WOman's Trials.

The bitter trail in woman's life is to be childless. Who can tell how hard the struggle may have been ere she learnt to resign herself to her lonely lot? The ab sence of this link to bind marital life together, the absence of this one pledge to mutual affection is common dsap- pointment. Many unfortunate couples become estranged thereby. Even if they do not drift apart, one may read the whole extent of their disappointment in the eyes of such a childless couple when they rest on the children of others. To them the largest familydoe not seem too numerous.
 In many cases of barrenness or child lessness the obstacle to child-bearing is easily removed by the cure of weakness on the part of the woman. Dr. Pierce's Fa- vorite Prescription has been the means of restoring health and fruitfulness to many a barren woman, to the great joy of the household. In other, but rare cases, the obstruction to the bearing of children has been found to be of surgical chg -acte-. but easily removable by painless )I t nloy treatment at the Invalids' Hotel an, Snf glcal Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., over which Dr. Pierce of the eFayorite Prescription fame presides. In all cases where chil- dren are desired and are absent, an effort should be made to find out the real cause, since it is generally so easily removed by proper Urea tment
 In all the various weaknesses, displace- ments, proiapsus, inflammation and de- bllitating, catarrhal drains and in all cases of nervousness and debility, Dr. Plerce,s Eavorite Prescription Is the most efficient remedy that can possibly be used It has to it's credit hundreds of thousands of cures --more-,in fact than any other remedy put up for sale through druggists. especially for woman's use. The ingredi- ents of which the "Fayorlte Prescription Is composed have received the most positive endorsement from the leading medical writers on Materia Medtea of all the several schools of practice All the ingredients are printed iit piain English on the wrapper enclosing the bottle. so that any woman making use of this famous medicine may know exactly what she is taking. Dr. Pierce takes his pa tients into his full confidence. which he can afford to do as the formula after which the "Favorite Prescriptions is made will bear the most careful exam inati

Woman's Murder Still a Mystery

Bristol, Tenn, April 25.-The murder of Mrs. Mollie Glover at the home of Sylvester Luttrel on Tuesday night is still a mystery. After the woman was found in the bed with her head split open with an, axe and chopped almost entirely off, Sylvester Luttrell was ar rested and is still held on suspicion though evidence adduced in the inves- tigation of the coroner's jury yesterday would seem to establish his innocence. The police have a clue, they think, which may result in the arrest of woman on the charge of murder.

 "The Syrian Young Mems society has requested mo to send you a check for S2506 which I am enclosing.

 Permit me 10 assure you that my peo- pie and myself as well feel the terrible disaster that has befailen the people of San Francisco, and every loyal citizen must surely feel a profound sympathy for those unfortunate people. Yours very truly, "DR. II. A. ELKOURIE."
