expressed themselves as certain of n
successful season. The league will
be practically affiliated with the Ma

compact has as yet been signed. All
day Yesterday The magnates were in
session, busy with organizing and the
settling of the circuit. Officers were
elected as follows: President and

Life Is Growing Longer.

From statistics and the result of
certain changes in the methods OF
living, it has been proven that the
span of life is being heightened.
We are justified in believing this
when we consider the great advances
made in medicine during the past
fifty years. The most noteworthy
of them being Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, the old reliable remedy for
all ailments of the stomach, liver and
bowels. 1t cures dyspepsia, indiges-
ton, constipation, headache, sour
stomach, beIching, heartburn and bill
iousness. 1t is the best medicine in
the world for run down systems, and
has a record of fifty years of cures.
Women should also try it, as it will
certainly do them god. Our Private
Die Stamp is over the neck of the bot
tie.

One of the most common statements
made in the letters grateful women
write to Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, n. Y,
is this: vI owe my life to DR.. Pierce"
These women have found themselves in
great danger. They have appealed
without avail to local physicians. They
have counseled 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.
woMArT'S APPEAL. ANSWERED.
Hundreds of thousands of women
have appealed to DIR. Pierce, for relief
from woinanIv ills and not one has ap-
pealed in vain. The use of DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription supplemented by
the medical advice of DR.. Pierce has
been the means of cure to this vast army
of women suffering from diseases pecul-
lar to the sex.

Ceived from using your remedies"

wears ago 1 was taken with a severe pain
in the left ovarv and side. Tried several
different remedies, but nothing helped
me. 1 got so bad could scarcely walk
across the floor or do work of any kind.
One day an old neighbor lady came in
to see me, and told me to try DIR.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. She
said she knew it would help me, as it
had saved her life. When the doctors
had given her up and said they could
do nothing for her she said she began to
take DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
and it cured her. So 1 got bottle of
the Favorite Prescription and one of
Golden Medical Discovery and began
taking them. Before 1 had taken one
bottle of each I was so much better 1
could do all my own work, and that is a
good deal, as am the mother of four
small children Three bottles of the
'Favorite Prescription and one of
Golden Medical Discovery cured me.

The Woman in Peril Rarely Finds
Help From Her Own Sex.

1t is in no wise to woman's discredit
that she is not professional life-saver.
We can only fancy her in the fireman S

welding a policeman's club, at the loss
of some of that fineness which is the
distinguishing quality of her sex. The
Molly Pitchers and Grace Darlings are
only examples of the sublime self-for-
getfulness of women in great emer-
