Nine women in ten have some trouble

symptoms that grow into health-wrecE-
ing disorders.
Over 80 years ago Dr. r. V Pierce, of
the Invalids Hotel and Surgical Institute,
of Buffalo, n. Y, saw the need OF some
simple, effective, and certain cure for so
called female complaint He was
then, as now, specialist in the diseases
OF women, and the result of his study and
experiments was the marvelously effcc-
tive remedy known all over the civilized
world as DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton. Ii cures where doctors have failed

by purifying and strengthening the or

II leaves the whole body in better con-

the local examinations and treatment so
abhorrent to every modest woman.

ADRIFT ON AN ICE FLoE.-A dis
patch from Bay City, Mich, says: "An
immense ice foe, containing all the
solid ice in Saginaw Bay, went out yes
terday carrying over two hundred fish
ermen. The ice began to break near
the shore at FIVE o'clock in the morning
aud the foe is now eight miles out in
the bay. About thirty five fishermen
from CITY had huts, near Neamquam
Point. and they were all carried out.
OF the two hundred and fifty fishermen
near Sebewaing some managed to gain
the shore before the ice left, but the
large majority were carried out. A
ropg southwest wind is blowing
Fishermen here are uneasy, but do not
anticipate that the men on the foe will
perish. They say the ice is too solid to
break up enough to admit of passage to
Lake Huron by the Charity Islands. Ii
the warm south wind continues for an
other day there will be but little chance
for their rescue"

table in a Market street restaurant

laid upon the table a silver dollar. Be
side it he placed a visiting card, with
round hole about half inch in diane
ter pierced through its center. Said
he: See the fat, white dollar? See
the little hole in the card? Bet you the
cigars | can push the big dollar
through the little hole" I'll go YOU"
said one of his companions; but, re-
member, you are to push that dollar
through that hole without enlarging
the hole That's what" responded
the proposer of the feat. Laying the
dollar fiat on the table he held the
card on edge just behind it. Then he
produced a pencil which he showed
through the hole in the card until it
touched the edge of the coin. push
ing the dollar-through the hole, see -
Here comes Jonesey,'' said the loser.
Lend me your dollar and your funny
card and I'll get revenge. Oh, / won't

daverous young fellow, with a yacJlorls
expression, drifted into the vacant
place at the table,. ''Jonesey," said the
loser of the cigars, "here'S a bic dollar
and here's little round hole in a card
Bet YOU | can put the dollar through
the hole just as it it-loser to pay all

Jonesey. The other proceeded to re-
