THE MARRIAGE QUESTION.

The professor who announced that "love
and romance die out with the sound Of the
wedding bells" was the first to start the
ball rolling. II would seem a brave woman
who rnarries with this echo in her ears, yet
we have not heard that there were fewer
marriages during the year There are un-
happy married lives, but large percentage
of these unhappy homes are due to the i'll
ness Of the wife, mother or daughter.
During long period OF practice, Doctor
Pierce found that prescription made up
entirely of roots and herbs without the use
of alcohol cured ninety-eight per cent. OF
such cases. After using this remedy for
many years In his private practice he put
il up in a form that can be had at any store
where medicines are handled.
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 FavoTite Prescription now feel
fully warranted in offering to pay $500 in
legal money Of the United States, for any
case Of Leuconhea, Female Weakness, Pro
lapsus, or Falling of Womb which they can
not cure. All they ask is fair and reason
able trial of their means Of cure.
