ALCOHOL IN SICKNESS,

At one of the London public hos- pitfalls a special point is made of giving alcohol to the patients as rarely and sparely as possible; and each time that one of the physicians does so he submits 6 special entry of the reasons that actuated him. In the thirty-two years of the existence of the hospital alcohol has only been given seventy one times. The cases received are exactly like those received by all the other hospitals. For 1904 they num- bered 1887 in patients only. The death-rate among these was 7.S per cent. For the same year the average death rate among the other London public hospitals was 9.l per cent. Therefore the use of alcohol in sick ness Is not to be regarded as neces. sity. Although most physicians pre-. scribe alcohol in solution with drugs for their patients-there was one phy- sician of national reputation who did not believe in using alcohol. Many years ago when Dr. R. V. Pierce de- cided to put up his valuable "Prescrip- tion" for the diseases of women in Uready to use" form -. he used as @ solvent and preservative chemically pure glycerine of proper strength, which is better solvent and preserva- tive of the active medicinal principles residing in most of our indigenous or native plants than is alcohol. Dr. Pierce found that the glycerine, be- sides being entirely harmless, possesses intrinsic medicinal properties, of great value.
 No woman who is suffering from inflammation, from the pains and drains incident to womanhood can afford to be without Dr. Pierce's Fa- vorite Prescription. An honest medi- cine which has the largest number of cures to it's credit and deserved popu- larity for two score years all over the United States. Dr. Pierce tells you just what is contained in his TFavorite Prescription"

 Golden Seal root (Hydrastis Cana densis), Lady's Slipper root lCypri- pedium Pubescens), Black Cohosh root (Cimicifuga Racemosa), Unicorn root (Helonias Dioica), Blue Cohosh root (Caulophyllum Thalictroides), Chemically Pure Glycerine.
 Among the prominent medical men of the country who recommend the above ingredients as superior remedies for nervous conditions depending upon disorders of the womanly system and for the cure of those catarrhal condi- tions in the affected parts are !: Edwin M.

 DIR. PIERoE's PLEASANT PELLETS cure biliousness, sick and bilious head ache, dizziness, costiveness, or con stipation of the bowels, loss of appe- tite, coated tongue, sour stomach, windy belchings, vheartburn," pain and distress after eating, and kindred derangements of the liver, stomach and bowels.
 Persons who are subject to any of these troubles should never be without a vial of the VPleasant Pellets" at hand: In proof of their superior excellence 1t can truthfully be said that they are always adopted as household remedy after the first trial.
 One little "Pellet" is a laxative, two are cathartic. They regulate, invigor-- ate and cleanse the liver, stomach and bowels. As "dinner pill" to promote digestion, take one each day. To re- lieve the distress arising from over eating, nothing equals one of these little vPellets." They're tiny, sugar coated, anti-bilious granules, scarcely larger than mustard seeds.
