Mothers advice is worth more than
The advice of any other woman to the
daughter who is perplexed by the prob
lens of physical health and comfort.
There's no need therefore to write to a
Doma1," who is a stranger.
There may, however, be need for a
bhysiefan'S advice to supplement the adj
vice of the mother. In such case the
offer of free consultation by letter, made
by DR.. Pierce, opens the way to health,
and at the same time avoids the un-
pleasant questiorings, the repulsive ex-
aniinations and offensive local treatments
which less experienced physicians often
insist on.
Any sick or ailing woman is invited to
write to DIR. Pierce, Buffalo. in the strict
est privacy. Each letter is held as a
sacred confidence and its answer is sent
in a plain envelope, bearing no printing
upon 1t.
Do not be misled by advertisements
offering "medical advice" which are
published by those who not being ply
sicians are not qualified to give such adj
vice. Any physician or doctor who has
a legal and professional right to the title
will publicly claim that title. Those
who offer medical advice" and invite
you to write to woman do not claim
that the woman is a doctor The "medi-
cal advice Of an unprofessional woman
is just as dangerous as the medical
advice - of an unprofessional man. In
more than thirty years DR.. Pierce and his
staff of nearly score of medical pecial.
lists, have successfully treated over half a
million women. You can write without

NOTED LECTURE,
BY a Noted Man, at the First M. E.
Church.

Elbert Hubbard, the Roycrofter of
East Aurora, writes thus of #. Hop
kipson Smith, who will be heard at the
First Methodist church, Feb. 27: SIN
a magazine article short time ago,
saw Mr. Hopkinsou Smith referred ia
as the Leonardo da vinci of America.
Mr.. Smith is talented man. He is
writer, artist, an orator and civil
engineer. He is eminently sane, pos
sesses common sense plus, and always
has one eye well fixed on the main
chance. He Is practical. Mr, Smith
is not college man; but when in 1891
he gave course of lectures at Har.
ward, the throngs that crowded Say.
der's Theater to its utmost limit testi
fed to the fact that of Harygrd's three
hundred professors and teachers, not
one could match this lighthouse build,

sary to resort to such methods to stop
the contest. He has written to the
Prosecuting attorney of Hamilton
county ordering him to take immediate
steps to stop what he terms prize
fight" In order to anlighten the
prosecutor he cites the law bearing on
prize fights. The Governor is of the
opinion that the proposed bout rs not
n boxing match in the manner and
form prescribed by law" From Gin
cinnati comes the news that the pro-
moters of the event are very much dis
couraged at the prospect and that they
have about given up hope of pulling II
through. A dispatch from Columbus,
found in another column of today's
Democrat, gives the information rela-
tive to the action that Is proposed by
the Governor. He talks as though he
meant business.

GOOD WORK
Of the Union Charity
Association.
Aided Thirty Families During Last
Mon h.


The regular monthly meeting of the
Union Charity Association will be
held Tuesday afternoon, at 2 pm, at
the headquarters of the Association,
in the Walsh block. While there is
nothing of q special nature to come
before the Association, it is desired
that all members be present to re.
view the work done in the past month
and offer suggestions. The member
ship of the Association now numbers
45, and all are enthusiastic in the
work.
In January 30 families were aided.
In many of the cases, aid was made
necessary by reason of sickness.
While many Of the cases have been
pathetic, the Association refuses to
make public the details, because many
of the families are ordinarily well to
do, and, as was said, were forced on
account Of sickness to ask for aid.
