When ill-health precedes maternity, death

neglected disease or weakness of the dis
tinctlv feminine organism during the period
preceding motherhood, she not only risks
her own life, but that of the unborn babe.
Thousands of women suffer in this way be-
cause their natural modesty will not permit
them to undergo the humiliating exaniina-
tions and local treatment upon which nearly
all physicians insist.
This is entirely unnecessary. An eminent
and skiliful specialist, DR.. R V. Pierce, for
thirty years chief consulting physician to
the Invalids' Hotel aud Surgical Institute,
at Buffalo, n. V, is the discoverer of a
wonderful medicine for all troubles of this
nature without recourse to obnoxious local
treatment The medicine is known as DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. 1t acts di-
rectly and only on the delicate and import
ant organs that make wifehood and mother
hood possible It makes them strong
elastic and healthy. 1t fits woman for
motherhood and makes baby's advent easy
and almost painless. An honest druggist
will not try to substitute all inferior remedy
for the sake of extra profit.

Bliss Friendship for a

SecFethfy BLISS FffPHNSHlp Tor a
Simon Pure Democrat.
The appointment of Supt, Hancock, Of
the Pension Bureau, to be chief Of the sta
tiOnery division is causing considerable
interested comment in the bureau, and in
the Interior Department. The promotion
was made by Secretary Bliss personally
and before his Pension Commissioner had
been appointed. a rather unusual thing in
itself. But an even more peculiar circum
stance is the fact that Mr.. Hancock is u
Democrat and silver man at that.
The reason of the interest that Secretary
Bliss takes in him is thought TO be that he
is brother of Gen Hancock, who was a
personal friend of Secretary Bliss.
Mr.. Hancock entered the Pension Office
as Waterman, and was promoted TO be
superintendent by Commissioner Murphy.
