Weak Women

To weak and ailing women. there is at least one way to help. But with that way. two treatments, must be combined. One is local, one Is constitu- tional, but both are important both essential.
 Dr. shoops Night Cure is the Local.
 Dr. Shoop's Restorative the Constitutional.
 The former-Dr Shoop's Night Cure-isa topical mucous membrane suppository remedy, while Dr. shoops Restorative is wholly m internal treat ment. The Restorative reaches throughout the entire system, seeking the repair of all nerve. ell tissue, and all blood ailments
 The Night Cure", as its name implies, does ia work while you sleep. It soothes sore and infam- ed mucous surfaces. heals local weaknesses and discharges. while the Restorative, eases nervous excitement, gives renewed vigor and ambition, builds up wasted tissues, bringing about renewed strength, vigor, and energy.

Not a drop of alcohol enters into
DR.. Pierce's leading medicines. A
much better agent is used both for
extracting and preserving the me-
dicinal principles, viz.-pure triple
refined glycerine of proper strength.
This agent possesses medicinal
properties of its own, being most
valuable anti-septic and anti-fer-
ment, nutritive and soothing de-
mulcent.
GlyCerine plays an important
part in DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery in the cure of indi-
gestion, dyspepsia and weak stom-
ach, attended by sour risings,
uheartburn," foul breath, coated
tongue, poor appetite, gnawing
feeling in stomach, biliousness and
.5Nldred arrangements of the stom-
9Al, liver and bowels.
For all diseases of the mucous
membranes, the uGolden Medical
Discovery" is specific. Catarrh,
whether of the nasal passages or Of
the stomach, bowels or pelvic or
gans is cured by it. In Chronic
Catarrh of the Nasal passages, it is
we'll, while taking the "Golden
Medical Discovery" for the neces-
sary constitutional treatment, to
cleanse the passages freely two or
three times a day with DR.. Sage
Catarrh Remedy. This thorough
course of treatment generally cures
even in the worst cases.
In coughs and hOarseness caus-
ed by bronchial, throat and lung
affections, except consumption in
its advanced stages, the " Golden
Medical Discovery" is a most effici-
ent remedy, especially in those OBJ
stinate, hang -on-coughs caused by
irritation and congestion of the
bronchial mucous membranes. The

Generous Restitution.
A few years ago there went to one
of the northwestern states a Boston
newspaper man whose mission 1t was
to write up" lynching In that quarter,
although there had not been an Illegal
execution in the state for a long time.
The natives took the questions of the
eastern scribe in good part and even
'jollied" him into believing that for
downright lawlessness the community
wherein he was sojourning was about
the most conspicuous portion of the
United States.
Don't you ever make a mistake in
these lynchings?" guilelessly asked the
Bostonian. THAT is, don't you ever
lynch the wrong man."
THAT happened once" put in some
one, "but we tried to do the square
thing by the widow"
Indeed"
"Yes; we appointed committee to
inform her that the joke was on us,
and we gave her the choice of the
crowd for her second husband."-I.ip-

NEW SPARS AND
MAST Fur YACHT
Designer CroWnshield
Says Hollow Timbers
Are Better

II Is now an assured fact that the
mast and spars brought down on the
5. c. Allen from Grays Harbor will
not be used on the yacht Hawaii. In
a recent letter to the Yacht Commit
tee, -. -. Crowninshield, the design
er of the yacht, made several sug-
gestions for improvements on the
yacht, naming the most important as
the use of hollow masts and spars.
This suggestion was at first thought
impracticable on account OF the eX-
pense involved; but now that'Lyle 4
Sorenson have agreed TO take the
trees off the hands of the committee,
II has been practically. decided to
order another set. These will prob
ably come overland from some place
IN the East, and they Will be rushed
down here as quickly as possible.
The lines of the new yacht are be-
ginning to take on their permanent
shapes of symmetrical beauty. There
is no doubt but that the boat will
prove a source of pride and satisfac-
ton to all. for she certainly is hum
mer One point that has not been
spoken about as much nor given as
much prominence as IT deserves and
that is the interior finishing of the
boat When the Hawaii is taken to
the Coast she will be the object of
more sightseers than almost any 9TH
or entering the race on account OF
the distance which she will have
travelled in order to start with the
rest,-and naturally the impression
that Is given to the visitor on board
will be the one that will be talked
about. The lines of the yacht are a
credit to the builder,-the fittings OF
the yacht will be credit to the peo'
pie of Hawaii.
Therefore 1t behoCves everyone &c
30 everything in his power to max,
the interior of the yacht beautiful
There is no doubt but that the Yacht
Committee is eXerting itself to tnt
utmost, but this little assembly o.
men cannot make the yacht a com
plete success without the coopera
ton of the people at large. 1t is t.
the credit of the people here, and es
pecially to those who have come for
ward and donated either money, ma
| tGrial, or skilled labor, that nothinl
has yet been suggested for the yacn
that has not been forthcoming.
