boar, he was often brave to the point
Of foolhardiness. He boosted, indeed,
Of having known fear only once, and
under these circumstances:
The province OF Haute Marine was
invaded by the Germans IN the August
of 1870. They had already occupied
the principal points; but, despite LIS
being an important town, they had neg
lected to lay siege to It, doubtless
thinking it useless to waste time and
men In investing It, while they COM
manded the situation on both sides.
So up to the beginning Of January,
1871, not helmet had been seen or a
cannon shot exchanged. Nevertheless
the invasion continued. and commune
cation with the outer world grew more
and more difficult. rations became
scarce and very dear, and, as they liy-
ed from day to day in the expectation
of being besfeged. each one put him
self on short allowance.
Suddenly it was discovered that a
fresh supply of drugs would be needed
for the ambulances. Ten miles away
at Recy-sur- Ource was military phar-
macy protected by the French troops
that occupied the part Of the province
Of Cote dor which as yet had not
been invaded. To gain this little Ber-
gundian town, though. the risk must
be encountered Of falling into the
hands Of the Germans. Ny cousin Me-
Iasippe was a member Of the Red
Gross and offered boldly to go to Recy
for the necessary quinine and antisep-
tics.
So one morning, wearing the Red
Cross badge, bundled up in his fur
greatcoat, he set out on his journey.

given below, she says that in ten years
of suffering she tried seven doctors with
out permanent benefit. Her family ply
stefan said she could not get we'll. Yet
what seven doctors failed to do was
perfectly and permanently accomplished
by DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
There is no experiment in the use of this
medicine. 1t has cured thousands of
women of the most distressing forms of
wonianly disease.
WHAT CURED ME- WHEN OTHERS FAILED.

liver and kidney troubles, and catarrh
of the bladder" writes Mrs. Lottie NJ

diseases which had failed to yield to the
treatment of local physicians, and which
in many cases, as in that of Mrs. Doug
glass, had been pronounced incurable.
Many women write to DR.. Pierce for
his medical advice and the wise and
fatherly counsel which are the outcome
of more than thirty years of practice and
success. DIR. Pierce gives to every sick
woman the privilege of free consultation
with him by letter. This offer is not to
be COMPOUNDED with those offers of free
medical advice made by men or women
who are not physicians and are not quail
fed legally or medically to give the
advice they offer.
All correspondence is held as sacred,
and the written condolences of women
are guarded by the same strict profess
sional privacy observed by DR.. Pierce in
his daily personal consultation with sick
women. Address Dr. Pierce, Buffalo, NY.
