TO SUFFERING WOMEN.
This message comes to you from hun
dreds of thousands of women who were
once sick and suffering: DR.. Rerce's
FdVorfte Prescription has completely
cWred rs of disease and made as nell
and happy women. Can you afford if
you are sick to neglect such an oppor-
tunity of cure! Other medicines may
have failed you. Local physicians may
have said you could not be cured. But
if you have not tried vFavorite Pre-
scription," you have neglected the use
of the medicine which has cured when
all other medicines failed, and doctors
proclaimed cure to be impossible.
Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription
establishes regularity, dries weakening
drains, heals Inflammation and ulcera-
ton, and cures female weakness. AS a
tonic and nervine it is unequaled in its
strengthening powers. 1t restores the
lost health and gives back color to the
cheek and plumpness to the form.
Sick women are invited to consult DIR.

THE BRISTOL CUP YACHT.
The Herreshofrs Likely to Launch
the Constitution secretly.

BRISTOL, r. /, April T--BeIief is
strong here that the Cup yacht Coustitu-
ton viii be launched secretly. and that
the Herreshoffs viii use every means to
get the yacht overheard without the pub
lies knowledge.
All the conditions are favorable to such
action on their part. and the tide is not
a factor in Designer Mats calculations.
The yacht rests in a cradle on the launch
ing ways, and there is a mean depth of
twenty-five feet with the normal tide at
the head OF the south pier, along the path
Of the ways
It is urged by those who are confident
the launching viii be secret that the IN
fortunate accident of two years GO when
a boy vas killed and several persons in
jured by n fiasbiight explosion, has infiu-
enced the HerreShoffs against taking the
public into their confidence
Then, they are strongly opposed to hav-
ing photugra phs Of the yachts underbody
made as she gIides down the launching
ways. and il would be impossible for them
TO prevent this If the day Of her taking
the water were given out. Therefore they

deck is vet to go on. it is extremely un-
likely that she viii be launched for 81
least two weeks and probably later.

II IS admitted that there is much good

section at leisure, waited for the others
to arrive. But in order to avert suspi-
