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 discredit upon
all household remedies which come un-
der that head, the fact remains that
some Of these medicines are SO firmly
established in popular favor and con-
fldence, have so proved their worth
and value, that all the denunciations
Of bigots cannot destroy the peoples
faith In them.
One of the best known Of these rem
edies is DR.. ,Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
tion, q medicine which for years has
been accepted by the people as 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 about
the Favorite Prescription. It is an alb
solutely pure medjcine-made of roots
and herbs, Natures own restoratives-
DR.. Pierce is perfectly willing to let
every one know that his Favorite Pro-
scription contains Blue Cohosh (Caulo-
phyllum Thalictroides), Black Cohosh
(Cimicifuga Racemosa), Lady's Slip

Golden Seal (Hydrastis Canadensis).
Every doctor knows that such pro-
scription is beneficial in the diseases
Of women and when properly COM
pounded is certain to effect q cure In
practically all cases when given fair
trial. Hereafter every bottle Of the
Favorite 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 a sovereign cure for
those diseases which, unchecked, make
our women old before their time.
There is no alcohol in the Favorfte

Give Russia the Credit

It is singular fact that Russia is
the country which first gave the great
est encouragement to the woman doc
tor. The Woman's Medical Institute
in st. Petersburg, on it's foundation
was hailed as the only place in the
world where woman could take out
medical degrees. But, in 1886 Min
lister Warrowsky closed it. Now il
has suddenly come to life again, the
car has given it an endowment, and
it's students have all the privileges
hitherto accorded men. Why and
wherefore? Because the war is taking
all the men doctors, and if their places
are not filled the unhappy empire is
at the mercy of any epidemic that
may come along.

unendurable thing about it.

Four Hundred the first hop-well, it
tended to discourage honest endeavor.
Gene was in love all right, though.
Nobody could discount that. He left
poetry for diversion. The old crowd
saw little of him, and we did not lose
much at that. When he did drop in
to the particular studio where the
pipes and beer we're in evidence, he
was stupid enough. He seemed to be
sort of turned inwards. He even gave
up the Saturday nights at Mafioli's );
said he'd have to cut out the wine
now that he was about to be allied
to an angel-or some such stuff as
that.
The only time he ever woke up and
noticed things during those weeks
was when somebody would listen to
him talk about her. Then he was all
enthusiasm. She certainly had him
going all right.
And I reckon she was about as bad
1y gone on him. She really was a
pretty sort Of girl-not the most acute
in the world, but an honest sort of
person, despite all the fol-de-rols she
was surrounded with. And SWELL

Clothes and carriages and footmen

boys the jim-jams to see her drive up
to the door of the little old building
where most Of us drew our drawings,
made our music, constructed our poet
ry or rehearsed our parts. Well, we
never could get reconciled to that
carriage and team, and as for the
coachman and footman-well, be-
lieve somebody would have murder
ed them only that they seemed to
be a great snap for Van Blinks, the
cartoonist, who certainly did set

wondered if those menials or anybody
in the Fitzgerald family ever saw the
papers; still I don't suppose they
would have recognized themselves.
The funny thing was that the girls

pretty near having her own way in
the house anyway. Old Fitzgerald,

So he was somewhat surprised one
day to receive a summons to appear
at the Office of Aaron Cannon, attor-

in person or by attorney, and arrange
terms.

the contrary, deadly fear of the

People the world over were mortified
on learning Of the burning of Chicago
theater in which nearly six hundred
people lost their lives, yet more than
five times this number or over 5000
people died from pneumonia in Chicago
during the same year, with scarcely a
passing notice. Every one of these
cases of pneumonia resulted from a
cold and could have been prevented by
the timely use Of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. A great many who had every
reason to fear pneumonia have warded
it off by the prompt use Of this remedy.
