Historic Old New York.

Greenwich village, in New York city,
was first brought into prominence
when Sir Peter Warren, descended
from an ancient Irish family and vice
admiral Of the British feet, settled
there In 1744. He married Susannah
De Lancey and settled on fine estate
Of more than 800 acres, running from
Christopher street to West Twenty
first. 1t was laid out like On English
park, with splendid hedges and ave-
nues of trees and a fine old mansion,
which was the resort Of all the quality
of old New York. His three daughters
all made brilliant marriages in Eng
land. One became the Countess Of
Abingdon, and her name is preserved
in Abingdon square, On the division
Of the estate at Sir Peters death the
homestead fell to her. She sold it to
Abijah Hammond, who sold it to Abra-
ham Van Nest, and it Is still remem-
bered by many as the old Van Nest
house, demolished in 1865. Among
other distinguished persons who have
lived in Greenwich were Oliver De

Standing out in bold relief, oil alons

and afflicted, are DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription for weak, oyer-worked, de-
racked women, and DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, the famous remedy
for weak stomach, Indigestion, or dys-
pepsia, torpid i've, or biliousness, all
catarrhal affections whether of the
stomach, bowels, kidneys, bladder, nasal
passages, throat, bronchia, or other mu-
for all diseases arising from thin, watery
or impure blood, as scrofulous and skin
affections.
Each bottle of the above medicines
bears upon it's wrapper q badge of hon
esty in the full list OF ingredients COM
This frank and open publicity places
these medicines IN a class all by them
selUes, and is the best guaranty of their
merits. They cannot be classed as patent
nor secret medicines for they are neither
being of ko0,O?l composition.
DR.. Pierce feels that he can afford to
take the afflicted into his full confidence
and lay all the ingredients of his medi-
cines freely before them because these
ingredients are such as are endorsed and
most strongly praised by scores of the
most eminent medical writer's as cures
for the diseases for which these medf-
cines are recommended. Therefore, the
afflicted do not have to rely alone upon
DR.. Pierce's recommendation as to the
| curative value of his medicines for Ger.
tain easily recognized diseases.
A glance at the printed formula on
each bottle will show that no alcohol and
no harmful or habit forming drugs enter
wholly compounded Of glyceric extracts
Of the roots of native, American forest
plants. These are best and safest for
the cure of most lingering, chronic dis
eases. DR.. r. V. Pierce can be consulted
