with some arrangement or irregularity in
the action of the organs distinctly feminine.
Neglect and wrong living will show them
selves first in the most delicate organs of
the whole body. With such weakness and
sickness so prevalent, it is to be expected
that the bearing of children would be
fraught with dread and danger. 1t should
not be So of course. Nature never meant
it to be so. The performance of the high
est function of which woman is capable
should not be accompanied by pain. If
perfectly natural living were the rule, it
would not be so. AS lives are lived, some
thing else must be done. A remedy must
be found. For over thirty years, Or. Pierce
has been chief consulting physician to the
1nvalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, of
Buffalo, N. Y. During that time he has
treated thousands of women. He has
found in his Favorite Prescription a
never-failing specific for female complaints.
1t strengthens the whole body and when
taken during CESSATION shortens the period
of labor and makes childbirth well-nigh
painless. 1t also promotes All abundant
secretion of uourishment for the child.

Beware
OF the knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfeld, Mo-,
writes: "For six years have been a
sufferer from scrofulous affection of
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, d. c.,
Springfield, ILL.,, and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After six
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to re-
moval of the gland. Atthis critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, be-
gan its use. Before had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had I only used your SIS. long ago,
I would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $3.50"
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. SIS. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root of
the disease and forces it out perma-
uently.

MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN.

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 14.-The local wheat
market opened higher this morning notwith-
standing lower cables from LIVERPOOL The
leWer cables were in part expected because
of our weakness of yesterday and the FACT
that Liverpool responded by very moderate
decline, considering the big advance of the
past week, the lower cables were actually in
terpreted as bullish-hence our strength The
early news received reported that the French
had practically bought all that they would
require for some months at least and that
there would be an immediate falling off in
the demand from that quarter, and that lull
in the foreign demand was sure About an
hour after the opening advices from Paris
were entirely different. Wheat at that cen
ter was reported to be 25 confines higher
and the market excited London cables quot
ed the cargo market as dull and inactive at
the advance scored yesterday. This is not to
be wondered at. Saturday Is always a ouiet
day in the trade. The clearances for the week
aggregated 4,460,079 bu, which was much
larger than expected and points to a good
sized decrease in the visible supply Monday
This was bull factor. Crop news from the
Northwest is growing more bullish daiIv. hut
we fear that many of these reports are
not to be relied upon. 1t is hardly conceiy-
able that the crop of the Northwest as a
whole has been damaged to the extent that
many reports would make US believe. It ia
Undoubtedly true that the crop will not be I'D
to the expectations of month ago. but that
does not mean that the entire crop is cut in
half The winter wheat reports of thrashing
returns are almost unanimous in stating that
the yield is greater than expected, and we
believe that the spring wheat area will have

destroyed and the physician can do nothina
