poor, particularly on high lands, and
the absence of rain in some sections
has practically ruined many fields. The
drought is persistent over the central

are dropping badly. Pineapple and

West Virginia in better fighting trim
for many years than they are now. All
OF the old wheel horses. including for
mer Senators Henry G. Davis and Cam

ton to work for party success. Mr..
Davis is being urged to run for Gov

race to help along the cause. He is
easily the most popular and influential
Democrat in the state. and his name
at the head Of the state ticket means
thousands of votes which otherwise
might not be polled.
In West Virginia there is a strong
German sentiment, but above all is
the desire to select the best man who
may be presented at st. Louis. This
is the feeling expressed by all shades
Of Democrats who come to Washing

Each sample was tested separat ~
for alcohol (ethyl alcohoD and each

ton of each bottle, was examined for
the alkaloids of opium and for digitalis,

have been using DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription with much success in
treatment of the various female COM
plants. For young girls just changing
to womanhood it is an excellent medi-
cine to tide them through that change,
and for all irregularities of the monthly
period l find it the remedy. For preg-
nant women | use it to tone up and
strengthen the delicate organs Of gen

suit against the publication max

employed this Prescription in large
practice, and finding that it cured the
diseases and weaknesses of women in
almost every case, he put it up in a
form that could be easily procured at
any drug store. It has enioyed the
confidence of the public for the past
thirty-eight years, and during that time
has had a larger sale than any other

who has tried it recommends it to her
friends. DIR. R. V. Pierce is willing to
offer 81 900 reward to any one proving
that DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription

harmful drugs. This Prescription is
natures cure, because it is a pure COM

intended for the one single purpose of
curing female weakness and the pains
and drains incident to that distressing
complaint. One of the largest whole
