WHO CANNOT BE CURED.

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 of the United States for any
case of Leucorrhea, Female Weakness,
Prolapsus, or Falling of Womb, which they
cannot cure. All they ask is fair and
reasonable trial of their means of cure.
NJ was great sufferer for six years and doc
tored all the time with a number Of physicians
but did not receive any benefit" writes Mrs.
tsouth). Michigan. NJ had given up all hope Of
ever getting better. Thought would write to
you. When received your letter telling me

eat or sleep. Now l can thank you for my
recovery"
Don't hesitate to write to Dr. RV Pierce,
chief consulting physician to the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo.
NY, If you want good medical advice from
a fully qualified physician as to your per-
answered free of charge and confdentially.
A medicine which has outsold all others
for women in the past third of q
century and being recommended by all
those who have used it, is a good remedy
to tie to. DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton is purely vegetable and does not con-
tain a particle Of alcohol to destroy the
blood corpuscles and weaken the system.
Do not permit the dealer to insult your
intelligence by suggesting some other COM
pound which he recommends as "just -
good" because he makes it himself.

salmon ration . week, the Japanese
have purchased enough salmon on the
Pacific Coast in the last few weeks to
feed an army OF $4,000 for six mon tbs.

fortress, she struck the mine and
sank almost Immediately. The large
loss of life was owing to the fact tina,
the men were ready for action and
standing by their guns, which gave
them no opportunity for escape when
the ship upset.
