San FRANCISCO. Cal, Dec. A.
Annie Tormey, the widow Of an Irish
pioneer, who left nearly $500, 900 when
he died, three years ago, has just
filed an insolvency petition, showing
that she owes S179, 70l, which is more
than her assets. She lives at Pinole,
on the bay shore, twenty-tour miles
from here, with her three daughters.
Old Patrick Tormey did not allow his
wife or daughters to indulge in any
extravaganza, but as soon as he was
buried they started out to cut wide
social swarth. The mother was as
foolish as the girls, and proved q
banapza to dressmskers. They
thought nothing Of spending 81 900 or
S., 900 on one visit to this city, and
the result is that their bills for tinery
ran up about $40 900. Mrs. Tormey
was also inveigled into losing invest
ments, and one of her worst invest
ments was with Allegretti, the candy
maker, who has invented 8 process
for preserving fruit against decay.
Allegretti failed last week, and his
failure brought Mrs. Tormey's affairs
to climax. Mrs. Tormey's preferred
creditors are her three daughters, so
that the money lenders who aided
her in her endeavors to win social
place are likely to lose their money.

Worn and Wan and Weak and Weary

Ho! we women, worn and weary,
with wan faces and so indescribably
weak. Those distressing, dragging
down pains, and that constant weak
ness and wornness and WEAKNESS can
be cured. For all such sufferers, DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a
panacea of inestimable value. AS an
invigorating tonic, it imparts strength
to the whole system. For cover
worked" "worn-out," dibilitated
teachers, dressmakers, seamstresses,
"shop. girls" housekeepers, nursing
mothers, and feeble women generally
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
the greatest earthly boon, being un.
equaled as an appetizing cordial and
restorative tonic. AS a soothing and
strengthening nervine, "FavOrite
Prescription" is unequaled and in
valuable in allaying and subduing
nervous eXcitability, exhaustion,
prostration, hysteria, spasms and
other distressing, nervous symptoms
commonly attendant upon functional
and organic disease. 1t induces re-
freshing sleep and relieves mental
anxiety and dependency.

What They are Good For

Brandreth's pills are the best medi-
cine known.
First-They are purely vegetable, in
fact a medicated food.
Second-The same dose always pro-
duces the same effect. Other purga-
tives require increased doses and
finally cease acting.
Third-They purify the blood.
Fourth-They invigorate the diges-
ton and cleanse the stomach and
bowels.
Fifth-They stimulate the liver and
carry off vitiated bile and other de-
PRAYED secretions.
The first two or three doses tell the
story. The skin becomes clear, the
eye bright, the mind active, digestion
is restored, costiveness cured, the
animal vigor is recruited and all de-
cay arrested.
Brandreth's pills are sold in every
drug and medicine store, either plain
or sugar coated.
