mothers, worn with the burden of mother
hood and drained of vitality, that DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription comes as the
greatest of blessings. The timely use of
this remedy prevents the strain and stops
the drain from child bearing Where this
strain and drain have been experienced,
mothers find that DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription acting directly upon the delicate
organs which bear the burden of mother
hood, restores them to a normal condition
of health and elasticity. Ulcerations are
cured. determinations are removed. The
appetite becomes good, sleep is refreshing,
the nerves grow quiet. There is a new
brightness in the eye; a new lightness in
the step. There has come the perfect hap
piness of perfect health.

Mrs. Langtry's Temperance.

London, Sept. Mrs. Langtry's ap-
pearance at the Haymarket theater
last evening in Sydney Grundy's new
comedy, Tie Degenerate" was de-
cided success. She daringly portrayed
what are generally understood to be
scenes to be taken from her own life.
The unanimous comment at the close
of the performance was: 1T is good.
but she is awfuly brave to do it."
Mrs. Langtry acted better than ever
before. The comedy bristles with cpl
grams, but is occasionally vulgar. Mr..
Hugo Gerald de Battle, her husband,
looked on from box, with the Duke
of Saxe-COburg and Gotha and Prince
Louis of Battenburg. The Duchess of
Marlborough and other titled persons
were in the audience.

over which there has been so much
speculation as to what was going
to be started on thisproperty. The
first report was that a large moroc-

it now turns out that it is to be used
for large electric light plant. II
