ties as shall fail upon them"
What tselfrenunciation and heroic purpose
was this! They drowned witches to be sure,
but that was no part Of their puritanism. It
is to the puritan women we owe so much for
that spirit in our people which gives them
the fortitude to endure hardship and stake
life and fortune for their convictions.
The American women of to-day have the
spirit Of their puritan mothers, but their
constitutions are not rugged or able to en-
dure half the hardships Of these New Eng
land ancestors. Very often they are run
down with weaknesses and irregularities
peculiar to their sex, and the constant drain
upon their vitality makes them chronic in
valids. Many women hesitate to go to
their family physician, because they dread
the local examinations so generally insisted
upon by practitioners.
Such women should write DR.. R. "
Pierce, chief consulting physician of the
Invalids' Hotel, and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, N Y, giving a full description of
their symptoms, history, etc, so that he
can give them the best possible medical
advice. If DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
tion seems to suit the case the Doctor will
say so. If not, then he will give medical
advice which will put such women on the
rapid road to recovery and health,

The county commissioners made the
levy Of taxes for the current year Tues
day. Altogether it shows a handsome
decrease. There is decrease Of two
tenthS mills in the delinquents state tax,
one mill in tbe'cOunty bond interest tax,
and two mills in the county general
tax. If these figures are sufficient to
run the county through without any
deficit, it will show some saving. How
ever there are several quite heavy
items of expense this year that will be
materially cut. For example, the
election this fall will be greatly re
duced in expense. Then there are
court cases which run high and low by
fits and starts and may cost the county
much in the course Of year or little.
Nevertheless the tax payers will hail
any decrease with pleasure whatever
the cause.
