Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription
stands alone, as the one and only remedy
for leucorrhea, female weakness, pro-
lapsus, or falling of the womb, so abso-
lutely specific and sure in curing these
common ailments of women as to war
rant its makers in offering to pay, as
they hereby do, the sum of $500 reward
for a case of the above maladies which
they can not cure. This is remarkable
offer No other medicine for the cure
of woman's peculiar ailments is backed
by such a remarkable guarantee. No
other medicine for woman's ills is pos
sessed of the unparalleled curative pro-
perties that would warrant its makers
in publishing such an offer; no other rem
edy has such a record of a third of q
century of cures on which to base such
a remarkable offer.
Miss Emma Weller, who is Secretary OF the
Young Peoples Christian Association at 1878

Rai.in, Bread Without Rai.lns.

Francis Wilson, the comedian, was
heartily tired Of the topic. which was
dogs. The stories ventilated were SO
fanciful that he ventured to terminate
the flights of Imagination.
"A dog once prevented us from eat
ing bread which my mother was pre-
pairing" began Mr.. Wilson, forcefully.
THE pan of dough was placed on a
small stool before the fire. A dog
and a cat took up positions under
either side Of the projecting bread
pan. During the night the cat had oc-
casion to get up. She bumped her
back and destroyed the equilibrium
Of the dough, upsetting it on the sleep
ing dog. The weight of the bread
kept the dog down, and he was being
slowly smothered to death"
Ibid the poor dog die?" asked lady
in the group, concernedly.
NO" continued Mr.. Wilson earnest
ly, the dog was saved. The heat
in his body caused the bread to rise,
and the dog walked out from beneath
it."
"Raisin' bread without raisins," re-
marked the last man Of the rapidly
disappearing company.
