sh,k.s,eare and .Hiawatha.

An American schoolboy has written
IN essay on the Merchant Of Venice"
full of original matter. This is his
view of Portia: "Portia was a kind
and true.hearted young lady; she was
very good-natured, especially to some
Of her gentleman friends, when those
young men was going to choose their
collins" But the gem of the article
relates to Shakespeare himself. "The
story was written by Shakespeare,
who married Hiawatha. He was born
in Venice, where he and the merchant
shot arrows of the same fly when
boys. It was here that he learned to
season mercy with Justice" Anne
Hathaway turned into Hiawatha Is a
really interesting case of arrangement

Is ABSOLUTELY PURE
NATURES OWN RESTORATiVES
IN FAVoRlTE PRESCRIPTION.
Dr.. Pierce Announces the ingredients
of the Family Medicines Which
Have Made His Name Household
Word in the World.

With all the recent talk about patent
medicines and the determined effort IN
certain quarters to cast discrcdlt upon
all household remedies which come I'M
der that head, the fact remains thaC
some of these medicines are SO firmly
established in popular favor ana con-
fldence, have so proved their worth
and value that all the denunclatlons
of bigots cannot destroy the people
faith in them.
One Of the best known of these rem
edies Is DR.. Pjerce's Favorite PreScrlp
ton, a medicine which for years mas
been accepted by the people as a stan
dard preparation for the cure OF those
ailments to which women alone are
subject and which has proved to be
certain cure in nine cases out OF Ten
and a sure relief in the other one.
There is nothing to conceal aDou'
the Fayorite Prescription. 1t IS an aO'
solutely pure medicine-made OF rootS
and herbs, Natures own restoratlVes.
DIR, Pierce is perfectly willing TO let
every one know that his Favorite Pre-
scrjption contains Blue COhosh tCaulo-
pbylTum ThaIictr0desl, Black CohoSh
(Cimicifuga RaCemosa), Lady's snip
Der (Cypripedium Pubescens) and
Golden Seal (Hydrastis CanadenSlS)
Every doctor knows that such pre-
scription is beneficial in the diseases
of women and when properly COM
Doupded is certain to effect a cure IN
practically all cases when given fair
trial. Hereafter every bottle OF the
Fayorite Prescription will plainly tell
of what the medicine is composed
Thus DR.. Pierce will once more prove
to the world his own confidence IN the
remedy which for forty years has
borne his name and which is known all
over the world as sovereign cure for
those diseases which, unchecked, make
our women old before their time.
There is no alcohol in the Favorite
Prescription. DR.. Pierce never be-
Iieved in using alcohol in the prepare
tion of his famous household remedies
For it he substituted chemically pure
glycerine, which has wonderful prop
critics for extracting the medicinal
principles of roots and herbs and barks
and preserving them at their tul
strength, without any deleterious Ell
feet whatever.
Your druggist sells the Favorite
Prescription and also that famous
Alternative and blood purifier, the Gold
en- Medical Discovery. Write to Dr
Pierce about your case. He is a we'll
qualified physician and will treat you
