The woman Who suf-
fers from weakness and
disease of the distinctly
feminine organs, whether
she realizes it or not, is
being slowly but surely
tortured to death. She
suffers almost continu-
ally with sick headache.
She has pains in the
back, what she calls
wstitchesD in the side
and shooting pains ev-
where. She experiences
burning and dragging
down sensations. She
becomes weak, nervous
and respondent. If she.
consults the average ply
stefan, there is not one
chance in ten that he, will
hit upon the real cause of
her trouble. He will at
trih,1fe her bad feelings

MADISON. VISA ssemblynan r. IL.
Lord Of River Falls had narrow escape
from death while on his way to Madison.
At Woodville he got off the Omaha train
to assist a lady to alight, and as soon as
she stepped on the platform the train
started.
Mr.. Lord tried to catch the next car
but it was vestibuled and he fell, one leg
going Between the train and platform SO
close to the wheels that a portion Of one
of his shoes was cut away, his leg badly
bruised and he would certainly have rolled
under the train had not a bys5tander
caught and held him till the last two cars
went by. The train stopped and took
him aboard again, and he came on to
Madison.

suffer in silence rather than subject
themselves to the abhorrent and hu-
initiating examinations and local
treatment SO uniformly insisted upon
by physicians.
Female weakness" can be cured
surely, speedily - without exposure,
with slight expense leaving
your own home. Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription will cure any disorder or
disease Of the organs distinctly femi-
nine. Perhaps its greatest usefulness
is in preparing women for the ordeal
of childbirth. Taken during the ex-
pectant period it practically elimi-
mates pain and danger at the time of
parturition.
Write DR.. Pierce for advice and you
will receive an immediate answer and
without cost to you. All correspond
ence strictly confidential.
We also advise all women who suf-
fer great pain at each recurring period
to take good vegetable laxative, such
| as DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, Just
previous to this time, as constipation
is usually an aggravating feature of
the trouble.
Don't allow the druggist to sell you
something rjust as good" because
it's cheaper. The cheap kind has not
the thousands of cures to its credit
that DR.. Pierce's medicine has.

r. Y. Pierre as follows::
: ST was back in my old home
when your letter came. I will

good | received from your medi-
cines. For over one year I suf-
fered from what my physician
pronounced womb trouble. Had
sdoctored with doctors in the east
and also in the west but found
only temporary relief. The next
time of my sickness / found my
self no better, and in that way it
kept going on from time to time
until I became discouraged. I
finally resolved to write you for
advice. | purchased two bottles
of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription, two walls of his Pleas
ant Pellets, and by using only
that small quantity I have found
wonderful relief. / say to all
who are suffering from troubles
similar to mine that it is unnec-
essary to be sick when one can

OCTOGENARIAN'S HOPE.
COntemplates Return to Chi
cagO Gin a Few Years."

Admiration for Chicago, amounting
almost to love for the western metrop-
oils, is seen daily in people who have
made their homes elsewhere, says the
Chicago Tribune. This was illustrated
the other day in Buffalo, when a man
80 years old lauded the city in which he
had been a pioneer, and which he had
not seen since he was youth.
Two Chicago women, waiting for a
train in Buffalo, entered queer old gen.
eral store near the river. An old man,
putting a clay pipe, ordered his clerks
to bring chairs, and sat down to enter
tain his visitors.
do you live in Buffalo?" he asked.
The women answered that their homes
were in Chicago.
well, declared" said the merchant,
joyfully. "That the finest place on
earth. 1 used to live there so years ago;
had a store in South Water street. I
tell you it was a great place for young
mani Ferdinand Jones owned a lot on
the north side, and you could buy big
chunk of State street for $4,000.
"I'm going to sell out here in a few
years and go back and open another
store there. There's lot of money to
be made there yet"
The visitors hurried away to catch
their train and left the merchant OF four
score years contemplating his return to
Chicago Gin few years."

MAN-OF-WAR MESSING.
System I'm Vogue on Uncle SANS Gum
boats Is Necessarily Very
Stringent.

The messing system on board a big
man-of-war is as complex and complete
as the table service of big hotel. The
modern warship, with its five or six hun
dred persons on board, must be float
ing hotel and storehouse in itself, writes
Mrs. George M. Stackhouse, in Gun
toms Magazine. Every vessel of the
navy is requiSed by the regulations gov
erning the navy to have general mess
ing system. The enlisted men on ship
are dividedinto squads of about 20 each,
forming a mess. Chief petty officers
and officers servants are not included
in this division. Every mess has one or
two petty officers at its table, who fare
like the men. Every mess has its spe-
cial messman who brings the food from
the galley and serves it at the table. 1t
Is also the messman's duty to see that
the messtable and messgear are clean
and in order. The messes on board ship
are under the direct supervision of the
commissary department, which is under
the control OF the pay officers.
