those six long, 'dreary, miserable years.
Think Of the distress of a refined. modest
woman during the useless examinations
and treatment of four different doctors who
each and all failed to give her any comfort.
Think of all this and then think that she
was finally cured-completely, wholly, per
~nIanentiy cured right in the privacy of her
home without the abhoTrent "eXatnira-
tons" and local treatment SO uniformly
insisted upon by home physiclans-cured
lust as she might have been six years before:
These are simply tie facts in the case of
Mrs. M. B. Wallac-. of Mueuster, Cook
Co., Texas, who writes:
II had been a great sufferer from female weak
ness. tried four doctors and none did me any
good. I suffered six years, but at last I found
relief. I followed your advice, and took four
bottles of Golden Medical Discovery and eight
of the 'Favorite Prescription now feel Ikea
nezv yonon. / have gained eighteen pounds
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription Is a
medicine made for just one purpose-to
cure disorders or diseases of the feminine
organism. 1t is the only preparation Of its
kind introduced by a regularly graduated
nhysican-a skilled specialist in the dis
eases of women, whose thirty years of sue
cessful practice are a guarantee OF health TO
all sufferers who consult him.
Every woman may write fully and con-
Gdeutially to DR.. r. V. Pierce, Buffalo,
N. Y, and may be sure that her case
will receive careful, conscientious, conf
dental consideration, and that the best
medical advice in the world will be given
to her, absolnteLyJvee.
In addition to this free advice DR.. Pierce
will send a paper-bouud copy Of his great
Iooo-page book The Common Sense Med
zeal Adviser" to any one who will send 21
one-cent stamps to pay the cost of mailing.

pervisor of the district in which

Ms. Taylor, the estimable mother of the fair honoTee, was as- sisted in serving refreshments hy a number of lady friends. In the ball room was truly one of the most brilliant assembages witnessed in ths city for many day, and the ef- feet, as seen from the main doors. was a continually shifting scene of graceful forms, pretty faces and daintg with, of course, the very essential somberly "shad- ows," without whom no dainty maid would have felt happy or the cotlllon itself been a possibility. The goWus worn on this occasio Il were beautiful tributes to the wear ers' taste and the dressmaLer' skill. Some few were imported, but the majority were designed by local modistes and a most adequate proof of hone manufacturers ability to keep pace with importers of Old World ia 3ries. The floor in the hall was in an idesl condition, and CO., ored orchestra furnished music of the most alluring and irresistible sweet ness. Punch was served to refresh those weary with dancing, while the pool and billiard tables were put in requisitiOn bv the manv who prefer red those more quiet amusements. Mir. and Mrs. Taylor, Miss Maggie Taylor and Mir. Bell saw that tbe guests were made at home. Mr. Bell cleverly led the cotilliOu, assisted by MT. John Baldwin, who was luckily the escort of Miss Taylor. She YVES costumed in a beautiful evening dress of black and never looked prettier. Miss Taylor is a decided brunette and her features are perfect. She is numbered among Pine Bluffs pretti- est beles, Mr. Bell should feel proud of the great success of his affair. II is pronounced by those who attend ed as one of the grandest event ever given in Ourcity.
