a HOMELESS Case" Cured

81 wish to add my testimony to hundreds OF
others as to the value of DR.. Pierce's medicines y
writes Mrs Ida NJ De Ford, of Latona Hubbard
Co., MINI. "HaYe doctored with a great many
physicians,-some specialists; have twice been in
a hospital for treatment My case has been re-
garded as a hopeless one, and they knew not what
the trouble was Heart Yves bad; stomach all out
of order; tired out, pains IN all parts of the
body; sinking spells and nearly every ailment a
woman could have. I took many bottle of diff
ferent patent medicines without effect. began
taking DR.. Pierce's FaForite Prescription, and ten
months afterward I gave birth to ten pound boy.
All physicians had stated as fact that never
strong, and l got along splendid -thanks to your
medicine. I do my own work and feel very much
encouraged. I wish all suffering would
thoroughly try your tFavorite Prescription
Cures such as Mrs. De Forli's are not uncommon
when @Favorite Prescription" is given fair and
faithful trial The noteworthy fact is that when
specialists and surgeons have failed Favorte Pre-
scrption effects cure; when all physicians stated
fact that chid-bearing was impossible, "Favor-
lite Prescription" put them to utter shame. The
successful cures brought about by the of DR..
PierUe's Fsvorite Prescription are due to the fact
that it makes weak women strong and sick women
well Weakness and sickness are the chief hind
RANGES to motherhood. When strength and health
are restored the wife is lifted to the normal plane
of womanhood and maternity becomes at once her
privilege and her pleasure.

HELP THE POOR.
Many Needy Cases Come to the Attcn-

Many Needy Cases Come to the AttCn-
 tion of the Selectmen.
 The selectmen were busy the past week endeayoring to meet the de mands of those who called upon them for something to help them make up a decent Christmas dinner for them selves and those who are looking to them for their bread. Most of the callers were women who were short for various reaSOuS, their husbands had not worked in q long time. some of them had no enc to provide for the home but themselves. the demon of discOrd having set the heads of the families apart, while others were en- gagged in q struggle to keep house and control q man possessed of an inSa- tiable thirst for liquor. Of course. the evidence is all Ome-sided. and whether they mean it or not, they say some terrible mean things about the men folks. many of whom not only refuse to work. but come home drunk and raise Cain in the presence of the little ones. One little woman told q sad tale of woe in th3lobby of City hall this morning. She said there was not q bite in the house that one could eat. nor cent of money anywhere that she could call her own. She displayed
 
 q hand and arm that had been severe ly scalded and stated that had it not been for that she would earn enough to meet the wants of her house for the Christmas time without looking for charity from the town or anybody else. The wOman'S horny hands showed unmistakable evidence that she had been earning her bread by the sweat of her brow, and as she wiped her eyes in her apron and limped away she was lame-One could not help bein" reminded of the old saying: "One half the world does not know how the other half lives" And, after all the wants of these people are not many No doubt a couple of dollars worth of goods would suffice for the present but the trouble with these cases that spring up suddenly is due entirely tC the fact that there are so many frauds so that in order to guard against i'm position every case has to be investi gated before relief is given.
