Dr.Pierce's S Favorite Prescription.

The term, however, Is but feeble expression
OF my high appreciation of its value, based upon
my own personal observation. As close OBJ
server have, while witnessing Its positive re.
suits in the few special diseases incident to the
separate organism of woman, singled it out as
the climax or cr0Wning gem OF my
medical career. On lbs merits, as posi-
tive, safe, and efectual remedy for this class
of diseases, and one that will, at all times and
under all circumstances, act kindly and IN har-
mony with the laws which govern the female
system, am willing to stake my reputation as
physician. Nay, even more, SO confident am |
that it will not disappoint the most ,sanguine
expectations of single invalid lady who uses u
for any of the ailments for which recommend 1t
that offer and sell it under A POSITIVE
GUARANTEE. If a beneficial effect ia not
experienced by the time two-thirds of the con.
tents of the bottle are used, will, on return OF
the bottle, two-thirds of the medicine having
been taken according to directions, and the case
being one for which l recommend 1t, promptly
refund the money, paid for 1t. HAD L not the
most perfect confidence in its virtues, could not
offer it rs do under these conditions; but nav
ing witnessed its truly miraculous cures in thou.
sands Of cases, feel warranted and
perfectly safe in risking both my
reputation and my money on tte
merits.
The following are among those diseases in
| which my Favorite Prescription has
| worked cures, as if by magic, and with GER
| tainty never before attained by any medclne;
Leucorrhea, Excessive Flowing, Painful
natural causes, Irregularities, Weak Back Pro-
!apsus, or falling of the Uterus Ant9yerslon and
Retroversion Bearing Down Sensations, Inter-
nal Heat Nervous Depression, Debility, Des'
| pondency, Threatened Miscarriage. Chronic
Congestion, Inflammation and liberation OF tho
Uterus, Impotency, Barrenness, or Sterihty, re-
| male Weakness, and very many other CHROME
diseases incident to woman not mentioned here.
| In ali affections Of this nature, my Favorite
Prescription works cures-the marvel OF
the world. This medicine @ 90 not eXtoi as a
ness Of purpose, being most perfect
specific in all chronic diseases OF the sexual sys-
TEN of woman. 1t will not disappolnt, nor VIII
| it do harm, in any state or condition.

A Spider CAPTURES a Snake.

There was remarkable sight 10 be
seen at the Woodbine Saloon of Mr.. ID.
G. Kearns, lately, at Natchez. Miss.
While one of the barkeepers was sitting
IN chair in a room in the rear of the
saloon, he happened TO notice under an
other chair small chicken snake.
with its head firmly held by a spider
web. He at first did not know what to
make of the sight, and looked around
the room to see whether there were any
other snakes there. After becoming
convinced that il was not a case of
" snakes in his boots" he proceeded 10
investigate the matter, and found that
the snake had been caught in the web of
small, ordinary red spider, not much
larger in body than a grain of corn
After watching the actions Of the spider
awhile, he found that ii was gradually
drawing the snake up from the floor to
the seat of the chair. The snake was
about eight inches long, and at late
hour in the evening, despite its desperate
struggles TO free itself from the meshes
of the spider, il had been drawn up
until about two inches only of its tail
remained on the floor.

Yellow Fever Incidents.

A Texas correspondent sends the fol-
lowing incidents Of the yellow fever
visitation of 1867: While pestilence
was raging in Galveston, DIR. Dowell
was in charge of the City Hospital
Although the situation was grave one.
not few ludicrous incidents occurred.
On one occasion a hack-driver named
Jenkins was brought in with the fever.
lie was out of his head. and the doctor
told him so. But the man wanted to 90
back to the city, and fell to cursing the
doctor because he would not let him.
He followed the doctor around, telling
him he intended to thrash, whip and
drub him severely if he ever caught
him out of the hospital jenkins re-
covered, and is now driving" in Phila-
delphia, but never molested the physi-
clan. On another occasion an old sailor
of great physical strength was admitted
with the fever on him. He became rag
ing delirious, and wanted to get up.
Nurses were scarce, ana, as it would
take anyhow four strong men to keen
him down on the mattresses, DIR. Doweil
ordered him to be tied down to the bed
stead with ropes. This was done, and
the surgeon proceeded on his rounds.
-Four or five hours afterward, Dr. Doweil
was out in the yard of the hospital, and
was astonished on seeing the sailor com
ing down stairs with his bed, mattresses.
blankets and quilts all securely tied on
his back.
Where are you going?" asked the
physician.
Up, town, your honor; it's too hot
for me here"
" You'll do no such thing" replied
tn" doctor, who ordered him tied down
again. They carried him up stairs and
harnessed him down tighter than ever.
But he began raving again, and taking
his bed on his back as before, rushed ont
on the porch, jumped to the ground,
struck his head against post, and,
strange to say, finally recovered, and is
now barman in Galveston.

LaMountain's Death.

Considerable has been said of late CON
corning the time, place and manner of
thc death of Prof. LaMountain. the
aeronaut. Notwithstanding IL has been
only about five years since his death oc.
CURED, and Notwithstanding the fact
that his death was simply horrible to
think OF and was given great publicity
at the time, scarcely any person could
remember it. This illustrates how
quickly important events even pas
from the minds of the people.
On the 4th of July, 1873, Prof, La
Mountain made an ascension from Ionia.
Mich. The arrangements of the ropes
before the balloon started were thought
to be wrong, but the professor thought
everything was all right. There was a
tremendous crowd present. Immedi-
ately after leaving theground the mouth
of the canvass began 10 flap around with
great violence. When half mile from
the earth, the balloon slipped between
the ropes and was instantly inverted.
The car and its occupant dropped like a
shot. With the most terrific velocity.
the unfortunate man descended cling
ing TO the basket. That he was con
scious was evident from his struggles
lie strove To raise the basket above him.
v ''NhNA1 hOplhB W use IL dS x parachute.
He succeeded in his object, but when
about one hundred feet high, he loosed
his hold, folded his hands and arms be-
fore his face, and, feet first, struck the
ground with a dull heavy thud. Then
eusued panic among the multitude
almost Undesirable. Woman tainted :;
men wept, and to add to the confusion,
the canvas came flying over the crowd
like huge bird. Some one cried to get
out of the way, as it would fall with
crushing force. At this general rush
was made for safety in which many were
injured and some for life.
LaMountain was crushed into a literal
pulp. Not a sign of motion of life was
visible when his body was reached
Medical examination disclosed the fact
that hardly a whole bone was left.
Many were ground and splintered to
powder His jaws fell upon his arms and
were pulverized. Where he struck
there was an indention made in the hard
gravel ground of several chimes deep.
The corpse was laid out in the Public
Square and was viewed by thousands.
