in any climate and retains its pleasant
taste.
If your dealer offers substitute for
"Favorite Prescription" remember that
the substitute is not what you asked for,
not what you wanted, not what you be-
lieved would cure you and not what cured
the others, the records of whose cures
gave you confidence in "Favorite Pre-
scription" for your case. To buy it is
to please the dealer who makes a better
profit on it, and to rob yourself of the
cure which will only be found in DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Refuse
all substitutes for this valuable medicine.
No recipient of DR.. Pierce's great gift,
wiser, has ever had anything but praise
and gratitude to offer for this really val
liable book, containing 1908 pages and over
100 illustrations.

OF GREECE.
A LESSON FOR WEAK
WOr1EN. a

The graceful Grecian women admired
the strength combined with skill, which
was displayed to its highest perfection
in the athletes of their race. Among the
greatest of these athletes was Milo. the
man who carried an OK on his shoulders.
1t was an age of athleticism There
were giants in those days" Doubtless
many an athlete could have showed thews
as great as Milo's. But for all that Milo
was the only man who could shoulder the
OK. How was it done? The athlete told
the story himself. He began with the
OK when it was a little calf, lifting it
daily, until it became the full-grown,
bulky beast which he carried in the
arena.
Milo was an athletic specialist He is
typical of all specialists in that he sue
ceeded by doing the same thing over
and over day after day for years.
One of the greatest specialists of the
day is DR.. r. V. Pierce, chief consulting
physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Sur
