Won1an'S Trials.

The bitter trail in a woman's life IS s0 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 disap- pointment. Many unfortunate couples become estranged thereby. Even II tney 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 familydoes not seem too numerous
 In many cases of barrenness or child lessness the obstacle to collaborating IS easily removed by the cure Of weakness on the part of the woman. Dr. Plerce's ta- vorite Prescription has been the means of restoring health and fruitinlness to many household. In other, but rare cases, the obstruction to the bearing of children has been found to be of surgical character, but easily removable by painless operative treatment at the Invalids' Hotel and Sur gical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., over which Dr Pierce of the "Favorite Prescription" fame presides. In all cases where chill 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 treatment.
 In all the various weaknesses, displace- ments, prolapsus, inflammation and de- bilitatlng, catarrhal drains and in all cases of nervousness and debility, Dr. Pierce's Favorite 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 "Favorite Prescription Is composed have received the most positive endorsement from the leading medical writers on Mdteria Medica of all the several schools of practice. All the ingredients are printed t1t pldin 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 Prescription" is made will bear the most careful exam ination.
 Dr. Plerce's Pleasant Pellets are the best and safest laxative for women.

CIGAR EDETORIALS-No. 6

Probably three-quarters of all cigars sold over counter are bought on faith. Thepurchaser mentions no particular brand. He slaps down hi money and says, Give me good 5-cent cigar" or whatever price it may be.
 In the old trust-to-luck methods of cur- ing tobacco and making cigars there was absolutely no way by which such pur- chaser could be sure of what he was get ting. The dealer could not assure him, because the dealer himself did not know what kind of tobacco was used, even though he made the cigar himself. It might be as good cigar as the last one sold from the same box = and then again, it might not. The only possible way by which man could know the quality of cigar before "Ap (TriangleA) processes were developed, was by smoking it.
 To sum it all up in phrase, cigars made up under the old system seldom ran well. " This was sometimes the fault of the manu- facturer, but oftener the fault of the condi- tioas under which the cigars were made.
 All that is changed now. The American Cigar Company has, at cost of millions of dollars and years of time spent in experimenting, perfected new processes of
