 Not only do people in public life recommend the "Favorite Prescrip- tion" but physicians in active practice also endorse it. This is what a physi- elan with more than local practice, his practice being co extensive with several counties, treatment of diseases of females being his speciality, writes:
 Yorktown, 4A,k., /Niy 90, Ioo3. DR. R. V. PIERCE, Buffalo, N. Y.:
 Dedr Szr-I am not given to writing very much, but after using remedy for years with uniform success I think 1t not out of place to write a few lines regarding same.
 After finishing my education at the Missouri Medical College (the oldest college of any kind west of Mississippi River in 1883, commenced practicing medicine in this country. For a num- Der of years 1 was very reluctant about using anything not strictly ethical. but for several years I have been using Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription with much success in treatment of the vari- ous female complaints. For young girls just changing to womanhood it is an excellent medicine to tide them through that change, and for all irregu- larities of the monthly period I find it the remedy. For pregnant women I use it to tone up and strengthen the delicate organs of generation. For laAfaa crrffarfnn O hn oc change of life it is also a splendid remedy. I know there exists a pre- judice with some doctors regarding the use of proprietary remedies, but after twenty years experience 1 have learned to use any remedy that will benefit my patients, which l consider the logical view a doctor should take of the sub- iect. Very respectfully,
 LELAND WILLIAMSON, M. D.
 Backed up by over a third of cen tury 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 of the United States for any case of Leu corrhea, Female Weakness, Prolapsus, or Falling of Womb, which they can not cure. Ali they ask is a fair and reasonable trial of their means of cure.
 THE GREAT CHICAGO DISASTER,
 in which over five hundred people lost their lives, was unavoidable, but there are hundreds of lives lost every year, due simply to ignorance and neglect of Natures Laws. By reading carefully the " Common Sense Medical Adviser" we can ward off many severe illnesses and frequently save life. This great book, complete treatise on modern medicine, was written by Dr. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y., and is sent free for 3l one-cent stamps for the cloth-bound volume, to cover wrapping and mail ing. If the paper-covered book is de- sired, send 21 stamps.

Diamond SWindIe
 Causes Big Talk
TUCSON CITIZEN SAYS MAN BUNcOED AT BIsBEE WILL
 TESTIFY.
Talk in Old Pueblo of Revokino Liquor License Held By Legal Tender Saloon, Ezra C. Bartlett, Proprietor.

The diamond swindie in Tucson re- mains the sole topic of conversation on the streets, in the clubs and the saloons The Tucson Citizen of Saturday says:
 Street discussion of the work of the bunco operators who robbed Albert Steinfeld of s10000. still continues with unabated interest The incident has served to call attention to the in- stitution of public gambling generally and there is a serious and influential movement on foot to drive the gam bling dens form Tucson.
 It is understood by many of the older people that in the old days the pro- fessional gambler was a true spor, and generally an honest man. He took his chances, he was a hale fellow well met, he did not take advantage of drunken men, he did not tolerate the use of knockout drops, he did not countenance sandbagging or scoring and had none of the elements of the highwayman or the sneak thief. Now, however, 1t is different. l. is stated that fifteen violations of the criminal statutes of Arizona occurred at the Legal Tender within two weeks not more than six weeks ago. A rec ord of these violations of law has been kept, some of them of the gravity of attempted assassination, has been kept and will probably be made the basis of a petition to the City Coun- cil to revoke the gambling and saloon license of the Legal Tender.
 There seems to be no doubt ill any ones mind that Bartlett and Harcourt worked in cooperation. More than that, there is a general belief that they are partners still. Some time ago Bartlett was away from Tucson for a considerable length of time and when he returned it was given out that ne had made an extended tour of Europe, IL is now alleged that Bartlett did not go to Europe on that occasion, and It Is said that it can be proved that liar court and himself were doing busi- ness" at various points in this coun- try at that time.
 The trial of the Steinfeld suit is looked forward to with much interest. It is said that some highly interesting testimony will be submitted. There is considerable talk of work for the

Parker Gets Support
 New York Herald
EXPRESSES CONFIDENCE IN DEM OCRATIC NOMINEE BECAUSE
 OF GOLD TELEGRAM.
Questions Roosevelt's Judgment and Self Controi-compares the Repuoli- can President to the German Elm peror.

New York, July 26.-The New York Herald tomorrow will declare itself in favor of the election of Judge Alton B. Parker for President in the follwing editorial:
 Judge Parker's telegram declaring himself for sound money has made such an impression that it may save the Democratic party in spite of itself.
 The comments it is still eliciting show that Judge Parker.s action has won the confidence of the people, and that sort of confidence President Roosevelt has not inspired His i'm perialism and his dictatoriai ways, to- gether with his revival of the race issue in the South and other rough rider fads, have awakened among the people a distrust of Mir Roosevelt and the Republican party as great as the distrust which Bryanism, sixteen to-one-ism, Populism and other freak ish isms had excited with respect to the Democrats.
 MT. Roosevelt has the support of his intimate friends and his political protege, but conservative people eye him with distrust. They acknowledge that he is irreproachable as an in- diyidual-that he is a staunch patriot, a good husband, loyal friend. But they doubt his capacity for self-con- trol, distrust his judgment and ques- tion his conception of presidential duties.
 Like the German emperor, he wishes to meddle in every detail of the public service, to control every de partment. to rule every official. to be beth the Iawmaker and the executive, to be the source of power and to sup ply it.
 Between Mir. Roosevelt's views of the Presidents duties and the views of the American people on the sub feet there is a very wide difference He evidently thinks the President of the United States is a sort Of dictator, while the people rightly regard him merely as their chief magistrate. as the executive head of the administra tion This domineering conception ol his official duties has excited wide spread resentment among Republicans and has led him to make mistake; that would have prevented his nomi nation if the Republican party had any other available candidate.

loss of control over herself, which is really not her fault but due to the func- tions and weaknesses peculiarly fem mine. Often she loses her friends or her position through this nervous break down. Here is the experience of a beautiful woman of the Theatrical Pro- fession, whose portrait is given above. Miss Dorothy La Mar, whose home ad- dress is 9i0 North Main Street, Water bury, Conn.,, writes:
 Notwithstanding the long hours and fatigue incident to my profession, I have none of the physical discourage ments that are usual with women of the stage. My excellent health is due to the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre- scription. A few years ago I was fear fully rundown. 1 was on the verge of nervous prostration. I had little con trol of myself and was in danger of becoming hysterical, even when singing. 1 was determined to keep up, however, and consulted specialist in New York but his treatment did not benefit me. Some one recommended Dr. Pierce s Favorite Prescription. I took a few bottles of it and completely recovered.
