The Dangerous Rocks.

On the sea of life are left many
wrecks. In the majority of cases
these failures are due to the excessive
use of alcohol. One of the most prolific
causes of acquiring the alcohol habit in
these days is a frequent use of alcoholic
compounds advertised as tonics for the
cure of everything. Undoubtedly there
10 some virtue in the drugs entering into
these compounds, but the good such
drugs may do the system is counteracted
by the i'll effects of the alcohol. Many
times the persons taking these patent
medicines feel much improved for little
time through the stimulating effects of
the alcohol in the medicine, but there
is apt to be a reaction in which the per
son is much depressed and in low spirits
finally the habitual user of such a
remedy will become dependent upon its
false strength for courage to go through
her daily duties. The State of Kansas
not long ago exposed the practice of
many people buying these alcoholic COM

On the sea Of life a woman feels cast
adrift when she suffers untold pain. She
feels as though man was privileged to en-
Joy life, while woman was meant for suf-
fering It was not intended so however.

to suffer at any period. Corsets, tight

ent life have brought about an i'll con-
dition of affairs.
treatment OF the nervous system and
the womanly organism by alcoholic COM
pounds has always been, in the opinion
of Dr. R V. Pierce, who is founder and
chief medical director Of the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo,
N. Y, very bad practice. When he
set about to find the right medicine for
the treatment of womau's peculiar DIS
ease, he hit on a combination of natures
most valuable health-giving agents, a
combination of roots herbs and barks,
in a solution which did not contain a
particle of alcohol. 1t is an easy expert
ment for any one to test a medicine for
alcohol, as a simple distilling of the
liquid will prone another alcohol is con-
tanned in it or not. DR.. Pierce does not

that it will cure all diseases, or that it
will cure men. 1t is a woman's medi-
cine only, and in woman's diseases it
has been found effective in thousands of
cases. The vFavorite Prescription
