Wedding RING in Fish's Stomach.


While fishing in the river opposite
Red Bluff, Willis Brown caught pike
weighing over four pounds. The
young fisherman, being anxious to
make a meal of his catch, proceeded
to dress it. While removing the en-
trails he noticed something hard in
the fish's stomach and on opening it
found a fine gold wedding ring. It Is
a plain band, and on the inside sur
face are plainly engraved "a. c. to
NJ. B."
The supposition is that the ring
was lost by some person while bath
ing in the river. A ring similar to
the one found in the fish was lost in
the river near Corning, 20 miles down
the stream from here, over year ago.

she will never look beautiful. The feelings
of nervousness, the befogged mind, the
ul-temper, the pale and wrinkled face, all
result from those disorders peculiar to
women, and the only way to effect their cure
is to strike at tue source of the difficulty.
There is every reason why she should write
some great specialist, one who has made the
diseases Of women specially for third of
a century like Dr. r. V. Pierce, founder of
the Inyalds' Hotel and Surgical Institute
of Buffalo, N. Y. All correspondence is
held sacredly confidential, and he gives his
advice free and without charge.
During long period of practice, Doctor
Pierce found that prescription made up
entirely of roots and herbs, without the
use of alcohol, cured uinety-eight per cent.
of such cases. After using this remedy for
many years in his private practice he put
it up in a form that can be had at any store
where medicines are handled.
In many cases DR.. R. " Fierce's Favorite
Prescription will fit the needs and put tie
body in healthy condition.
So sure of it is Dr. Pierce, he offers
reward of $500 for women who cannot be
cured of Leucorrhea, Female Weakness,
Prolapsus, or Falling of Womb. All he
asks is a fair and reasonable trial of his
means of cure.
