House, referring to the statement that

Backed up by over 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 proprietors and makers of
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel
fully warranted in offering TO pay $500 in
legal money for any case of Leucorrhea,
Female Weakness, Prolapsus, or Falling of
Womb, which they cannot cure. All they
ask is a fair and reasonable trial OF their
means of cure.
Very often married woman or Young
girl does not know who to turn to for ad-
vice in circumstances where she dislikes to
talk with the family physician about deli
cate matters. AT such times write to Dr.
R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician to
the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
of Buffalo, -. Y, for free consultation and
advice, and the same will be held as sa-
credly confidential. tits foolish to consult
women friends or persons without medical
training.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription con-
tains no alcohol, is entirely vegetable and
was the first exclusively woman's tonic on
the market-it has sold more largely in
the past third Of century than any other
medicine for women.
All other compounds intended for women
only are made with alcohol, or alcohol is a
large componeut-this alcohol Injuries the
nerves. The little red corpuscles of the
blood are shrunken by alcohol. All such
compounds. therefore, do harm.

One Of the most beautiful turtles in
the world is found in Africa, and few
fine specimens were recently captured
there and taken to Europe. That they
will thrive in strange country is by no
means certain, though few natural
lists, who have spent some months in
German East Africa and who have
carefully studied these turtles, are
confident that they will quickly be-
come acclimatized. The beauty Of
these torpid and rather ungainly ami
mails is in the shell, which covers and
protects almost the entire body. I'M
like that Of the ordinary turtle, which
is singularly lacking in richness and
variety Of color, this shell attracts the
eye at once by the beautiful gold and
brown stripes which run down it and
by the little clusters Of crimson which
are found here and there.-Detroit
