One of the most common state
ments made in the letters grateful
women write to DR.. Pierce, of Buf
falo, N Y, is this: Il owe my life
to DIR. Pierce" These women have
found themselves in great danger
They have appealed without avail to
local physicians. They have coun-
seled in vain with women advisers.
The best that had been done for them
was just to keep them afoat in the
sea of disease with strength visibly
failing, in the hope that the man who
had strength and skill to save them
might be found

In transmitting the papers relating to Mr.
Parsons scheme of park improvement
Gen. Wilson takes occasion to pay high
compliment to the ability and energy dis
played by Mr.. Parsons in his work and to
strongly commend his general plan of i'm
proving the Mall to the favorable consider
alton of Congress. He also points out the
advantage and desirability of early action
in the matter in order that proceedings for
the condemnation or requirement of the
additional land on the north and south of
the Mall may be instituted with the least
possible DELAY.

Connection With Geological Park.
Another important feature of the general
scheme relates particularly TO the connec-
ton of the mall with the Geological Park.
Briefly stated, this connecting link en-
braces the entire territory between 22d
street and 24t:l street from New York ave-
nue., near the site Of the entrance to the
proposed Memorial bridge across the Poto-
mac northward to N street, where the new
park territory takes a semi-crcuar turn
to the west around Rock Creek cemetery,
almost touching the new naval observatory
grounds and ending at the boundaries of
the Geological Park, at the junction OF Ca
thedral and Connecticut avenues.
In taking this course the park extension
follows the curves of Rock creek. The
general plan of treatment of it Is the same
as that advocated for the mall, the leading
features of which are the elliptical drive
ways and circles at interesting points with
monuments, statues and fountains, placed
80 as to make the best display. Special
treatment is accorded to that section of the
park extension west Of the monument
grounds, to the site of the entrance Of the
proposed Memorial bridge, west of the old
observatory grounds. A large ornamental
circle is placed on New York avenue, at the
entrance to the bridge. The enlargement
OF geological Park Is recommended by the
addition Of adjacent ground on the north
and west out and around Rock creek, as far
south N street
Mr. Parsons estimates that 1t will cost
$3.153, 80 to carry out his scheme of i'm
proyement, outside of the cost of the addi-
tional land required His estimates include
Grading, $3.50 724: masonry, $7A, 1902;
roads. $26S, $3.50: paths. $41, 400: bride paths,
$4,000; drainage. 1850: planting. seeding.

the power of DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription better than the most elo-
quent words of praise. The test OF a
medicine is, what has it done for wo-
men? BY that test "Favorite Pre-
scription" invites woman's verdict.
On the testimony of trustworthy wo-
men, "Favorite Prescription" has
saved life where physicians had given
UP all hope. 1t has cured the most
stubborn and obstinate forms OF wo-
manly disease. 1t has vanished pain,
restored the appetite, induced refresh
ing sleep, given color to the cheeks
and roundness to the form.
WOMEN WHO CANNOT BE CURED.
There are few women for whom no
perfect cure is possible. The number
of such women has been reduced to
a minimum by the practical expert
ence of DR.. Pierce. Of the hun
dreds of thousands of women who
have appealed to DIR. Pierce for
counsel in connection with his Fay

republican national convention at las

Senator Foraker of Ohio made the NOM

ready achieved by him and the grave re-
sponsibilities now being carried forward
by him, the applause was frequent and
long-continued. But il remained for his

mer tempests of enthusiasm paled before
this cyclone of sound and movement.
At the conclusion of his remarks Gov.

received $3.50 votes 1t is a unanimous vote
and the chairman declares that William
Mckinley is your nominee for the presi-
dency for the term beginning March 4,
