Suffering Journalist Knew Minutes

Were Precious.
Henry Guy Carleton, wit. journalist,
and playwright. had an impediment tn
his speech about which he is not the
least sensitive. Everybody's Magazine
tells this story about him:
Several years ago. when the Fifth
Avenue theatre burned, Mr.. Carleton
appeared in the New York World Of
fee. where he was then employed. and
the usual Saturday night confusion
was increased by the late fire. The
late Ballard Smith. then managing ed
itor of the newspaper. was believing
his orders with all his wonderful Wig
or in the effort to get to press on
time.
M-m-mister Smith, began Carle-
ton, I've a g-g-great s-s-story about
the Fifth Avenue theatre ff-fire.'
"'Great Heavens. man. roared Mr..
Smith. don't stop TO talk to me about
1t, Don't you know this is Saturday
night. and we go to press in fifteen
minutes? Get to work and write 1t.
and write 1t as fast as you know how.
I want copy. not conversation. Don't
you know that every minute is pre-

OPEN PUBLICITY THE BEST
GUARANTY Of MERTT

When the maker OF a medicine, sold
through druggists for family use, takes
his patients fully into his confidence by
frankly and, fearlessly publishing broad
a full list OF all Its ingredients In plain
English, this action on his part Is the
best possible evidence that he is not
afraid TO have the search light OF inves-
tlgatlon turned full upon his formula
and that II will bear the fullest scrutiny
and the most thorough investigation.
DIR. Pierce's Favorlte Prescription for the
cure OF the weaknesses, periodical pains
and functional arrangements of the or
gans distinctly feminine Is the only medi-
cine put up for sale through druggists for
woman's special use, the maker OF which
Is not afraid to take his patients into
his full confidence by such open and
honest publicity;
on each bottle wrapper, viii show that 1t
Is made wholly from native, American,
medicinal roots, that IL contains no pol
sonous or habit-forming drugs, no mar
codes and no alcohol-pure, triple-refned
glycerine. OF proper strength being used
instead OF the commonly employed alco-
hol, both for extracting and preserving
the active medicinal properties found In
the roots OF the American forest plants
employed. IT. is the only medicine for
womens peculiar diseases, sold by drug
gists, that does not contain large per-
centage OF alcohol, which Is In the long
run so harmful to woman's delicate, nerv-
Gus system. Now, glycerlne is perfectly
harmless, and serves valuable purpose
by possessing intrinsic value all Its own,
and besides 1t enhances the curative
effect of the other ingredients entering
into the "Favorite Prescription
Some OF the ablest medical writers and
teachers endorse these views and praise
all the several ingredients OF which Fa-
vorite Prescription" Is composed rec
ommending them for the cure of tho
very same diseases for which this world
famed medicine is advised. No other
medicine for women has any such pro
