Although Mrs. fuckers was a severe
case, Dr. Williams Pink Pills cured
her. Lesser troubles yield even more
readily to the potent action of this
marvellous medicine Not only will these
pills cure cases similar to Mrs. Tucker S

FERNs-M'FADDEN MATCH.
Meet at Chicago February 10, Weigh
ing in 142 Pounds

Chicago, Jan. 25.-George McFadden,
the New York featherweight, has agreed
to come here and meet "Rube" Ferns
at the America club, February TO- pro-
viding of course that Ferns is success
full in his meeting Monday night in the
same arena with Australian" Tim
Murphy Should Murphy be successful
in overthrowing the former welter-
weight champion. then of course all
negotiations will be off. But Ferns is
confident, and while he realizes that
Murphy is a hard man, he feels that the
Australian has never done anything
that the rube himself could not master.
McFadden wired the clubs match
N alxer yesterday that the offer was ac-
cepted, the weight conditions to be ZAP
pounds, which would indicate that Nc
Fadden, or Elbows" as he is known
in the east, is outgrowing the light
weight class.
The weight agreement between Ferns
and Murphy calls for $50 pounds at
noon on the day of the fight, which will
give Murphy an advantage of at least
eight pounds, as Ferns says he will
enten the ring weighing not more than
145 pounds. He is almost down to this
figure now, his training being of the
most vigorous sort.
