THE r1ARRIAGE 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. 1t would
seem brave woman who marries with
this echo in her ears, yet we have not
heard that there were fewer marriages
during the year. There are unhappy
married lives, but a large percentage of
these unhappy homes are due to the
illness of the wife, mother or daughter.
Very often married woman or
young girl does not know to whom to
turn for advice in circumstances where
she dislikes to talk with the family ply
stefan about delicate matters. At such
times write to DR.. r.. v. Pierce, chief
consulting physician to the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo,
N. Y, for free consultation and advice,
and the same will be held as sacredly
confidential. 1t is foolish to consult
women friends or persons without med.
Sical training.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
contains no alcohol, is entirely yegeta-
BILE and was the first exclusively wom-
ans tonic on the market-it has sold
more largely in the past third of cent
ury than any other medicine for
women.
All other compounds intended for
women only are made with alcohol, or
alcohol is large component-this aleo-
hol Injuries the nerves. The little red
corpuscles of the blood are shrunken by
alcohol. All such compounds, there
fore, do harm.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets invigor-
ate the stomach, liver and bowels. Use
them with the "Favorite Prescription "
when pill is required. One is laxa-
tive, two mild cathartic.
All women should read DR.. Pierce's
thousand-page illustrated book, " The
Peoples Common Sense Medical Adj

comprehensive advice on medical SUBJ

Apples and peaches continue to drop; apples Will be a poor crop and peaches fair crop. Pastures and ranges are good, and stock is generally healthy and doing well
