Thousands of men in lonely homes call
up the pictures of the loved and lost ones,
who might still be happy husbands with
healthy babies prattling at their knees, If
they had only been a little more observant
and thoughtful. When a woman's conf
plexion gets pale and sallow and her eyes
look heavy; when she is evidently nervous
and Respondent, and complains of pains
and aches and dragging down and burning
sensations; a wise man should know that
she is suffering from weakness or disease in
awomanly way. The thoughtful man who
realizes this will at once advise his wife to
consult some eminent and skillful special
LIST. He will know that the average physi-
clan will insist upon the obnoxious EXAM
nations and local treatment so embarrass-
ing to modest, sensitive INT He should
know that these ordeals are unnecessary.
DR.. r. V. Pierce is an eminent and skillful
specialist, who has been for thirty years
chief consulting physician to the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo,
N. Y. During that time, with the assist.
ance of a staff of able physicians, he has
prescribed for many thousands of wom-
en-. He Is the inventor of a wonderful
medicine for the special weaknesses of
women, that cures in the privacy of the
home. 1t is known as DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. 1t makes the delicate and
important organs that bear the burdens of
maternity strong, healthy and vigorous. It
corrects all irregularities and stops all de-
bilitating drains. Medicine dealers sell It
and have nothing Just as good"
W. r.. Malcolm, Esq, Of Knobel, Clay Co.,
Ark, writes: my wife for perhaps four mohths
previous to the birth Of our child took the Fa-
vorite Prescription. This strengthened her en-
tire system, and childbirth, to her, was very
easy, being attended with little pain. Our baby
Ruth Is IS months old and she has never been
sick a day"

Of LOCAL INTEREST.
The Information Supplied BY
This Barber Will Prove of
1nestimable Value i'm This
Vicinity.

When the striped pole or sign, which now
indicates a barber shop, was employed to let
the public know where cupping or blood
letting was professionally performed, close
SLAVES were a daily occurrence-not the easy
removal of the hirsute or hairy adornment
Of the head and face, but close shaves from
entering eternity. More than one %unfortu-
nate entered the barber-surgeon's doorway
to leave 1t a corpse or so weak that weeks
were required to get the victim of NAL
practice on his feet. Blood-letting was used
for everything from a heartache to a corn, and
a pain in the loins was invariably treated
with two incisions-one on each side of the
spine. Like plasters and liniments, these
helped from the counter irritation they
created, and we may presume that had Mr..
]. M. Townsend, head barber in Bliss
barber shop, in the Bank Building, Lebanon,
NH, lived in the time of George ILL.,, Of
England, in place of taking the course he did
a short time ago with his back, blood
letting would have been resorted to. Read
how he treated his trouble: "My kidneys
have been weak and sore ever since rails
ing a barn, when part Of the frame work fell
on mi and injured my back in some way.
There was a dull, aching pain over my loins,
especially if I over-exerted myself in any
way, or stopped or lifted. ] could not lie
on my back on account Of the pain, and a
urinary weakness, very annoying, followed.
I saw Doan's Kidney Pills advertised and so
well spoken Of by others that l got them at a
drug store. They helped the pain in my
back and relieved the urinary weakness. I
have no hesitation in recommending Doan's
Kidney Pills to any one as a good, reliable
kidney medicine"
Doan's Kidney Pills are for sale by all
dealers-price, 50 cents. Mailed by Foster
Milburn Co., Sole Agents for the United
States, Buffalo, N. Y.
Remember the name, "Doan's," and take
no substitute.

loss to us, both as a corps and asindividuals.
Resolved, That our heartfelt sympathy is
hereby extended to the husband, sons, and
all sorrowing friends and relatives OF our de-
ceased sister in the loss they have sustained,
and assure them of our faith that beyond the
valley OF the shadow of death there is reunion
that knows neither sorrow nor pain.
Resolved. That the charter of our corps be
draped with the insignia Of mourning for
thirty days, that these resolutions be spread
upon the records Of the corps, and q copy be
