man may have a nerve Of steel and a heart
as tender as a mothers.
OF all the specialists in the world. there
probably are not two that have as wide an
experience in the treatment Of women's
diseases as DR.. X. Y. Pierce, chief consult
ing physician to the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, At Buffalo, y. Y. With
the assistance of his staff of able physi-
clans, he has prescribed, in the past thirty
years, for many thousands of women. Dr..
Pierce is prc-enlinently a sympathetic ply
stefan. Perhaps more than any other man
in the profession he realizes the hardships
of wornan's work, and the disadvantages
under which she labors because of the
weak, delicate and susceptible structure Of
the feminine organism. His immense prac-
tice in diseases peculiar to women forced
upon his recognition the fact that women
would never take the proper care Of their
health, so long as that care required the
repugnant examinations" and local
treatments" insisted upon by nearly all
physicians. After years of study he invent
ed a remedy now known as DIR. Picrce's
Favorite Prescription that is an absolute
and untailing cure for the most complicated
and obstinate cases Of diseases peculiar to
women. This wonderful medicine cures in
the privacy Of the home, and does away
with the necessity for obnoxious local
treatment 1t irnparts health, strength,
vigor and elasticity to the organs distinctly
feminine and fits for wifchood and mother
hood.

Departure Of General Lee and His Party
From Havana.
KEY WEST, Fla, April l2.-"Tell
the Olivette to get under way ut once,
Captain Cowles; signal the Bache that
the United States feet is ready to clear
out of Havana and please follow the
Bache out"
These were the ords of Consul Gen.
eral Lee as he stood on the poop of the
Fern at Havana with a group of CORE
spondents around him. The Evyln
had already passed Moro castle when
the Olivette weighed anchor. The
Bache was close behind and the Fern
was the last of the line. The wharves
and boats on both sides of the narrow
entrance to the harbor were crowded
with Spaniards, who Missed and jesred
as each boat passed out. General Lee,
being on board the Fern,
Made That Boat u Target
for redoubled Kisses, groans, cat calls
and whistles from the crowds on shore.
"Get cut, Yankees, swine," was
among the mildest expressions used.
This seemed to strike every II on
board as ludicrous. Vice Consul
Springer, who had been in the island
30 years, waved his hand to "A particu.
larly abusive group saying in n tone
loud enough for all to hear, "Wait.
wait. my friends, we shall all be back
soon."
There was II pretty incident on
the Cabanas shore. A British steamer
was unloading at her wharf and as the
Fern passed the Union Jack was
dipped while the English crew gave .
hearty cheer. 1t is needless to say that
the compliment was returned with all
possible gusto.
