sInn REWARD SInn-

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able TO cure IN all its stages,
and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure known
to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being constitutional disease, re-
quires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken inter
nally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the consti-
tuition and assisting nature in doing
it's work. The proprietors have so
much faith in it's curative powers,
that they offer One Hundred Dollars
for any case that it fails to cure.

Between the ages of fifteen and
forty-five the time when womanhood
begins and motherhood ends, it is
estimated that the aggregate term
of woman's suffering Is ten years.
Ten years out of thirty! One-third
of the best part of woman's life
sacrificed! Think of the enormous
loss of time But time is not all
that is lost. Those years of suffer
ing steal the bloom from the cheeks,
the brightness from the eyes, the
fairness from the form. They write
their record in many crease and
wrinkle. What a boon then to
woman, is DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription. 1t promotes perfect regu-
larity, dries up debilitating drains,
heals liberation, cures female weak
ness, and establishes the delicate
womanly organs in vigorous and
permanent health. No other medi-
cine can do for woman what is done
by DR.. Pierce's Fas sorite Prescrip-
ton.
