Seemingly sane women are every day dragged down into an engulfing ocean of despair, because they try to fight disease without help. They wear their whole bodies out battling with some facilitating disease of the organs distinctly feminine. They become weak and pale and thin and worn, enduring martyrdom of pain.
 Help is at hand for those who choose to take 1t. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip- ton will infallibly cure womanly ills. It is designed for that purpose alone. It acts directly and quickly on the organs involved and restores them to health and vigor This is proven by the triumphant record of tens of thousands of cures. It is successful when all else has failed. Af- ter the abhorrent local treatments of the doctors have proven useless, the " Favor ite Prescription " does its marvellous work, bringing comfort and happiness. It is the one thing that can always be depended upon.
 Mrs. Eugene Stautzenberg, of No. -6o4 Walker Avenue Houston, Texas, writes With most thankful heart will tell you about the wonderful cure effected in the case of my mother She has been a perfect wreck for seven long years. No words can describe what she has suffered Could not sleep on account of severe pains To tell the She tried every doctor around here and spent hundreds of dollars without benefit After hear ing of your wonderful remedies wrote to you. My mother has taken six bottles of the Favorite Prescription and six of the Golden Medical Discovery and is now perfectly cured"

NEWS OF THE RAIL.

The rumors which are heard periodical ly concerning the Alabama Great South ern railroad are again being whispered about. This time it is said that the road will again be placed in the hands of the Queen and Crescent people, the same as it was before the Southern took charge of it. Dame Rumor, so often unreliable, seems to be cotrect, or, at least, partly so, this time.
 The Chattanooga Times of yesterday has this to say of the proposed changes on the Alabama Great Southern:
 Ut is again rumored in railway circles that the Alabam Great Southern rail- way is to be operated exclusive of the Southern railway system and that it will form a conjunction with the Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas Pacific railway.
 Whether there is anything in the story could not be learned definitely yes terday, but the facts will develop in a day or two. For the past few weeks the Southern system has made several moves which would indicate that the Alabama Great Southern railway was to be run separate from the Southern system.
 Frank s. Cannon, third vice-president and general manager of the Southern and Alabama Great Southern railroad has issued a circular under the caption of general order No. 1, aboliShing the offices superintendent of motive power, general roa dmaSter and superintendent of bridges and buildings of the Alabama Great Southern railroad, and placing the con- trol of these departments in the hands of Supt Wickersham, who will, as here tofore, report to MT. Vaughan, assistant superintendent, at Chattanooga. This practically places the entire control of the Alabama Great Southern railroad, with the exception of traffic and legal matters, in the hands of NIT. Vaughan, and means that much of the work hereto fore handled from Washington will be
