The unwarrantable attack of some
editor upon the good name of a medi-
cine which has been recommended bv
mothers and women in all stations of
life, claiming that it contains 17% alco-
hol and other injurious ingredients, will
be answered, for DR.. R. V. Pierce, the
wldely-known physician and founder
of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical In
stitute, at Buffalo, N. Y, has brought
suit against the publication max
ing this unfOunded attack, claiming
100000 damages. The sworn com
plant shows that the statements con-
corning our remedy made by this
publication are wholly and absolutely
false IN every particular, and that the
medicine contains no deleterious ingre-
dents whatever, and none OF the Ingre-
dents stated in the article so published.
If you question the purity of Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription, send a
bottle to the health department of your
city for analysis. DIR. r. V. Pierce is a
specialist in the diseases of women, and
employed this Prescription in a 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. 1t has enjoyed the
confidence Of the public for the past
thirty-eight years, and during that time
has had a larger sale than any other
woman's tonic, for almost every woman
who has tried it recommends it to her
friends. DIR. r. V. Pierce is willing to
offer ST 900 reward to any one proving
that DIR. Pierce's FavOrite Prescription
does or ever did contain any alcohol or
harmful drugs. This Prescription Is
natures cure, because 1t is a pure COM
pound of medicinal plants and roots,
scientifically extracted and combined,
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
sale drug houses in this country, writ
ing from Philadelphia, stated, that after
heir attention was called to the article
in the publication mentioned, they asked
the most prominent chemist in Phila-
delphia, DIR. Lehman, to procure a
bottle of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton and report concerning the analysis.
They say: We received the following
report:
q In response to a request from you
we have tested a sample of the article
sold as DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton, and have not been able to find
either alcohol or opium in the same"

WORLDS DIsPENsARY MEDICAL Asso-
CATION, City:
GeNtLenle9l-Three original sealed bot
ties of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton were purchased by me at different
stores in this city. These samples have
been carefully examined with the fol-
lowing results
Each sample was tested separately
for alcohol (ethyl alcohol) and each
was found to be free from that sub
stance. A sample, consisting of a por-
ton of each bottle, was examined for
the alkalOIds of opium and for digitalis,
and well-known and very sensitive tests
show the absence of these substances.
The work mentioned has been thor
ough and I am certain that common
alcohol opium and digitaIis are not
present an the samples examined.

DR.. r. V. PIERCE, Buffalo, n. Y:
Dear Sri am not giving to writing
very much, but after using a remedy
for years with uniform success I think
it not out of place to write a few lines
regarding same.
After finishing my education at the
old Missouri Medical College (the old
est college of any kind west of Missis-
sippi River, in 1888, I commenced
practicing medicine in this country.
For a number of years I was very re-
luctant about using anything not
strictly ethical, but for several years 1
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 I find it the remedy. For preg-
nant women l use 1t to tone up and
strengthen the delicate organs OF gen
Grafton. For ladies suffering about the
change of life it is also a splendid rem
edy. I know there exists a prejudice
with some doctors regarding the use Of
proprietary remedies, but after twenty
years experience, I have learned to use
any remedy that will benefit my pa
tents, which I consider the logical view
a doctor should take on the subject.
Very respectfully,

OLDEST CLOCK in ENGLAND.
Erected In 1320 In One of the Tower.
of Peterborough Cathedral.


of Peterborough Cathedral.
Peterborough cathedral has the old
est working clock in England. II was
erected about 1870 and is probably the
work Of a monastic clockmaker 1t is
the only one now known that is wound
up over an old wooden wheel This
wheel is about twelve feet in circum-
ference. and the galvanized cable.
about 300 feet in length. supports a
leaden weight OF three hundredweight
which has to he wound up daily.
The clock il said 10 be of much more
primitive construction than that made
by Henry de Nick for Charles V. of
France in 1870. The clock chamber
Is in the northwest tower, some 100
feet high. where the sunlight has not
penetrated for hundreds Of years. and
the winding is done by the light OF a
candle
The gong is the great tenor bell OF
the cathedral which weighs thirty
two hundredweight. and IL is struck
hourly by an eighty pound hammer
The going and the striking parts OF
the clock are some yards apart, com
munication being by a slender wire.
The clock has no dial. The time II

capement. which goes round once in
two hours.-LOndon Chronicle.
