being cured of the same disease as mine. You do not know what won- der it created in our city by its restoring my sister wrote you about, for she had been under the care of three of our best doctors, but could not sit up but for few minutes at one time. begged of her to try your medicines, and be- fore she had used half of the bottles she could go all around the yard, and has now just come home from visit five miles away.

THE. DIPHTHERIA.
A Massachusetts .Physician's Treatment.

Massachusetts Phy ysician's Treatment.
 Diphtheria is disease very prevalent just now, says Dr. David Price, of Lev erett, Mass, in many towns in Franklin county, Mass. and it is proving very fatal. It is @ somewhat singular disease, and greatly dreaded. And why should 1t not be, when so often fatal Yet, after all, when taken early by skillful physi- clan 1t need not be much feared. The truth is, physicians are not often called soon enough, or until the disease is firm ly established in the system. Too late, is the verdict most often. When a case of diphtheria is known to occur physi- elan should at once be called. Do not wait and try domestic remedies. PAysi clans can manage the disease easily if called in season. Not one ill twenty need die if seen in season. At least this is my experience, I having treated the disease for thirty years and seldom lose a case if called i'll season.
 Diphtheria is very nearly related to scarlet fever. In fact one disease often merges into the other, or they some times occur in common None are proof against 1t. It attacks all classes of peo- pie. The hale and robust as we'll as the poor in health; No sanitary conditions will guard against it. It seems to attack all classes of people alike. But with the present skill of physicians, if called early the disease is not difficult to treat. At least this is my experience. I have no secrets. My plan of treatment is this. When called to a case, put my patients upon the following treatment:

 Then MT. Bergen and younger brother put on their clothes, took up their shot-g1ns, and hurried out to find one burglar dead and another dying. The dying burglar looked up at MT. Bergen, and gasped, " Whisky"

or the Pacific coast. His many friends will
.e glad to know that he was fully exonerated
rom the charges upon which the inquiry was
,ased, and restored to duty by direction of the
President. It seems that the gallant officer
vas the victim of false accusations, and has
been put to much trouble and expense, as
veil as loss of time by suspension from duty,
which was made by sort of official missionary,
Eho should have verified the accusations on
he spot before exercising his brief authority
@ the great detrimeEt of the officer and ex-
,ense to the Government. 1t is Q mistake that
inspectors and detectives are too apt to make,
hat they render no service equivalent to their
mileage and expenses unless they accuse some
official. The design of their Offices is to pre-
vent as well as detect fraud. When they make
their rounds and find everything correct, they
should congratulate themselves end the service
that their vigilance has produced the desired
effect. The weakness of human nature is
pretty sure to furnish them quite victims
enough for the display of their skill and eff
siency. If not, it is all the better for the
country.
