Favorite Prescription for the many ills

Gertrude Mitchell president Young La

Columbia, E., Detroit, Mich. vAfter
many years of suffering and pain took

pains which had been my lot for so long.
Continued its use until l was a well

very grateful that it was brought to my
notice. have no pains, and feel much
stronger generally"
The above is fair portrait of Miss
Mitchell, in the looking-glass although
it by no means does her Justice, as she is
much handsoner than a mere sketch
like this can portray. The fact is a
woman can't look beautiful that is drag
ged down with pains at regular inter-
walls, who suffers from headaches, back
aches, or spine-aches, frequently. Such
a woman soon acquires wrinkles, sal
low complexion, dark circles about the
eyes, and general feeling of weakness,
which brings misery of mind and body.
To keep ones good looks the body must
be healthy-the feminine functions must
be regular. Woman was not intended
to suffer, and there is no reason why she
should. A healthy body will usually be
a shapely body, and no means at hand
Will more quickly restore the womanly
functions to a healthy state than DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
DIR. Pierce, during a long period of
practice, found that this prescription
made entirely of roots and herbs, with
out the use of alcohol, was positive in
its action. After using this remedy for
many years in his private practice he
put it up in form that would make It
easily procurable, and it can be had at
any store where medicines are handled.

BIG STOCKS ACTIVE.
Union Pacific, Baltimore b Ohio and
United States Steel Bought in Large
Blocks--Rise Continues for a Time,
but a Reaction Carries Prices Down

New York, Dec. 30.-Today there was very
heavy opening demand for Union Pacific Balti-
more Ohio and the United States Steel stocks.
Ihe buying otherwise was widely distributed,
but In smaller lots. Gains, were small thruout.
Ten thousand shares of Union Pacific sold at 115

Buying orders flowed into the market an
increasing scale, blocks Of thousand and more
shares being frequently dealt in Prices got
higher all around under the aggressive rise in
various leaders, particularly Union Pacific.
Northern Pacific, Baltimore & Ohio Amalgama ted
Copper and Sugar. These favorites, as well
as North Western, Illinois Central, General Elec-
trio and several others rose a point,
and st. Louis & San Francisco pre-.
ferred points. Realizing forced a
reaction before II o'clock and several stocks
fell below yesterdays closing. including Read
ing, Louisville & Nashville, st. Paul, Amalga-
mated Copper and United States Steel preferred.
The reaction carried several leaders good

rise of point in Rock Island. The market
then became dull. Consolidated Gas lost n

Prices hardened slowly for time, but th'
