What Do They Cure?

The above question is often asked con corning Dr. Pierce'S two leading medi- cineS, "Golden Medical Discovery and UFavorite Prescription" l The answer is that Golden Medical | Discovery "iS a most potent alterative or | blood-purifier, and tonic or ihVigOratOr | and acts especially favorably in q cura- | tive way upon all the mucous lining sur l faces, as or the nasal passages, throat. bronchial tubes, stomach, bowels and bladder, curing large per cent. Of catar- rhal cases whether the disease affects tho nasal passages, the throat, larynX, bron- chia, stomach (aS catarrhal dyspepsia J, bowels { as mucous diarrhca) bladder uterus or other pelvic organs. Even m the chronic or ulcerative stages of these affections, it is often successful III a1ect- ing cures.
 The Favorite Prescription is advised | for the cure of one class Of dlSoases-thoSc peculiar weaknesses, Arrangements and ! irregularitie5 incident to women only. It is a powerful yet gently acting invigorat- ing tonic and nerVine. For weak worn- out, uver-workcd women-no matter what has caused the breakdown, "Favoritc Prescription twill be found most effective in building up the strength. regulating the wOmanly functions, Subduing pain and bringing about healthy, vigorous condition of the whole system.
 A book of particulars wraps each bottle giving the formul9 of both medicines and quoting what scores of eminent med ical authors, whose works are consulted by physicians of all the schools of practice as guides in prescribing, say of each ln- gredient entering into these medicines.
 The words of praise bestowed on the several ingredients entering into Doctor Piercc's medicines by such writers should have more weight than any amount of non professional testimonials, because such men arc writing for the guidance ot their medical brethren and know whereof they speak.
 Both medicines are non-alcoholic, non secret, and contain no harmful habit forming drugs, being composed of glyceric extracts of the roots of native, American medicinal forest plants They are both sold by dealers in medicine. You can't afford to accept as substitute for one of these medicines of known composition, any secret nostrum.

SERVICE PENSIONS.

The senate last week passed the pension appropriation bill carrying with it $145, ,000, GOO. One of the interesting features of the bill as it was finally pass ed was that it was antedated to take in the service pension leg islation of February Eth from the time that law was passed. Senator Scott of West Virginia was the father of the service pension bill. He has been work ing on it for the past six years, according to his own statement, and considers it one of his nota- ble achievements in the senate.
 But there is another bill in the same line for which Senator Scott is working that has more general sentimental interest at tached to it than even the serv- ice pension bill. It is the bill to pension army nurses who served during the war. This measure is on the point of being reported out of committee and ought to reach a vote during the coming week. From the standpoint of numbers affected it is not an inn portant bill. There are little less than 400 of the war time nurses still alive so far as statistics show. Of these over ten per cent are more than 90 years old. There is not one on the list, so far as known, under 60. Some of them are in com fortable circumstances and would not want the pension except as a mark of honor, but there are only too many to whom even the little money the pension repre- SentS would come as a Godsend. There has never been any pen sion legislation in favor of these old ladies, and there is not a man in either house of congress who would vote against the bill once it got out of committee. In fact if it came to it, there are prOba- ply few men on the pension list who would not willingly give up a pro rata of their pension money if it were necessary to pay these kindly old women for the price less service they rendered at time when a woman'S care in the field hospitals was thing that could be had for love, but not for money.
 However, It will not be neces- sary for any of the veterans to contribute toward the payment of the bill. There is money enough in the federal treasury to defray it, and the chances are that before the session closes tardy justice will have been done to the too few survivors of the heroic nurses brigade.

CATTLE men ARE
HEARD FROM

(From Thursdays Daily Panhandle
Tho following is given out from
tho offices OF the Cattle Raisors'
Association Of Texas;
The complaints of the cattle rails
crs Of Texas, New Mexico and the
Southwest, in regard to freight rates
on cattlo and in regard TO the SER
vice given by the railways on cat
TIC shipments, are a matter Of pub
lie no,oHoty The members Of the
Cattle Ralsers' association Of Texas
feel that the frequent raising Of
cattle rates during the last five years
has been accompanied by a lower
ing Of the standard Of service The
attorneys of the association upon
tho direction and with tho unani-
nous consent and approval Of the
executive committee have filed be-
fore the interstate commerce COM
mission a proceeding TO contest the
present rates on cattle ana to Sc
cure a reduction thereof, They have
also filed a proceeding TO compel
the Texas & Pacific Railway COM
pauy and the Galveston, Houston q
San Antonio Railway company to
furnish through rates and routes
and to require them to haul cattle
to destination in the same cars in
which they are originally loaded
The injustice of a shipment Of cat
tie from Weatherford to Kansas
City being reQuiGd TO bo unloaded
at Fort Worth Is manifest. Like
wise shipment from Toyah or
Odessa to tho north being required
to be unloaded at Pecos.
II Is believed that the slower rate.
Of speed and the failure 70 promptly
furnish cars recently has been ow-
ing to a large extent to the use of
cattle cars for other purposes and
to the tendency to overload en-
gines and so forth.
These complaints which the at
torneys have filed before the inter-
state commerce commission are to|
have a hearing by that commission
at Amarillo, Texas, on January 26'
and at Fort Worth, Texas on Janu-
airy 2S and 30. The commission and
our attorneys will be on hand att
these times and places for the in
PRODUCTION of testimony covering
these questions.
All members of this association
or other cattemen will be entitled
to testify before said commission
and give their grievances, their diff
ficulties and losses in connection
with the subject. The association
urges those cattlemen who have
come in direct contact with the class
OF the service given by the rail-
roads and who know other facts
pertinent to the issues involved in
these cases, to be present at Am
arllo on the 26th and at Fort
Worth on the oSth and ogth IN
relate their experiences, observation
and testimony in connection with
these matters. Certainly there
should be a large number of cattle
rascrs present at these hearings,
and the association adopts this
method of advertising said hearings
and requesting parties interested to
appear on the dates named.
