be taken, and cure produced right in the
privacy of home. There is connected with
it none of the humiiiating examinations nd
"local treatment 81 generally insisted upon
by physicians. 1t is called Dr.. PieFce's
Favorite Prescription. II was discovered
by DR.. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting ply
sician and surgeon to the Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical InstituteIG Buffalo, y. Y, and
has been used by him in his practice for
more than thirty years. Thousands of bot
ties of it have been sold, and thousands of
women have found their health in its use.
1t operates directly ON the distinctly femi-
nine organs-subdues the irritation and in
fiammation that are always present when
they are diseased, stops the debilitadng
drainupon thesystem and purfies, strength
ems, and invigorates. Perhaps its time
of greatest usefulness is during the period
of CESSATION. 1t relieves. the morning sick
neSs'' and other discomfOrts of this most
trying period, and at the time OF parturition
brings safety and comparative painlessness.
Its effect on the health OF both mother and
child is astonishing to those who do not
know about it. 1t not only makes the CON-
ing of baby easy and safe, and almost
wholly painless, but renders the preceding
time much more comfortable-pract ctically
eliminates all danger, and greatly assists in
making the child healthy, happy and strong.
The only known medicine in the word
that thus fully relieves parturition of its
pains aud perils is Drs Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. The mothers system is also
so strengthened by the use of this in
vlgorating tonic and nerve food as to great
ly shorten the period OF confinement. An
abundant secretionLof nourishment for the
child is also thereby promoted.
If we all lived Just as nature intended
we should live, there would be little OR
no pain, worry or misfortune connected
with woman's most natural and import
ant function. But; living as we do, dis
regarding continually lb dress; diet and
duties the laws of Sealth, nature aud
common sense, it has devolved upon
science to supply a remedy. The first
physician in America to make a life spe
cialty of treating woman's peculiar all
ments aud the only physician to discover
a remedy for nearly all the pain and suf-
fering as well as the danger to both mother
and child attending delivery, was Dr.
Pierce. He and his staff of skilled spe-
cialists have successfully treated hundreds
Of thousands of women, and have dis
covered remedies that are founded upon
the laws Of common sense and act in ac-
cordance with the laws of nature. These
are happily combined in Dr. Pierce's Fa.
vorite Prescription.
Prospective mothers should know that
Nature never intended that woman should
be tortured in the performance Of her most
important and most natural function. IF
the coming Of baby be contemplated with
misgivings, worry and fear, instead of
joy and satisfaction, no mother can give
to her child the greatest of all inheritances-

SUING A PLUMBER.
Mrs. NJ wynne Wishes to Recover

Mrs. NJ Wynne Wishes to Recover
$3.50 on Contract
Mr.. j. Nolan, plumber, was sued yester-
day before Justice O'Neil by Mrs. NJ
Wynne, the owner of property at Nos.
917 Sixteenth and 1926 Seventeenth streets
northwest, for damage in the sum CT $3.50.
The suit is said to be the result OF the
performance OF contract by the de-
fendant. The circumstances as learned are
that in 1893 Mrs. Wynne received notice
from Plumbing Inspector Robinson that the
plumbing and drainage of the property
required remCdeling. The contract was
given to Mr.. Nolan, the amount paid being
$400. Last summer Mrs. Wynne was
again served with notice, calling attention
to the condition of the plumbing ard drain
age OF her property.
She gave the work to Mr.. T. Noonan
at $3.50. IT was at this time found, it is
claimed, that the first remodcling had not
been done according to the District regu-
latlons governing such work. For this
reason Mrs. Wynne is suing for $780, the
amount paid to Mr.. Noonan for the extra
or unnecessary work.
Mrs. Wynne was represented by B. S.
Minor and the defendant by John Rideout.
Judge O'Neil reserved his decision.

The MATRIMONIAL LOTTERY
How to Make a Game Of Certainty

Misfit Marriages Prevented, and
Health and Happiness
Assured

Novels generally prove that all narri-
ages are happy. The divorce courts tell
different story. Once in a while there
is novel that tells the truth. Then people
say 1T Is an unpleasant novel and they
don't read 1t. The novelists pictures OF
happiness frequently cause the most dis
tressing unhappness. Young men and
women go into the state OF matrimony
in b!issful and senseless ignorance of what
it really means. They have read the toy
stories OF the average novellsts, and they
believe that If they may only have the
partner of their choice that life will
thereafter be all roses and honey They
do not stop to find out whether or not
the object of their devotion is suited TO
them, either mentally or physically. In
