WOMEN'S
SECRETS.

There is one man in the United States
who has perhaps heard more wonen's
secrets than any other man or woman in
the country. These secrets are not Sc
crcts of guilt or shame, but the secrets OF
suffering, and they have been confded
10 DR.. K. V. Pierce in the hope and eX-
pectation of advice and help. That few
of these women have been disappointed
in their expectations is proved by the
fact that ninety-eight per cent. of all
women treated by Or. Pierce have been
absolutely and altogether cured. Such a
record would be remarkable If the cases
treated were numbered by hundreds
only. But when that record applies to

lion women, in a practice OF over thirty
years, it is phenomenal and entities DR..

WOMEN IN TROUBLE.
The Approach OF Motherhood is the
Occasion of Much Anxiety TO ALL.

Every woman breads the ordeal
through which she must pass in becom-
ing a mother. The pain and suffering
which is i'm store for her is a source of
constant anxiety, fear and dread, TO
say nothing of the danger which the
coming incident entails. The joyous
anticipations with which she looks for
ward 10 baby's coming gives way to an
Understandable dread of the ordeal when
she fully realizes the critical and trying
event which will soon approach and
have TO be endured.
Women should hail with delight a
remedy which insures 10 them inn
munity from the pain, suffering and
danger incidental TO child-bearing.
Such a remedy is now offered, and
women need not fear longer the hour Of
childbirth. "Mother's Friend"-is a
scientific liniment--and if used before
confinement, gently and surely prepares
the body for the great requirements
and changes it is undergoing, insures
safety TO both mother and child, and
takes her through the event with COM
parative ease and comfort. This Won
derful remedy is praised by every
woman who has used it.
What woman il not interested in
mother FRIEND! ms WOnuerluI
remedy has been tested and its price
less value proven by the experience of
thousands of happy mothers who
have used it during the most critical
period of woman's life-the approach
and elimination of motherhood.
1t has won their everlasting praise,
for it gave them help and hope in
their most trying hour and when
most needed. Every woman may some
day need Mothers Friend ," The
little book, Before Baby is Born, i"
telling all about it, and when it should
be used, will prove of great interest and
benefit to all eXpectant mothers, and
will be sent free TO any address upon
application to the Bradiie!d Regulator
Company, Atlanta, Ga.

Kalamazoo, Mich May 5-The de-
Tense in the trial of Allison and Slater,
alleged Rchland bank robbers, rested
their case this afternoon. Their evil
dencc consisted almost entirely of de-
positions. among which was that OF
John j. Johnson, who has an Office
with the Talbots, who are attorneys
for Allison and Slater in South Bend.
He testified in his deposition that he
had no connection with the Talbots in
a business way; that he had noe gath
cred information for the defense, etc,
and that Slater took supper with him
in South Bend on Aug. 1 and break
fast on Aug. ), the morning of the rob-
berry. The prosecution in rebuttal
offered in evidence several letters
written 20 one McFann, restaurant
keeper IN Toledo. tending 10 show
that johnson was working very as
siduously for the defense and was en-
deavoring to shield several people
whom the officers wanted badly. This
was a clincher on the defense and
something not expected by them. Nc
Fam testified on the stand and his
testimony seemed to be extremely in
eliminating.
