but with little benefit. I began to take your Favorite Prescription in November and had a nice little baby girl in February following. I was only in hard labor about one hour and was up and dressed on the eighth day. I never had the doctor with me at all just the nurse and two friends This makes my second child; with the first one di1 not take the Favorite Prescrip- tion and the little sick all the time and lived just about two months. This last baby is as plump and healthy as any mother could wish She s about three weeks old and is gaining i'll flesh every day"
 Mothers who suffer undue pain prior to or succeeding the baby's birth are invited to consult pr. R. V. Pierce, by letter, abso- lutely without charge. The great success which has attended the careful methods pursued by Dr. Pierce, has caused imita- tors to spring up, who r7ake offers of free advice, which they are not competent to give, not being physiC ans. When you are invited to "write to wonan," ask the simple question, Is this woman a physician? You will find that she is not, and does not, and dares not claim to be, physician. To offer such advice is deceitful. To receive 1t is dangerous.
 Prospective mothers should send for a free copy of Dr. Pierce's great 1000 page book the Common Sense Medical Adviser" A copy in paper-covers will be sent to any address on receipt of 21 one-cent stamps to pay cost of mailing 0nky; in cloth-binding 3I stamps.

Actors Departing.

William McVay and some OF the
other members of the theatrical COM
pany which has been here for some
time, will leave for San Francisco to-
day per sailing vessel. AS 1t Is out OF
season in the stage business, time Is
no object with the people, and they
expect to have a pleasant trip and to
do some studying during the voyage
to the coast.
1t is with many regrets that Mr..
McVay leaves Honolulu. He has made
many pleasant acquaintance here and
expresses the hope that he may again
visit the Islands. Mr.. McVay, who
has been in the profession many years.
and who has high standing on the
Mainland, says that the people OF Ho-
nolulu are in their relation to the
drama, the most critical, intelligent
and discriminating he has ever en-
countered. He realizes that he was
unfortunate in attempting to give a
summer season here. but is pleased
with the appreciation vouched to earn
est effort, and is thankful for the per-
sonal consideration he received.
