Delicate, weak, nervous women
should especially shun the use of al
coholic medicines which, from their
stimulating and exhilarating effects,
may seem, for a time, to do good,
but which, from the inevitable effects
of the alcohol in shrinking up the
red corpuscles of the blood, are sure
to do great and lasting harm in the
long run. Besides, they beget a
craving for stimulants which is most
deplorable.
Only invigorating and nerve
strengthening effects can follow the
use of this famous medicine for
women. 1t cannot possibly do harm
in any state or condition of the sys-
tenn. 1t has been carefully adapted
to woman's needs by an experienced
physician-a specialist in their dis
eases. 1t makes weak women strong
and sick women well.
If a woman has bearing down or
dragging pains low down in the abb
domen or pelvis, backache, frequent
headaches, dizzy or fainting spells, is
nervous and easily startled, has
gnawing feeling in stomach, sees
imaginary floating specks or spots
before her eyes, has melancholia or
"blues," or a weakening, disagree
able drain from pelvic organs, she
can make no mistake by resorting
to the use of DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription 1t will invigorate and
tone up the whole system and espe-
cially the pelvic organs.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton is scientific medicine, careful
ly devised by an experienced and
skillful physician, and adapted to
woman's delicate system. 1t is made
of native American medicinal roots
and is perfectly harmless in its eff
fects IN ANY CONDITION OF

TEXT OF RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED

The action of the French government in
the alleged attempt to confscate the prop
erty and churches of the Roman Catholics
in France was bitterly scored at a mass
meeting of the citizens Of Washington held
at the Columbia Theater last night. Elo-
quent and stirring addresses were made by
prominent speakers and members OF the
clergy, and it is estimated that more than
two thousand persons. irrespective of relig-
ious faith, were present. AS many more
were turned away because Of lack Of ac-
commodation.
Those who spoke were: Edgar H. Cans
Of Baltimore, Maj. Edward T. McCrystal of
New York, the Rev. John Van Schaick,
pastor of the Universalist Church in this
city, and Rev. D. ]. Stafford, pastor of St.
Patrick's Church.
The following cablegram was sent to Car
dinal Merry Del Val, at Rome, after being
read to the audience:
washington, December 80.
Cardinal Merry Del Val, Papal Secretary
of State, Rome, Italy.
'-Citizens of Washington, irrespective of
religious belief. united in mass meeting,
condemn attitude of French government to
church, and sympathze with holy father
and French hierarchy.

The Stokes-Adams Syncope.
From the New York Herald.


Mr.. A. ]. Cassatt is reported to have
died Of heart disease, complicated with
what is known to the medical profession
as the StokesAdams syncope. This I'M
usual affection is characterized by several
striking symptoms, the principal being an
extremely slow pulse, occasional fits OF
syncope, or fainting, also attacks of ver-
tigo, and not unfrequently there are epi-
leptic seizures during the progress Of the
disease. Sometimes the head symptoms
suggest mild apoplectic strokes. The cause
of the malady is somewhat obscure. AL
though the symptoms usually associated
with a fatty or degenerated heart muscle.
they also occur in connection with diseases
of other organs. BY some authorities the
malady Is supposed to be due 10 central
changes In the brain influencing the heart
movement. The hardening of the arteries
common in elderly people is also considered
q leading factor. also kidney disease and
various toxic agents.
In Mr. Cassatts case II is quite likely
that the central trouble was in the heart
and that the continuous slow beat of the
organ and its sudden and final arrest OF
action were due to purely degenerative
changes In the cadillac muscle. Under such
circumstances death is almost instantane-

"Silence Cure" for Women.

ANSONIA. Conn, December 31.-A new
system of relief from physical woes will be
put into practice here on January 1. Be
ginning with the New Year a number of
society women will take the silence cure"
The treatment is very simple, and consists
of keeping the mouth closed. They predict
the results will be marvellous, benefting not
only the patient, but other members of the
family.
The women allege that people talk too
much which means a tremendous waste of
energy, eventually undermining the health
and bringing along a train of ills the cause
of which few suspect.

LINERS COLLIDE IN FOG.
Accident Due to Darkness and Con-

ing navigation in those waters almost i'm
possdble. the Anchor Line steamship Column
bia, bound for Glasgow. was run into and
hit a resounding smash by the Ward Line
steamer Camaguey from Guantanamo.
That the liner was not cut in two was due
to the stanchness of her construction and
the fact that she received a somewhat
slanting blow. She sustained only minor
damage and, after few hours delay, pro-
ceeded on her voyage.
The accident occurred just off Robbins
Reef in the upper bay, and resulted from
the darkness and the general whistlng by
fog bound boats in the vicinity.

as follows:

them remember also that the mob who

they did not forget also to surround the

The Other Speakers.
The first speaker was Edgar H. Cans, a
prominent lawyer of Baltimore, who stirred
his listeners to much enthusiasm as he de-
nounced the actions of the French govern
ment, and bitterly scored those officials
whom he claims as responsible for the con-
ditions.

and state offered by the French govern

agreement have been plainly violated by

Cans, headed by an atheistical group Of
French statesmen led by Waldeck-Rous-
seau Coombs and Clemenceau.
Rev. John Van Schaick, pastor OF the
Universalist Church of Our Father, was
the next speaker. His address was strong
one, and was greeted with much applause.
He concluded by saying:
