WELCOME WORDS
TO WOMEN.

Women who suffer with disorders pecu-
liar TO their sex should write TO DIR. Pierce
and receive free the advice OF physician
Of over forty years experience-a skilled
and successful specialist In the diseases
of women. Every letter has the most
careful consideration and Is regarded as
sdcredly confidential. Many sensitively
modest women write fully TO DIR. Pierce
what they would shrink from telling to
their local physician. The local physician
Is pretty sure to say that he cannot do
anything without I" an examination" DR..
Pierce holds that these distasteful exam
nations are generally needless, and that
no woman, except in rare cases, should
submit to them.
DIR. Pierce's treatment cures In the
privacy OF your home. His "Favorite
Prescription" has cured hundreds Of
thousands OF bad cases. It Is the only
medicine. Of its kind that is the product
OF regularly graduated physician. Some
inscriptions medicine dealers may offer

the boat, reducing the jar to a mini,
mum.
The section of the landing stage
nearest the boat-known technically
as the bridge-is not constructed on
the usual pontoon principle, but is
raised and lowered mechanically
without reference to the tide. Heavy
metal weights on either side counter
balance the weight of the bridge,
which is close upon one hundred
tons, so that very little power is re-
quired to operate it. A pull on a wire
rope sets the machinery in motion
and the bridge Is raised u lowered
in a moment to the level of the in
coming boat, with the same ease and
accuracy that an elevator boy stops
his car at the floor where n wishes
to alight.
Leaving the boat passengers pass
out TO the right of the waiting room
along a smooth, asphalted walk.
Alongside this walk is the roadway
for teams, fioored with creosoted
wood block, forming a durable and

while at the other extremity of the
ferry-house, close to the landing
stage and under the same roof is the
cab stand. Here electric cabs and
coupes are always in waiting. This
service, operated by the New York
Transportation Company, conveys
one or two persons anywhere within

Builder. 81

Our well-known druggist; Mr.. @.
A. Sexton, is very enthusiastic over
the delicious cod liver oil prepara-
ton, which contains no oil. In re-
ferring to the matter, said Mr.. Sex
ton. I'VE sell many tonics, and we
handle all kinds or remedies that
claim to be invigorators and strength
creators. We do this because we are
druggists, and it is our business to
supply the public with what they
want.
when our advice is asked, how
ever, in regard to a tonic, body
builder or strength-creator, we in
variably recommend Vinol, as we
know of nothing that can compare
with 1t.
In Vinol modern science has Civ
en- us all of the tonic, bodybuilding
and curative properties of that fam
GUS old remedy cod liver oil, actual
ly taken from fresh Gods livers,
without a drop of the obnoxious and
| system-clogging grease which char
acterizes old fashioned cod liver oil
and emulsions, and which has prov
ed such a drawback.
Vinol is not a patent medicine, ms
the label on each bottle tells every
thing it contains, therefore you
know exactly what you are taking. i
In the most natural manner it
tones up the digestive organs, cree
ates a hearty appetite, makes rich.
red blood, and strengthens every or
gan in the body to DO its,work as ma
ture intended.
Our faith in VinoH is so strong that
we gladly offer to refund the money
in every case where it fails TO give
satisfaction" c. A. Sexton, Drug
