arising from nervousness, or from digestive
disturbances. Nine cases in ten, her head
aches come from disorders peculiar to her
sex. 1t may show itself in the symptoms
which are characteristic of dozen dis

been treated for the wrong disorders. Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription was COM
pounded for the sole purpose of relieving
womankind of these ills and pains. Thous-
ands of women have testified that after
taking treatment from several physicians
without benefit, the "Favorite Prescrip'
ton cured them completely and quickly
1t has been used for over thirty years, and
has an unbroken record OF success. The

A. 10 Trimming Tires

Do not pump an old tire too hard. As
rule there is not much danger of q
rider being able TO accomplish this with
the small hand pump carried on a wheel
but when it comes to foot pumps il is
different. 1t should be borne In mind
that tires, when ridden for some time
are much more liable to damage than
when they are new, even assuming that
they have been taken care of. and the
moisture has not been allowed to pene
trate and rot the fabric. 1t is likely thai
the tire viii have been reduced ir
strength by wear. and some caution
must. therefore, be exercised. Any tire
is liable to burst if pumped hard after
being in cool place for some time and
lhen taken out and ridden under mid
hummer sun.
