Six months ago John DIS minions

That there is an understanding
between the two party camps is
matter of comment, established

200 years is to give one a strange SEN

those who once lived there when 1t

He stands squarely facing the OBJ

quiet and simple, is essentially mill

out in an ideal composition thorough

memory into her growing tree of

In the design of the entire monu-

architect, T. r. Johnson, consulted
Cass Gilbert, the well-known New

rlADE FROrl NATIVE ROOTS.
SAFE AND RELIABLE.

That the roots of many native plants,
growing wild In our American forests,
possess remarkable properties for the cure
Of human maladics Is well proven. Even
the untutored Indian had learned the
curative value of some of these and
taught the early settlers their uses. The
Indian never liked work so he wanted his
SQuaw to get well as soon as possible that
she might do the work and let him hunt.
Therefore, he dug upapoose root for her,
for that was their great remedy for fe-
male weaknesses. Dr. Pierce uses the
same root-called Blue Cohosh--in his
wFavorite Prescription" skillfully COM
bined with other agents that make it
more effective than any other medicine in
curing all the yariNis weaknesses and
painful arrangements peculiar to women.
Many afflicted women have been saved
from the operating table and the sur
geon's knife by the timely use of Doctor
Pierce's Fayorite Prescription. Tender
ness over the lower pelvic region, with
backache, spells Of dizziness, faintness,
bearing down pains or distress should not
go unheeded. A course of vFavorite Pre-
scriptionp will work marvellous benefit
In all such cases, and generally effect
sOnable length Of time. The "Favorite
Prescription is harmless agent, being
wholly prepared from native medicinal
roots, without drop OF alcohol in its
make up, whereas all other medicines,
put up for sale through druggists for
woman's peculiar ailments, contain large
quantities of spirituous liquors, which
are very harmful, especially to delicate
women. ~Eavorite Prescription" con-
tains neither alcohol nor harmful habit
forming drugs. All its ingredients are
printed on each bottle wrapper. 1t Is a
powerful invigorating tonic, impartng

organs distinctly feminine. For weak
and sickly women, who are rworn-out,"
