He looked little more than twenty
years of age, but Bernard was in fact
twenty-four. His appearance was a
little conspicuous. He was noticeably
tall. being two or three inches over
six feet. with rather wide sloping
shoulders. and a long neck. He
carried himself well, and his apparel
was unexceptionable. His face was
long and spare. tresh-looking and
agreeable. his skin was pink, and
white as a girls. his hair distinctly
yellow.

M,LLioNAIRE's POOR STOMACH

The WORKOUT stomach of the over-fed
millionaire is often paraded in the public
prints as horrible example of the evils
attendant on the possession of great
wealth. But millionaires are not the
only ones who are afflicted with bad
stomachs. The proportion is far greater
among the toilers. Dyspepsia and indi-
gestion are rampant among these people
and they suffer far worse tortures than
the millionaire unless they avail them
selves of standard medicine like Green's
August Flower. which has been favor
lite household remedy for all stomach
troubles for over thirty-five years. Aug
ust Flower rouses the torpid liver, thus
creating appetite and insuring perfect
digestion. 1t tones and vitalizes the en-
tire system and makes life worth living,
no matter what your station. Trial

WELCOME WORDS TO WOMEN.

From the view point Of the average
man homework is very easy. The wife
is right at home. She is her own mis-
tress. She can sit down and rest any
time. She can even go to bed for nap
il she feels like it. She can order her
household affairs just to suit her own
convenience. II she doesn't feel equal
to doing work to-day, she can do it
tomorrow. That's the beautiful theory
OF the average man.
Just suppose the Egyptian task-mas-
ters, when they made the required
daily tale of bricks tax the uttermost
of human strength, had said to the
toiling slaves, Don't hurry, take a
rest every now and then - only don't
forget that your tale of bricks must
be all right at night or else there'll be
trouble"
There's the fact. There are the
days duties to be got through, and the
women who can rest may not. The
woman, who, when she married, said,
NOW, I'll be my own MISTRESS" finds
herself slave to household cares and
duties.
And oh how much that woman
needs rest sometimes. She brushes and
scrubs, and rolls pastry, her temples
throbbing, her back aching, her nerves
quivering under the stress of pain.
What she would give il she could just
creep upstairs and throw herself on the
bed in darkened room and rest.
Rest would temporarily relieve the
strain; doubtless, but it would be the
same story over again tomorrow. The
real need of weak, nervous women is
strength, and that need is fully met
and satisfied by DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. 1t makes weak women
strong and sick women well. 1t re-
moves the causes of women's weak
ness, tranquilizes and invigorates the
nerves, encourages the appetite and
induces restful sleep. rFavorite Pre-
scription" is positive cure for the
most complicated and obstinate cases
of leucorrhea, excessive flowing, pain
full menstruation, unnatural suppress
sions and irregularities, prolapsus or
falling of the womb, weak back, wfemale
weakness" anteversion, retroversion,
bearing down sensations, chronic con-
gestion, inflammation and liberation
of the womb, Inflammation, pain and
tenderness of the ovaries, accompanied
with rinternal heat"
rI am pleased to add my testimony
in behalf of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription," writes Miss Earline Agard,
Chaplin, Patriotic Daughters of Amer
lea, OF 4l3H Michigan Avenue, Lansing,
Mich. 81 cannot find language to ex-
press my gratitude and Joy over the
fact that am well once more. Wear
ing my corsets too tight seemed to have
brought on an extra abdominal pres

pushing the internal organs down.

cines l took seemed to help me.

Prescription and determined to try

made of native roots-Nature's own
restoratives, compounded after form
ula concerning which there can be no
question, by skilled chemists and by
thoroughly scientific processes. Doctor
Pierce is perfectly willing to let every
one know that his rFAvoRITE Pre-
sCRIPTIoN" contains Blue Cohosh root,
Lady's Slipper root, Unicorn root, Black
Cohosh root and Golden Seal root.
Every doctor knows that such a pre-
scription is beneficial in the diseases
of women and when properly COM
pounded is certain to effect a cure in
nearly all cases when given fair trial.
Every bottle of the cFAvoRITE PRE-
sCRIPTIoN" which leaves DR.. Pierce's
immense laboratories in Buffalo, n. Y,
has plainly printed upon its wrapper
all the ingredients of which it is COM
posed. Thus DR.. Pierce proves to the
world his own confidence in the rem
edy which for forty years has borne
his name and which is known all
through the United States and Canada,
England, Australia, and in parts Of
South America, Africa and Asia, as a
sovereign cure for those diseases which,
unchecked, make our women old be-
fore their time.
1t will be noticed that there is no
alcohol in the uFAvoRITE PREsCRIP-
TON" DR.. Pierce never believed in
using alcohol in the preparation of bis
famous household remedies. For it, he
substitutes chemically pure glycerine,
which has wonderful properties for ex-
tracing the medicinal principles of
roots and preserving them at their full
strength, without any deleterious effect
whatever.
In favor of DR.. Pierce's medicines
is the frank, confding, open, honest
statement of their full composition,
giving every ingredient in plain Es-
glish, without fear of successful criti-
cism and with confidence that the
good sense of the afflicted will lead
them to appreciate this honorable man
ner OF confiding TO them what they are
taking into their stomachs when max
ing use of these medicines.
DIR. Pierce feels that he can afford to
take the afflicted into his full conf
dence and lay all the ingredients Of
his medicines freely before them be-
cause these ingredients are such a.
are endorsed and most strongly praised
by scores OF the most eminent medical
writers of all the several schools Of
practice as cures for the diseases for
which these medicines are recon-
mended.
