the stockholders OF the Knitting com
pany which went up the fiue some
ten years ago. The entire assets OF
the latter company consisted OF it's
factory building. which has been ly-

building, and the stockholders OF the
old knitting company will get shares

ness which is not healthy. The utterly
worn out feeling experienced by so
many women is not due as a rule TO
f1se physical exhaustion of labor, but to
t<ie draining away of the strength by
womanly diseases. Nervousness, head
ache, backache, and sleeplessness are
bat few of the common results of such
. diseased condition. Yet thousands of
women suffer from wonanly diseases for
years and make little or no effort TO
eject a cure. They treat womanly dis
ease as il IL was purely local thing, and
suly wake up TO the disastrous effect of
the disease upon the general health,
when there is an utter break down, fol-
lowed perhaps by years OF painful i'll
ness.
HOW TO BE CURED.
Any woman suffering from womanly
disease can almost surely be cured by
the use of DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton. This statement is based on the
testimony of many thousands of women
who have been cured of womanly dis
eases (often when aggravated by neglect
or wrong treatment, and generally of a
serious and painful nature), by the use
of -Favorite Prescription"
