What Everybody says must be True"

The incontrovertible testimony offered by
those who have use DR.. Pierces Favorite
Prescription induced the doctor to sell it under
positive guarantee. Many ladies have
RETAINED from using it on account OF a general
feeling OF prejudice against advertised medi-
cines Let me ask question. Are you pre-
JUDGED against sewing machines because you
have seen them advertised. or can YOU doubt
the ingenuity and skill required in their
invention. Again. would YOU refuse to insure
your house because the company advertised
hat it had paid millions in losses and vet had
capital OF several millionst Do such adver-
tisements shake your confidence, and create
preiudices. Then nv refuse to credit the
testimony OF those who have found the
Favorite Prescription to be all that Is claimed
for it i'll overcoming those ailments peculiar
to YOUR sex. Why submit to the use OF harsh,
and perhaps caustic treatment thus aggrava-
ting your malady. when relief is guaranteed
and positive, perfect. and permanent cure has
been effected in thousands of cases.

THE SETTLERS TESTIMONY.

In his recent lecture on temper
ance Father Brady, of the Order of
of Paulists, spoke OF the order of
things he found prevailing among the
Irish settlers i'll the wild woods of
Minnesota, who have hewed their
way to independence there. ''They
would tell you,'' said Father Brady,
THAT they are more independent,
more happy than the president of the
United States; that they had every
thing they needed: that they wanted
for nothing at all: and they would
ascribe it all to temperance. Many a
time | have met some of the old set
tiers, shaken them by the hand. and
asked them how long they had been
in the woods. Some would tell me
eight years; some more. would say:
.'Well. my dear friend. I am glad to
see you doing SO finely: you are get
| ting along wonderfully we'll: your
children are good: YOU have a COM
| Portable homestead. and you are hap
py and contented. Yes. father,

to my house. and God has blessed me;

virtuous. and am Il happy and con-
tented man. and l owe it all to this
great virtue of temperance. Oh. if

give up this debasing vice of drunk.

place; how the young men would grow
up in virtue and prosperity; how the
old men would go down to their

would honor and respect the Irish

places where temperance prevails
