DON'T BE HYPNOTISED,

Hoodwinked, hoOdooed, or over-persuaded
into accepting substitute for Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription with its
record of nearly 10 years, embracing
hundreds of thousands of cures Of
woman's peculiar ailments. It's the only
remedy for woman's ills sold by drug
gists, that is not full of "booze e"-poOr
whisky, or bad alcohol.

TFavorite Prescription contains no alco-
hol, opium or other harmful drug. Keeps
in any climate.
"Favorlte Prescription" is a powerful
invigoratlng tonic, and imparts strength

and its appendages in particular. For
overworked "worn-out, "run-down," de-

ers, seamstresses, "shop-girls," house,
keepers, nursing mothers, and feeble

Prescription is the greatest earthly boon,

It's an insult to your intelligence for a
dealer to attempt to palm off upon you
an alcoholic substitute for this world
famed medicine. You hpoiO what you
want. It's his business to meet that
tCGIlt. When he urges some substitute
he's thinking of the larger profit he'll
make-not OF your welfare.

COMPANY
CENSURED

Burlington. VT. Dec. 27.-The Buring-
ton Traction company is severely cen
sured in the report Of the state railroad
commissioners made public today on the
accident in this city on Oct. T. when two
OF the company's cars collided and 16
persons were injured
The commissioners state that they can
take no action, however as the law does
not give them power under the cirCum-
stances. The company claimed that the
accident was due to dry leaves on the
tracks. making the wheels slip but the
commissioners deny this and declare that
the collision occurred because one OF the
cars was overcrowded and I'm charge of
an inexperienced motorman, and that he
had no written orders TO meet another
car at any place the scene of the acct
dent being at switch seldom used
The report states further that the Gus
tom OF employing inexperienced men and
operating cars without specific orders
prevails on nearly every electric railroad
in the state and they designate Il as a
rash practice"
