So many false formulas and malicious statements concerning his medicines had been published through the con nivance of jealous competitors and dis gruntled doctors, that Dr. Pierce deter- mined to completely disarm his assail- ants by a full and frank statement Of their exact composition, verifying the same under oath as complete and cor rect. This he has done and to the complete discontinue of those who had assailed his good name as well as the well-earned reputation of his world famed medicines.
 Not only does the wrapper of every bottle of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, the famous medicine for weak stomach, torpid liver or bilious ness and all catarrhal diseases wherever located, have printed upon 1t, in ptdin English, full and complete list of all the ingredients composing It, but small book has been compiled from numerous standard medical works, of all the different schools of practice, containing very numerous extracts from the writings of leading practitioners of medicine, endorsing 70 the strongest possible terms, each and every ingred- tent contained in Dr. Pierce's medi- cines. One of these little books will be mailed free to any one sending address on postal card or by letter, to Dr. R. ". Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y., and requesting the same. From this booklet 1t will be learned that Dr. Pierce's medicines con tain no alcohol, narcotics, mineral agents or other poisonous or injurious agents and that they are made from native, medicinal roots of great value; also that some of the most valuable in- gradients contained in Dr. Fierce's Fla vorite Prescription for weak, nervous, over-worked, wrun-down,r nervous and facilitated women, were employed, long years ago by the Indians for similar ailments affecting their squaws. In fact, one of the most valuable medic inal plants entering into the compost ton of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip- tion was known to the Indians as vSquaw-We Our knowledge of the uses of not few of our most valuable native, medicinal plants was gained from the Indians.
 As made up by improved and exact processes, and with the use of specially designed chemical apparatus, the "Fa- vorite Prescription is most efficient remedy for regulating all the womanly functions, correcting displacements, as prolapsus, anteversion and retroversion, overcoming painful periods, toning up the nerves and bringing about perfect state Of health.

Against Them-M ntagnini Gives Pope
 Minute Details of Expulsion From
 France Dark Picture of situation.
 Paris. Dec 14--There was an im- pressive response Thursday morning to the clergy's appeal to their par lshoners to attend the first masses celebrated outside of the pale of the law. A correspondent of the Asso- ciated press visited dozen churches, including Notre Dame, Des Victories. St. Germain d'Auxerrois, where the signal for the St Bartholomew mas sacre was given; St. Koch, the Ma delaine and St. Augustine. Every where it was the same story. The front gates of the churches were closed but the Catholics, by the grey light of dawn were streaming through the side portals. The interiors of the places there was music but nowhere was there the slightest attempt to interfere with the service or create disturbance. Three policemen were stationed outside the porticos of the churches to prevent possible disor- der, while police officers an plain clothes were on duty inside to note the infractions of the law, taking the names of the officiating priests and the number of those present, with the object of making reports to the justices of police. Formal charges were entered wherever mass was celebrated except at the churches of St. Jean L'Evangile and St. Blaise- De Charonne and Pere La Chaise, whose parishoners, following the ex- ample of the first mentioned church, made the called-for application Wednesday evening to hold services under the law of 1881. The vicar of St. Blaise De Charonne when induced by his parishoners to take this step, said.
 Whatever the consequences, re- gret nothing I am a Frenchman above everything"
 Early dispatches from the depart ments say that wherever mass was celebrated charges were drawn up and summonses issued.
 At the final meeting Wednesday night of the diocesan council here It was decided that neither the eccles- lastical residences nor the seminares should be abandoned, except before show of force.
 It is officially stated that the let ters of Monsiendr Montagnini, the expelled secretary of the papal num- ciature here, show that the majority of the French bishops favored observ- ance of the law of 1881 and bowed with reluctance to the papal decree. The official statement adds that the invioiability of the diplomatic cor respondence of the nunciature was serupulously respected before the rup- ture between the vatican and France.

JORDAN SAYS HOLD COTTON.
Claims Government Has Over Estimated
 This Years Crop

Atlanta, Ga., Dec. l2.-Presi- dent Harvie Jordan of the South ern Cotton Association in an interview today upon the recent government estimate placing the crop oi the current year at prac- tically l2, 500,00O bales, said:
 "The holders of spot cotton iu the South should not become pauicky over the recent estimate of the bureau of cotton statistics and the heavy slump which fol- lowed Tn the speculative ex- changes of the country. The enormous demand for spot cotton by the mills of the world will absorb every bale of American cotton produced before another crop can be harvested. There is not now as much cotton in the South to gather and to gin as was the case one year ago, hence the present crop will never reach 12,000,000 bales. If we should gin as much cotton after Decem- Der 1, this season, as we did from the big crop of 1904, the total crop would not exceed l2,200, 900 bales.
 Everyone acquainted with the situation knows that there is no late cotton, as was the@case in 1904, as the top crop this year was killed by an unusually early frost. Granting that only S5 per cent of the crop was gihned to December l, the total yield would not exceed II, 100000 bales. The bureau has overestimated the yield this year as badly as il underestimated the crop year ago.
 "The people are urged to hold their cotton firmly for good prices and the spot market can be fully maintained for the balance of the seasou.n

his arrival here Thursday Monsignor
 Montagnini, the expelled secretary of
 the papal nunciature at Paris, went
 to the Vatican and conferred with
 the Papal Secretary of State Merry
 Del Val and Monsignor Dello Chiesa and Monsignor Gasparri, the assist ant secretaries, and made long report on the situation in France, especially in regard to the documents seized at the Paris nunciature, sever al hundreds of which deal entirely with the Franco-V Vatican conflict and will be especially interesting to the French government as showing, it is asserted here, the differences of opinion among the members of the French episcopacy The report of Monsignor Montganini expressed the distress which he felt as a result of his expulsion and presented to the pontiff rather dark picture of the situation, saying he believed the pres ent French government will not be induced to change it's attitude which it had assumed toward the Vatican.

The eract proportion of the several in- gredients used in these medicines, as we'll as the working formula and pecul- far processes, apparatus and appliances employed in their manufacture, are withheld from publicity that Dr. Pierce's proprietary rights may not be infringed and trespassed upon by unprincipled imitators and those who may be pirati- cally inclined.
 Dr. John Fyfe, of Saugatuck, Conn.,, Editor of the Department of Therapeu- tics in THE ELECTRIC REVIEW says of Unicorn root (Helonias Dioica) one of the chief ingredients of Dr. Pierce's Fa- vorite Prescription; "A remedy which invariably acts as uterine invigorator and always favors condition which makes for normal activity of the entire reproductive system, cannot fail to be of great usefulness and of the utmost importance to the general practitioner of medicine.p
 vHelonias more fully answers the above purposes than any other drug soith s0hich I an acquainted. In the treatment of diseases peculiar to women it is seldom that case is seen which does not present some indication for this remedial agent"
 rThe following are among the lead- ing indications for Helonias: Pain or aching in the back, with leucorrhea; atomic (weak) conditions of the repro- ductive organs of women, mental de- pression and durability, associated with chronic diseases of the reproductive organs of women, constant sensation of heat in the region of the kidneys: menor- rhagia, (cfloodingn) due to weakened condition of the reproductive system; amenorrhea, arising from or accompa- nying an abnormal condition of the digestive organs and an anemic (thin blood habit; dragging sensations in the extreme lower part of the abdomen.n
 If more or less of the above symptoms are present, no invalid women can do bet- ter than take Dr. Pierce's Fayorlte Pre- scription, which srich in all the medicinal properties of Unicorn root or Helonias.
