But when physical weakness or disease is
added to a womar's burden it becomes al
together too heavy. No woman can be
cheerful or hopeful who is dragged down
by continual pain and physical wretch
edness
The special weaknesses peculiar to the
feminine organism are comparatively easy
to overcome if the earlier symptoms are
given proper attention. But if allowed to
go unchecked they are liable to develop
into serious chronic complications.
Any woman afflicted with these delicate
ailments ought to have the immediate aid
of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. II is
a perfect and unfailing specific for all dis
eases of the feminine organs. 1t was de-
vised for this one purpose, and accomp-
fishes this purpose as no other medicine
has ever done
For nearly 80 years DR.. Pierce has been
chief consulting physician of the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo,
n. Y, where in injunction with his staff
Of associate specialists, he has successfully
treated many thousand cases of female
complaint"
No physician living has had a more ex-
ended opportunity to study this class of
diseases in actual practice. No medicine
tver invented has done for women what his
Favorite Prescription " has.

N1cKEL-N-rHE-sLor MACHINES
Another Crusade Started Against
Them by Chief Glass

Another crusade is to be started by
the police department against the
nickel-in-the-slot machines kept in
many Of the saloons and cigar stands
around town, which pay the winnings
in money. The card machines and 9TH
ers on which the winnings are paid in
cigars and drinks are not to be molest-
ed, as the rights of their owners to op-
crate them have already been vindicated
in the courts.
Several months ago Chief Glass start
ed a crusade against the nickel-in- the
slot machines, with the result that an
order of the court was secured defining
what machines were run in conflict with
the statutes. The decision was given
by Judge Morrison. who held that all
card machines and others where the
winnings were paid in drinks were legal
and might be maintained without being
in conflict with the law. The others
where the player stands show of win
ming a number Of nickels after a certain
percentage has dropped down the back
way for the man who is keeping the
machine, were held to be illegal, the
same as any other percentage game.
As soon az the decision was given
the proprietors Of percentage machines
were notified that they must do away
with them. A large number obeyed the
order. while others paid no attention to
it. No arrests were made under the de-
cision, and as soon as it was seen that
certain once disregarded the. order and
continued to run their machines with
impunity others began to set them up,
and, as they are a profitable source of
remuneration, crop Of percentage ma
chimes has again blossoped forth all
over the city and have been openly rur
in violation of the law. Chief Glass
attention was again brought to the mat
ter. and yesterday the proprietors of
the percentage machines were once
more ordered to close them up and in
formed that an immediate arrest will
follow any failure to comply with the
law in the matter
