The Meaning of Historic.

One Of my artistic friends was upon
business visit to a picturesque dis
trict Of Perthshire the other day. A
little leisure was afforded him by the
wait between trains. and he asked a
native II there were any historic places
In the neighborhood. so that he might
spoil a film or two. with which he had
loaded his camera. mo. there's no
onything historic aboot the place. The
Black castle up by there used to be
historic. but it's no sac historic moor
What that bucolic individual imagined
the word historic to mean is not very
apparent by the reply.-Glasgow Times.

Backed up by over a third of century
of remarkable and uniform cures, a record
such as no other remedy for the diseases
and weaknesses peculiar to women ever
attained. the proprictors and makers of
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel
fully warranted in offering to pay $500 in
legal money of the United States. for any
case of LeucorThea, Female Weakness.
PTolapsus or Falling of Womb which they
cannot cure. All they ask is a fair and
reasonable trial of their means of cure.
Their financial responsibility Is well
known to every newspaper publisher and
druggist in the United States. with most
of whom they have done business for over
a third of a century. From this fact IT will
readily be seen how utterly foolish it would
be for them to make the above unprece-
dented and remarkable offer if they were
not basing their offer on curative means
having an unparalleled record. No other
medicine than Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription could possibly win out as the
saying goes, on such a proposition. But
they know whereof they speak. They have
the most remarkable record of cures made
by this world famed remedy ever placed to
the credit of any preparation especially
designed for the cure of woman's peculiar
ailments. This wonderful remedy, there
fore, stands absolutely alone as the only
one possessed of such remarkable curative
properties as would warrant its makers in
publishing such a marvellous offer as is
above made in the utmost good faith
