a aoonaG1o acho can see.
She's the woman who gets well.
It's the woman who aoon't see and
won't believe who has to suffer.
And it's needless. There's a
medicine-a legitimate medicine -
that's made to stop wonan's suf-
fering and cure woman's ailments.
It's DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton. It's purely vegetable and
perfectly harmless "a powerful
general, as well as uterine, tonic
and nervine, imparting vigor and
strength to the whole system. For
periodical pains, weak back, bearing
down sensations, nervous prostra-
ton, and all female complaints"
it's positive remedy. 1t improves
digestion, enriches the blood, dispels
aches and pains, melancholy and
nervousness, brings refreshing sleep,
and restores health and strength.
No other medicine for women is
guaranteed, as this is. If it fails to
give satisfaction, in any case, the
money paid for it is refunded. You
pay only for the good you get. On
these terms it's the cheapest.
But more than that, it's the best.

about 40 per cent more than it is worth.

BUDA-PEsTH, May IA great sensa-
ton was caused to-day by an explosion in
Andrassy street, one Of the most fashion
able thoroughfares. As one of the electric
cars was moving along there was sudden
jar, followed by a terrific roar. The shock
was very great, and the people Ia the car
were terribly frightened. An investigation
showed the explosion to be caused by q
dynamite cartridge, concealed along the
rail in such a manner that the flange of one
of the wheels would explode it. Search
showed seven other cartridges placed along
side the rails, but in some manner they had
become misplaced. This is fortunate, for
had the cartridges exploded simultaneously
no doubt the car would have been blown to
pieces and many of the occupants killed
The wheel that struck the cartridge was
blown off the axle ana the bottom of the
car was badly shattered. Nearly all the
passengers were more or less severely
bruised, but none of the injuries proved
fatal
