Spectators of the event state that it was genuine reminder of the hal cyon days gone by of long ago, and gives Prescott the distinct ton of be- ing one of the best centers of sporting money in the southwest.

She is perplexed about conditions of which she cannot speak to any other. She thinks of the family physician. But her delicate nature shrinks from the questions she might be called upon to answer. And so without counsel or help she drifts along while every day time tightens the letters of disease.
 Young women instinctively know that certain conditions are abnormal. They know that heads and backs were not made to ache. But they do not know where to turn for relief.
 ANY MOTHER WOULD SAY
 what almost every mother knows, that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the best medicine for the cure of womanly ills. It not only cures headache and backache but 1t cures the womanly ills which cause these pains
 VI am so much better since I con- menced taking your Favorite Prescrip- ton, writes Miss Jessie Simmons, of Thurston, Frederick Co.,, Md. uI am very much improved in health, and feel as though had new lease of life. It was just what I needed. Am more than thankful to you for the kindly interest you have taken, and hope that others will find the same benefit from your valI- able books and medicines that I have"
 Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is not offered as a cure-all. It is woman's medicine, and it accomplishes perfectly the cure of womanly diseases. It estab- fishes regularity. It dries unhealthy and offensive drains. It heals inflammation and alteration and cures female weak ness. It is a purely vegetable prep aration, containing no alcohol, neither opium, cocaine nor any other narcotic, and cannot disagree with the most delicate constitution.
