insurgents had a formal agreement with
Rear Admiral Dewey whereby absolute

their assistance. When Agoncillo was asked
if the agreement was in writing he said:

as a grasping power, and felt that verbal
agreement was quite sufficient

"she comes from the past and re-visits
my ROOM
She looks as she did then, all beauty
and bloom,
So smiling and tender, so fresh and
so fair,
And yonder she sits in my cane
bottomed chair"
Many a man sits silent and alone In q
home of mourning and cOnjures up before
his eyes the face and form of the woman
who was once a loving wife and faithful
helpmate. In thousands of such cases the
wife might still be alive and well and
happy, had the man been not only good
husband but a wise adviser. Women
shrink from the ordeal of consulting a
physician. They shudder at the thought
of submitting to the obnoxious examine
tions insisted upon by most physicians.
In the majority Of cases they have none
of this hesitancy about consulting their
husbands. A wise man will understand at
once that troubles of this description will
soon break down awoman's general health.
He will understand that a specialist of emf
hence and world wide reputation should be
frankly consulted at once. DR.. r. V. Pierce,
for thirty years chief consulting physician
to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Insti-
tute, at Buffalo, N, Y, is one of the most
eminent and widely-known specialists in
the world. With the assistance of staff
of able physicians, he has prescribed for
many thousands of ailing women. He has
discovered a wonderful medicine for wo-
men, that may be used in the privacy of
their homes. It Is known as DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. 1t cures surely,
speedily and permanently, all weakness and
disease of the distinctly feminine organism.
1t ailays Inflammation, heals liberation,
