 The above is from the New York Journal of the 15th inst. Had these checks been perforated the checks could not nave been raised. Protect your bank account by ordering an indellible check perforatOr from Geo. H. Adams. Price only $5.O0.

When a young woman sits down and ponders over her future life, there is one all-important subject which she should not forget. In a day dream she may build castles in the airwith happy home, laugh ing children and a loving husband in the foreground. At that moment she may be facing death. Matrimony and motherhood hold out no happiness to the young woman who suffers from weakness and disease of the distinctly feminine organism. The wo- man who suffers in this way will be weak, nervous, sickly, petulant wife, an incapable mother and an unamiable hostess. Not knowing the truth, her acquaintances will not understand that she is deserving of pity rather than reproach..
 Any woman may be strong and healthy in a womanly way if she will use the right remedy Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the best of all medicines for weak and ailing women. It acts directly on the de- hcate and important organs that make wife hood and motherhood possible. It makes them strong, healthy and vigorous. It banishes the dangers that surround ma ternity. It insures healthy baby and an ample supply of nourishment. Thousands of women who were weak, sick1y, nervous invalids, are now healthy, robust wives and competent mothers of healthy children, as the result of the use of this medicine.
 Mrs. John M. Conk1in of Patterson, Putnam O., N. Y., (Box Io4), writes: II am enjoying PeyJect health and have been since I took the last bottle of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. had falling Ot the internal organs, female weakness, and flowing caused by miscarriage, and was very weak when commenced taking your rnedicine.''
