Not only>does the wrapper of every
bottle of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery, the famous medicine for
weak stomach, torpid liver or bilious
ness and all catarrhal diseases wherever
located, have printed upon it, in plain
English, full and complete list OF all
the ingredients composing it, but q
small book has been compiled from
numerous standard medical works, of
all the different schools of practice,
containing very numerous extracts from
the writings of leading practitioners
of medicine, endorsing In The strongest
possible terms, each and every ingredi-
ent contained in DR.. Pierce's medi-
cines. One of these little books will be
mailed free TO any one sending address
on postal card or by letter, to DIR. R.V.
Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y, and requesting
the same. From this booklet it will be
learned that DIR. Pierce's medicines con-
tain no alcohol, narcotics, mineral
agents or other poisonous or injurious
agents and that they are made from
native, medicinal roots of great value;
also that some of the most valuable in
gradients contained in DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription for weak, nervous,
over-worked, rundown" nervous and
debilitated women, were employed, long
years ago by the Indians for similar
ailments affecting their squaws. In
fact, one Of the most valuable medic
inal plants entering into the compost
ton of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton was known to the Indians as
USquaw-Weed." Our knowledge of the
uses of not few OF our most valuable
native, medicinal plants was gained
from the Indians.
As made up by improved and exact
processes, and with the use of specially
designed chemical apparatus, the wFa-
vorite Prescription" is q most efficient
remedy for regulating all the womanly
functions, correcting displacements, as
prolapsus, anteversion and retroversion,
overcoming painful periods, toning up
the nerves and bringing about a per-
feet state of health.
The erdct proportion Of the several in
gradients used in these medicines, as
well as the working formula and pecul-
lar processes, apparatus and appliances
employed in their manufacture, are
withheld from publicity that DIR. Pierce's
proprietary rights may not be infringed
and trespassed upon by unprincipled

WASHING or EYES.
How to Battle Them Properly With
Lotions.


Lotions.
Ii more persons knew that the eye
balls need bathing quite as much az
the body, no dressing stand would bt
without an eye cup and lotion for this
purpose. In washing the eyes use 0
special glass that may be bought al
any druggists. This cup is shaped
something like wineglass, except thai
Vt Is elongated instead of round and
has a rim that slopes down In the mid
die to fit the eyes.
To use this little vessel fiji It three,
quarters full OF whatever lotion OF
liquid Is prescribed, then place 1t close
~ about the eye and throw back the
head. In this position open and shut
the eye. SO that the ball Is thoroughly
bathed.
: As to the lotion for the bath, an en-
.cellent and simple wash that will
cleanse the ball and relieve a feverisl
or tired sensation Is made by boiling
and filtering half pint Of water and
pouring into II while still warm one
half teaspoonful Of refined borax and
ten drops Of spirits Of camphor. says
the Washington Star. Let this cool,
then filter again through piece OF
thin muslin.
The cup may be partly filed with
this liquid morning and night and any
time during the day when the eyes feel
tired. II should be applied as pre-.
yiousiy directed and after using for q
time will usually clear away the yel.
low scum SO frequently seen on eye.
balls and always SO dishgurlng. Be.
fore applying any lotion the eyes must
always be carefully bathed In warm
water. 4 =
For eyes that are weak a tonic wash
recommended by English oculists Is
made In this way: 0ne-half OF an ounce
OF rock salt and one ounce OF dry sui.
phnte OF zinc simmered In a perfectly
clean. covered porcelain vessel with
three pints OF water until the ingredi.
ents are all dissolved. Strain through
thick. clean muslin, add one ounce OF
rosewater and cork tightly. Use when
the eyes feel weak. II the lotion

ANT Inflammation Of the eyes Is likely
TO exhibit itself by secretion on the
lids In the morning. and this condition
should be checked before II leads Into
another more serious state.
After bathing with either OF the 10.
tons given the edges OF the lids should
be covered at night with paste made
OF two and one-haif centigrams each OF
oxide Of zinc and subacetate Of lead.
twenty-five centlgrams OF oil Of sweet
almonds, three grams Of white vase.
line and three drops Of tincture Of
benzoln.
II Is well 10 have this compounded
by 4 chemist, for should there be the
least lump or grain II Is apt to find its
way Into the eye and cause irritation.
In making any lotion at home too
much care cannot be given to altering.
and should the liquid become cloudy
after time It must be strained again
TO prevent causing irritation.

GENERAL GORDON.
Mis- Erratic Nature and . Tribute to
His Heroism.


In his book, Modern Egypt"
lord Cromer, for twenty years the
CONSERVATIVE Of British authority
in the land Of the khediye, gives
The other side of the heroic story
If General Gordon's rule in Khar-
tnm, where he was slain by the
fsnatical natives. Lord Cromer
twice rejected the proposal to send
Gordon to the Sudan. 'sWould,"
he saws, "tlrat ! had done SO a third
timeb lie soon woke to Gordon's
variability. He says: @Impulsive
Aiphtiness was in fact the main
defect of General Gordon's charac-
ter, and it was one which, in my
opinion, rendered him unfit to carry
ont a work which prominently re-
ouired a cool and steady head. /
used to receive twenty to thirty
kilograms from General Gordon in
the course Of the day when he was
in Khartum, those in the evening
often giving opinions which it was
impossible to reconcile with others
dispatched the same morning"
This stream of kilograms from
Khartum was so continuous that
Lord Cromer had to adopt a special
method Of dealing with them. 81
generally found q batch Of them
waiting for me when began my
work in the morning" he says. my
practice was to put them on one
side and wait till the afternoon, by
which time more had generally ar
rived. I used them to compare the
different kilograms, to try to ex-
tract from them what it was that
General Gordon really wanted and
then to decide what could be done
toward carrying out his wishes"
Lord Cromer says also: Zone Of
the leading features Of General
Gordon's strange character was his
total absence Of self control. He
was Iiable to fits OF ungoyernable
and often Of the most unreasonable
passion. He formed rapid opinions
without elaboration and rarely held
to one opinion for long. His jour
nal, in which his thoughts from
day 10 day are recorded, is, even in
the expurgated form in which it
was published, a mass Of inconsist-
encics."
General Gordon's courage is
warmly praised by Lord Cromer,
who SAYS further: 'Many a man be-
fore General Gordon has laid down
his life at the call OF duty. Many
a man, too, has striyen to regard
death as glad relief from pain,
sorrow and suffering. But no sol
der about 10 lead 4 forlorn hope
no Christian martyr tied 10 The
stake or thrown TO the wild beasts
Of ancient Rome, ever faced death
with more unconcern than General
Gordon"
