HELP! HELP! THE LADY FAINTs.
"'Tis the twink Of an eye,
TITS the draught of breath,
From the blossom of health,
To the paleness of DEATH"


When sudden fainting spells como
upon lady, you may always suspect
some uterine disturbances or trouble. or
some great disorder in the circulation and
nerve centers. A remedy that has al
ways proved successful in warding off and
removing the tendency to recurrence OF
fainting spells-that removes the cause
of them, corrects the circulation of blood,
and gives to the system that even rum
ming nervous energy so essential, is DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
The Prescription " is guaranteed to
give satisfaction in every case, or money
refunded. Nothing else does as much.
You only pay for the good you get.
Can you ask more?
As regulator and promoter of func-
tional action, at the critical period Of
change from girlhood to womanhood,
"Favorite Prescription" is perfectly
safe remedial agent, and can produce
only good results. 1t is equally effica-
cious and valuable in its effects when
taken for those disorders and derange-
ments incident to that later and most
critical period, known as "The change
of Life"

The Marquis of Ailesbury, who is ap

sell his estates to Lord Iveagh for ESQ,
900, was better known to the public a,
Lord S~avesnake. The lands in question
came into possession of the family
through an ancestor who married the
heiress of one of the wealthy Seymours,
the Dukes of Somerset. One of the Sey-
mours had previously married a daugh-
ter of Sir William Sturmy, of Chatham
in Wiltshire, the male members of whose
family had been bailiffs of the Royal
Forest of Savernake since the days of
Henry IL. Tottenham Park, so long the
chief seat Of the Ailesburys, is situated
in Savernake forest.
As things go in these degenerate days

600 acres. The marquis reply, when
asked whether he had made any provi-
sion for the housing of the valuable heir
looms in the mansion-"Well, now it's a
very funny thing, but l only thought OF
that myself yesterday"-was just what
might have been expected from this sprig
of the aristocracy. His lordship has only
had the estate for some Eve years, and
