SHIP-WRECKED.
Humanity to the Rescue.

If the news were flashed across the
continent that on some desolate, inhos-
pitable shore a mother and child were
planned and organized. Though the
cost should be millions, though the
voyage should be long and perilous,
though the woman cast-awey were the
poorest of her sex, unstinted treasure
would be poured out and life cheerfully
risked to bring her back to home and
happiness.
Is in any worse for mother and babe
to perish Of disease and hunger on a
desolate island than under a sheltering
roof in a civilized land? How many
mothers lives are wrecked by ill-health
each year? How many infants die of

Every claim made for DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription has a cure right
behind it. And behind this cure are
thousands of other cures.
"Favorite Prescription establishes
regularity dries offensive and weakening
drains, heals inflammation and ulcera-
ton and cures female weakness. It is
the best preparative for motherhood
tranquilizing the nerves, encouraging
the appetite and inducing refreshing
sleep. 1t makes the baby's advent prac-

strength to give her child.

OF GREAT WORTH TO WOMEN
DR.. Pierce's Common Sense Medical
Adviser deals with the important ques-
tons in the fields of biology, physiology
and hygiene, in plain English. OF
especial value to women are the chapters
treating on the care of the health, mar
rage and maternity. The work contains
over thousand large pages and is sent
free on receipt of stamps to pay expense
of mailing only. Send 81 one-cent stamps

the story OF such as these make appeal
to human sympathy and stir men to
organized effort for their relief.
RELIEF IS READY.
More and more with every month Of
every year women are learning that a
call for help in their weakness and sick
ness will be promptly answered by DR..
R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y. OF the
average of FIVE thousand letters re-
ceived by DR.. Pierce each week in the
year a large number are from weak and
sick women who ask for relief from pain,
rescue from the loneliness and desola-
ton of life which disease has robbed
of all its brightness. Every such letter
is regarded as a cry for help, and the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute of
Buffalo, N. ", Of which DIR. Pierce is
chief consulting physician and surgeon,
is organized for the rescue of Just such
weak and sick women. With his staff
Of nearly a score of physicians, each man
a specialist, DR.. Pierce responds to the
appeal of suffering women as promptly
as the crew of a life-boat respond to the
appeal of distressed mariners. By his
medicines and advice hundreds of thou
sands of sick women have been made

General Washington wanted a man.
1t was in September, 1776, at the City
of New York, few days after the
battle OF Long Island. The swift and
deep East River flowed between the
two hostile armies, and General wash
ington had as yet no system establish
ed for getting information OF the en-
emy's movements and intentions lie
never needed such information so much
as at that crisis.
What would General Howe do next?
II he cross at Hell Gate, the American
army, too small in numbers, and de-
feated the week before, might be caught
on Manhattan island as In a trap, and
the Issue OF the contest might be made
to depend upon single battle; for IN
such circumstances defeat would In
Volye the capture OF the whole army.
And yet General Washington was COM
PEELED to confess
1--WE cannot learn, nor have we been
able to possess, the least information
of late"
Therefore he wanted man. He
wanted an intelligent man, cool-head-
ed. skillful, brave, to cross the East
River to Long Island, enter the en-
emy's camp and get information as to
his strength and intentions. He went
to Colonel Knowlton, commandig re-
markably efficient regiment from Con
necticut, and requested him to ascer-
tain IL this man so sorely needed could
be found in his command, Colonel
Knowlton called his officers together

ton, and without urging the enter
