Animal instinct surpasses mans intelligence often

boasts Of his superior intelligence but the sense of self
preservation is far keener the brute creation than in

It. Civilized man is more prompted look after his
business and to think less of his OWE safety.

The Czar,a SnuMhOx.

Czar Paups snuffbox was as sacred
as the imperial crown itself. No one
was allowed to touch 1t. Kapioff wa
gered that he would take pinch out
Of 1t. One morning he walked up to
the table which stood near the bed on
which the czar still reclined and boldly
took from 1t the majestic snuffbox.
Opening 1t noisily. he inserted his fin
gers, and while Paul |. was watching
him In stupefaction at such audacity
he shifted up the fragrant powder with
evident satisfaction.
"What are you doing there, you
rogue?" exclaimed the ear exCitedly.

One of the most common statements
made in the letters grateful women
write to DR. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y.
is this: ~ owe my life to DR.. Pierce"
These women have found themselves in
great danger. They have appealed
without avail to local physicians They
have counseled in vain with women
advisers. The best that had been done
for them was just to keep them afloat in
the sea of disease with strength visibly
failing, in the hope that the man who
had strength and skill to save them
might be found.
woMAN's APPEAL ANSWERED..
Hundreds OF thousands of women
have appealed to DIR. Pierce, for relief
from wonanly ills and not one has APP
-pealed in vain. The use OF DIR. Pierce's
Pavorite Prescription supplemented by
the medical advice of DR.. Pierce has
been the means OF cure to this vast army
of women suffering from diseases pecul-
lar to the sex.
III wish to tell YOU the benefit re-
ceived from using your remedies"
writes Mrs. Alice Soncrant, of 26r w.
Harrison Street, Chicago, Ills. "Two
years ago I was taken with severe pain
in the left ovary and side. Tried several
different remedies, but nothing helped
me. I got so bad could scarcely walk
across the floor or do work OF any kind.
One day an old neighbor lady came In
to see me. and told me to try DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. She
said she knew 1t woBld help me, as it
had saved her life. When the doctors
had given her up and said they could
do nothing for her she said she began to
take DR.. ,Pierce's Favorite Prescription
and 1t cured her. So got bottle OF
the Favorite Prescription and one of
Golden Medical Discovery and began
taking them. Before had taken one
bottle Of each was so much better /
could do all my own work. and that is O
good deal. as I am the mother of four
small children. Three bottles of the

Golden Medical Discovery cured me.

A Man TO the Rescue !
The Woman in Peril Rarely Finds
Help From Her Own Sex.

II Is in no wise to a woman's discredit
that she Is not professional life-saver.
We can only fancy her in the fireman's
helmet, in the crew of the life-boat, or
welding a policeman's club, at the loss
of some of that fineness which is the
distinguishing quality Of her sex. The
Molly Pitchers and Grace Darlings are
only examples of the sublime self-for-
getfulness of women in great emer-
gencies
It's much the same in other ways.
Women turn to the strength, skill and
Judgment of men in the crises of life.
