A Big Speculation Scheme
A Good Stake.

Pittsburg, Pa, April lS.-The
Pittsburg manufacturers generally
believe that the recent closing of
the mills of the American Steel &
Wire Co. is only matter of spec
ulation. 1t is known generals,
that President } w. Gates, of that
company, has recently pocketed
several million dollars by specula-
ton i'll stocks. Gates is the man
who is prosecuting Alex. Jester for
the murder of his brother many
years ago.
Neither of the mills of the com
bine have been in operation for
several months. 1t is understood
today that the crew of rod mill
workers that left Pittsburg some
time ago, is about to return.
This is taken to indicate that the
company's rod mill here will re-
sumo operations.

No Lady Would Do
Such a Thing.

No lady would take her watch when
out OF order, to the first person who dis
played the sign Watches Regulated
and Repaired" But she would carefully
enquire for man whose acknowledged
skill entitled him to take in charge the
delicate mechanism.
How much more careful should a
woman be, when she herself is disor-
dcrded, not to cntrust the delicate and
complex mechanism of her being to the
hrst man or woman who displays the
sign Medical Advice Given" No SIGN
Is to be trusted which says Medical
Advice Given " and stops there. Medi-
cal advice can be given only by ply
sician, An accredited physician wilt put
his title with his name. Suppose sign
reads, medical Advice Given bv A
Man." What woman would rot ill.,
stantly say, "Thc fact of being a man
doesn't qualify him to give mrdical adj
vice. He must be a physician to do
that. But suppose the sign reads:
Medical Advice Given by Woman"
Is not the fact just as patent that being
a OoHaH does not qualify her to give
Wtdiddl advice. The woman must be
a physician to- do that. Medical advice
given by an unskillcd woman is lust rs
dangerous as if given by an unskilcd
man.
In inviting sick and ailing woman to
consult him by letter without charge,
DR. Pierce points to an experience and
practice of over thirty years devoted
specially to diseases peculiar to women.
In that time DIR. Pierce and his associate
staff of medical specialists have success
fully treated more than half million
women. All correspondence is treated
as strictly private and sacredly confden-
