1t is a sad commentary upon our boosted civiliza-
ton that the women of our times have degenerated
in health and physique until they literally race
OF inva1ds-pale, nervous, feeble and ack-achy,
with only here and there a few noble exceptions in
the persons OF the robust buxom ladies characters
tic OF the sex in days gone by Bya very large expe
rience, covering period of years. and embracing the
treatment OF many thousands of of those all
ments peculiar to Women, DIR. Pierce of the Worlds
Dispensary, Buffalo, N. Y, has perfected, by the
combination Of certain vegetable extracts, natural
specific, which he does not extol as a cure-all, but
one which admirably fulflls singeness of purpose,
being most positive and reliable remedy for those
weaknesses and complaints that alict the women of
the present day. This natural specific compound is
called DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. The fol-
lowing are among those diseases in which this WON
derfu medicine has worked cures as if by magic and
with certainty never before attained by any med-
cines: Weak back, nervous and general debility,
falling and other dspacements of internal organs,
resulting from debility and lack of strength in natur-
al supports, internal fever congestion Inflammation
and liberation and very many other chronic diseases
incident to women, not proper to mention here, in
which, as well as in the that have been enumer
ated, the Favorite Prescription effects cures-the
marvel of the world. 1t will not do harm in any
state condition of the system, and by adopting its
use the invalid lady may avoid that seyerest of
deals-the consulting of family physician. Favor
lite Prescription is sold by dealers in medicines gen.

pont denies that negotiations are progressing
between Lord Derby and himself regarding a
new extradition treaty. He says that the
United States took the view that Great Brit
aims action broke the treaty of 1912. Pres
dent Grants message was substantially based
on that assumption, and he relegated the cues
ton to Congress-
!, Great Britain, on the contrary, contends
that the treaty is unbroken, and that her action
is justified by its provisions. Until this con-
fiict of opinion is removed, negotiations are un-
likely to make progress, but whatever steps are
taken must necessarily proceed from Wash
iington. What, if anything Lord Deroy NAV
have received from the British minister at
Washington on the subject, Mr.. Pierrepont is
not informed.
He was asked what Lord Derby meant nv
saying that he hoped to establish provisional
arrangement to tide over the possibly lengthy
negotiations, to which he replied:
II was in the House of Lords and heard that
remark. think i! know what Lord Derby
meant, but that is for him to explain, not far
me. deny, however, that L am a party to
any negotiation, though of course 1 cannot saw
