The Modesty of Women

Naturally makes them shrink from the fndelicate questions, the obnoxious ex- aminations, and unpleasant local treat fments, which some physicians consider essential in the treatment of diseases of women. Yet, if help can be had, it is better to submit to this ordeal than let the disease grow and spread. The trouble is that so often the woman undergoes all the annoyance and shame for nothing. Thousands >of women who have been cured fX Dr. Rerce's Favoritc Prescrip- fion writA in. 2pQreciation of the cure which dsp spehSes>w(tl the examinations .and local treatments:S There is no other ;mcdicine so sure and safe for delicate women as rFayoritc Prescription" It cures facilitating drains, irregularity and female weakness. It always helps. 1t almost always cures. It is strictly non alcoholic, non secret, all it's ingredients being printed on it's bottle-wrapper; con- tains no decterious or habit-f forming drugs, and every native medicinal root entering into it's composition has the full endorsement of those most eminent in the several schools of medical practice. Some of these numerous and strongest of pro- fessional endorsements of it's ingredients, will be found in a pamphlet wrapped around the bottle, also in q booklet mailed free on request, by Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N Y. These professional en- dorsements should have far more weight than any amount of the ordinary lay, or non-professional testimonials.
 The most intelligent women nowadays insist on knowing what they take as med icine instead of opening their mouths like a lot of young birds and gulping down whatever is offered them uFayorite Pre- scription is of KNOWN COMPOSITION. 1t makes weak women strong and sick women well.

One Of the most interesting addresses
delivered recently in Boston was that
by MIR. John J. OHare, who was the
orator Sunday at the meeting of the

"rhe land question lies at the foun-
dation of Irish discomfort and misery.
The land Of every country belongs to
the people Of that country, and when
the people starve the landlords are
condemned. In those countries where
the land is owned by the people. there
is contentment, prosperity and happi-
ness. in the provinces Of the Rhine.
