generally absolutely unnecessary, and
there is seldom any reason why a woman
should submit to them. This statement
is made on the authority of DR.. R. V.
Pierce, an eminent specialist in the treat
ment of diseases of women. For thirty
years he has been the chief consulting
physician at the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y.
Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription
was designed for the cure of all dis
eases and disorders of the distinctly fem
mime organs. 1t has been successful,
even beyond the expectations of its dis
coverer. 1t acts directly on these deli
cate and sensitive organs, and brings
them back to perfect, vigorous health. It's
effect is almost immediate. It allays in
hammation, and stops unbearable, nerve
nagging pains, as we'll as unnatural,
facilitating drains on the system. 1t
corrects distressing and psinf1l irregu-
larities, and cures where doctors fail.
Every woman who would like to know the truth
about her own physiology in health and disease,
should have copy OF DR.. Pierce's Common Sense
Medical Adviser This remarkable book has over
1000 pages and is a complete medical library in
one volume 1t contains several chapters on the
reproductive physiology of woman, written in
plain language, and illustrated fully and very
carefully, Ii tells exactly what the Favorte Pre-
scription " will do for woman, and offers many
useful suggestions for the preservation of health.

ing the lead in the crusade, presided and j.

his life. to keep the paper afoat. He said the

organization Of anti-department store asso-
Citations in different parts Of the city, and
named committees to organize such associa-
tions in the following localities: Arlington
