II is no wonder that women everywhere
are full of unboufded praise and gratitude
for DIR. Piercc's Favorite Prescription It
does away with all suffering due to the dis
eases of the organs peculiarly feminine. 1t
regulates the periods, stops the disagreeable
drains heals inflamed and liberated con-
ditions, and cures female weakness. 1t
brings all the delicate female organs into
natural, healthy and harmonious action.
There is no opium or other narcotic,
and no alcohol whisky or other alcoholic
stimulant In Favorite Prescription
Sick women are invited to consult DR..
Pierce by letter, without charge Write
freely Every letter is treated as strictly
private and sacredly confidential.
Mrs. NJ +. Long of lie Loup, Franklin Co.

grateful am for yonr kind at'sice and good
less all my life In the past nine years grew
worse and two years ago was so poorly could
hardly drag around / consulted A specialist,

seem necessary to me- time went by, and 1
at last wrote to DIR. Pierce asking advice /
bouqht two bottles of Favorite Prescriptions ,
two of the Discovery and two Walls of the Pei

T1oN pounds and after taking one bottle of each
was like a new woman, In one month gained

THE INTERNATIONAL AUTOMO-
BILE RACE.

France claims to be four years ahead
of America in the manufacture of au-
tomobiles. and naturally expects to win.
SO did England in 70. Wen see about
the race. Result is the real criterion.
Judge automobiles. medicine or any
thing else by their works and you will
not go astray. Take Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters for instance. Behind it there
is fifty year record Of cures Of stom-
ach ills. There are innnmerable imita-
tons of it, which by their failure to do
as they promise serve but to enhance the
value of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
1t will cure dyspepsia, Indigestion, con-
stipation, bliousness and nervousness.
See that a private revenue stamp COW
ers the neck Of the bottle.

Callahan and Rice Draw.

YoNKERs. May Tim Callahan and Austin
Rice gave q rapid and exciting exhibition at
the Waverly A. c.. here tonight. They met
for twenty rounds and the affair went the
limit. Galatians cleverness was manifested.
but Rice was the better puncher. A largo
crowd was present and they enjoyed the strug-
gle. The verdict was a draw.
The strict Interpretation OF the Marquis Of
Queensberry rules. which Billy Madden. the
referee, insisted upon. put Callahan at sea for
the first four rounds. and Rice hammered his
kidneys necessarily. Callahan soon got on to
this ruse. and got back at Rice. But his blows
lacked steam and did no harm. They fought
for u brief spell at. long range. and Callahan
recovered some Of his lost ground by jabbing
in the fifth and sixth rounds.
In the eighth they mixed 1t up. Rice was
superior at inflghtinR and beat Galatians
left side. Callahan protected himself better
in the next three rounds and nonplussed
Rice. Callahan was all over his opponent
and hit him with surprising frequency. His
blows were not heavy enough to hurt. although
they, landed on the right place. Rice had Gala;
thirteenth rounds. Callahan did most OF the
forcing in the fourteenth, fifteenth. and six
teenth rounds. but Rice met him with straight
lefts.
The remaining rounds were red hot.
