feeble women generally, pr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the greatest earthly boon, being unequaled as an appetizing cordial and restorative tonic. As soothing and strengthening ner- vine vFavorite Prescription" is un- equaled and is invaluable in allaying and subduing nervous excitability, ir- ritability, nervous exhaustion, nervous prostration, neuralgia, hysteria, spasms, St. Vitus's dance, and other distressing, nervous symptoms commonly attendant upon functional and organic disease of the uterus. It induces refreshing sleep and relieves mental anxiety and des- pondency.
 No woman suffering from any of the above symptoms can afford to accept any secret nostrum or medicine of un- known composition, as substitute for medicine like Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, which is OF KNOWN CON- POSITION and has record of over forty years of cures 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.
 Dr. Pierce invites all suffering women to consult him by letter free Of charge. All letters of consultation are held as strictly private and sacredly confiden- tial and all answers are returned ir plain, sealed envelopes. Address: Dr. R. V. Pierce, Invalids' Hotel and Sur gical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y.
 Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure con- stipation. Constipation is the cause of many diseases. Cure the cause and you cure the disease. One Pellet is a gentle laxative, and two a mild cathar- tic. Druggists sell them, and nothing is vjust as good.p They are the original Little Liver Pills first put up by old Dr. Pierce over 40 years ago. Much initiated, but never equaled. They are tiny sugar-coated granules easy to take as candy.

Mrs. Jewett's Sunshine.

Mrs Charles Jewett of st. Louis is
one of the real Sunshiners, and she has
been the means Of making many
woman in Minnesota happy. Two years
ago Mrs. Jewett made it possible for
the Minnesota Sunshiners to start its
outing work by giving them the use Of
her two cottages, partially furnished,
at Lindstrom. When Miss Davis gave
Sunshine it's new home, Mrs. Jewett,
who is visiting in st. Paul, expressed
the wish that the cottages might. be
used to make some one happy, and
when she found that one of the Mime
apolis Sunshiners knew Of number of
girls who could not afford to pay the
board required at the average country
boarding house and SO would probably
be deprived Of an outing, she at once
offered the cottages to them for two
weeks, going out herself to see that
they were cleaned and put in order
for them. s
Thru the Outing society the North
ern Pacific railway gave them the trans
portation, the Lindstrom people were as
kind and generous to them as they were
in the past to the Sunshine guests, and
twenty-five Of the happiest girls i'm
aginable returned to the city last week
with rosy cheeks and bright eyes that
showed what the two weeks in the coun-
try had done for them.
