A Wornan's Health

Is a heritage too sacred to be expert
mented with. For her peculiar and deli
cate ailments only medicines of known
composition and which contain no alco-
hol, narcotics, or other harmful or habit
forming drugs should be employed. Such
a medicine is DR.. Pierce's FaYorite Pre-
scription-a remedy with a record of over
forty years of cures to recommend it; a
remedy, the makers of which print it's
formula on every botGle-wrapper and at
test it's completeness and correctness
under oath; a remedy devised and adapted
to woman's delicate constitution by an
educated phySician-an experienced spe-
ciaHst in woman'S diseases; a remedy,
every Ingredient of which has received
the written endorsement of the most emil
nent medical writers of all the several
schools of practice for the cure of woman's
peculiar diseases; a remedy which has
more bOTlG-ttde cures to its credit than
any other sold by druggists for womans
special requirements. 1t is not given
away in the form of vtrial bottles to be
experimental with, but is sold at fair
price by all dealers in medicines.
If a woman has bearing down, or drag
ging pains, low down in the abdomen, or
pelYis, backache, frequent headaches,
dizzy or fainting spells, is nervous and
easily startled, has gnawing feeling in
stomach, sees imaginary floating specks,
or spots before her eyes, has melancholia,
or "blues," or weakening disagreeable
drain from pelvic organs, she can make
no mistake by resorting to the use of DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It will
invigorate and tone up the whole system
and especially the pelvic organs.
No woman suffering from any of the
above symptoms can afford to accept any
secret nostrum or medicine of unknown
composition, as substitute for a medi-
cine like DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton, which is OF KNOWN COMPOSITION and
has a record of over forty years and sells
more largely to-day than ever before. Its
makers withhold no secrets from their
patients, believing open publicity to be
the very best guaranty of merit.
DIR. Pierce invites all suffering women
to consult him by letter free Of charge.
All letters of consultation are held as
sacredly confidential and an answer is re-
turned in plain sealed envelope. Address:

Spanish Sheen.

There are said to be 100000 mi
gratOry sheep in Spain, which travel
on occasions as much as 200 miles
from the plains to the mountains.
They are known as transhumantes,
and their march, resting places and
behavior are governed by special regu-
lations dating from the fourteenth cen
tury. AT certain times no one may
travel the same route as the sheep,
which have the right to Craze on all
open and common land on the way.

The Little Ones.

Many wrinkles are snoothed away by
the soft fingers OF little children. The
