Is the worst kind of poverty. However
rich woman may be, if her health is
"poor" she is poor indeed. She has no
appetite for food and the choicest dishes
cannot tempt her. She turns and tosses
through a restless night on couch
which might WOO an empress to slumber.
She has no strength for household cares,
no delight in social pleasure. She sits
"perked up in clustering grief wearing
a golden sorrow" She is a wife and
mother. But she has no happiness in
either relation. She knows her husbands 8
life is set in tune and time to the minor
music of her own misery. If her child
laughs or cries her nerves quiver with
pain.
Ask such woman if she would like to
be we'll; to be her husbands comrade,
her child's playmate. Could there be
but one answer?
Such woman can get we'll IT she will.
All her symptoms indicate a diseased
condition OF the delicate womanly or
gauism. Cure that condition and the
woman will be lifted up to the full en-
ioyment of health.
In 1inety-eight cases out of every hum
dred DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
will cure womanly diseases, will restore
the womanly health. It has cured tens
of thousands of women many Of whom
had been given up by physicians and
friends 1t is essentially medicine for
woman's ills. 1t dries enfeebling drains.
1t heals Inflammation and liberation. 1t
cures female weakness and bearing down
pains. 1t tranquilizes the nerves, re-
stores the appetite and gives refreshing
sleep.
rFavorite Prescription differs from
almost all other medicines put up for
woman's use in that it contains no slco-
hol and is entirely free from opium, CO.
caine and all other narcotics. 1t is in
the truest sense of the term a iem-
beyunee medicine.

terday's unprecedented record of over 2,0000O
shares todays sales Of stock fell back to coo
shares The snap was clearly gone from the bull
enthusiasm and the best efforts OF the bull
leaders proved unavailing to induce any general
or imposing advance in prices The decreased
activity of the market was manifest from the
opening which showed no such congested buying
with running sales of enormous blocks at wide
quotations ss has been the feature of the open
ings ever since New Years day. The realizing
movement yesterday was taken up in London this
morning and there opening declines reach.
ing from l to 2 in a number OF internationas.
Then came the invariable contest between specu-
lative forces in the form Of supporting orders
and sharp bidding up of stocks newly brought
forward into prominence. Sugar, Peoples Gas
and Rock Island were the principal sustaining
forces at the opening.
The speculative contest was continued all day
with varying fortunes. The greatest irresuarity
and most erratic fluctuations were amongst the
Changers, Coales, Pacifcs and some OF the
trunk lines These all had their early period OF
strength and again were most prominent in the
late drive against the market st. Paul rose at
one time to l6l and fell back late in the day to
l56ls. The declines from the highest in other
members OF the groups ran from , to points.

consistently strong OF any in the list, The spe.
cial strength in Missouri Pacific had a stirnulat.
ing effect on the whole group. This stock opened
up fraction and inaugurated most of the
rallies afterwards during the day. II closed at
slk, top price, showing a net gain Of five
points The only news TO account for the rise
was published estimate placing the earnings
of the company at a high per cent. Of the

materially reduced the days declines and lifted
many stocks from I to . points above the low
