be worth knowing that there is In the

Thackeray,s Facia, Annear.nc..

In 1S49 or 1850 Charlotte Bronte
wrote of Thackeray: ITO me the broad
brow seems to express intellect. Ger
tain lines about the nose and cheek be-
tray the satirist and the cynic; the
mouth indicates a cbildlike simplicity,
perhaps even degree Of irresoluteness
In neutrality-suspicious., in short, but
weakness not unamiable." And Mr..
Motley, writing to his wife in 1858,
said: Il believe you have never seen
Thackeray. He has the appearance Of
a colossal infant-smooth, white, shin
ing, ringlety hair, faxen, alas, with adj
vancing years; roundish face with q
little dab of a nose, upon which it is a
perpetual wonder how he keeps his
spectacles."
This broken nose was always source
Of amusement to Thackeray himself.
He carlcatured it in his drawing, he
frequently alluded to it in his speech
and in his letters, and he was fond of
repeating Douglas Jerrold's remark to
him when he was to stand as godfather
to a friends son, Lord, Thackeray,

Many mothers of families in the United
States have reason to be grateful to the
person who recommended DR.. Pierce S
Favorite Prescription. This is medi-
cine specially prescribed for diseases of
womankind. It does not cure eczema,
catarrh in all its forms, nor heart dis
ease, for it is put up for the single Pg1-
tose of Curing diseases peculiar to rom
en-. 1t has a reputation of over thirty
five years of cures, and has sold more
largely on this continent than any other
medicine for women. Another point in
its favor-it does not contain a single
drop of alcohol or of any narcotic. 1t
is purely vegetable. An alcoholic COM
pound for women is something no wom-
an should take. Woman1y weakness
will always bring on. nervous irritability
and a nervous condition, for which alco-
hol is the worst thing in the world.
What the woman needs is a vegetable
tonic, like DIR. Pierce's Favorite Pre-.
scription, which will build up her deli
cate system and bring about healthy
tone. It cures the drains and weak
nesses of women, and the manufacturers
offer to pay $500 reward for any case Of
Leucorrhea, Female Weakness, Pro1ap-
sus, or Falling of Womb. which they
cannot cure. All they ask is fair and
reasonable trial.
If you want to know what ais you
the United States mail will bring you
the best medical advice for only the cost
of writing materials and stamps.
Many people owe their present good
health to the fact that they consulted
DR.. Pierce by letter, giving him all pos
sibie information about their condition,
symptoms, ETC., and received in return
good medical advice zUbfcH cost them
nothing This is why we advise you tc
write to DR.. R. v. Pierce, the founder
of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical In
stitute, at Buffalo, N. Y.
DIR. Pierce by no means confines him
self to prescribing his well-known medi
cines. He tells you in the most com
nonsense way what ais you, what 20,
ought to do, what line of treatmen
should be followed out in your particular
case, and if your case does not indicate
the need of his proprietary medicine. h'
