A large and representative audi

Already large proportion Of the rural

by this measure. and without doubt prac-

hygiene Is not peculiar in this respect: the
principle applies to public health in gen.

and the like. Federal interest in agri-
cultural development has. 1t will be grant

system DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription can do only good-never
harm. Its whole effect is to
strengthen, invigorate and regu-
late the whole female system and
especially the pelvic organs. When
these are deranged in function or
affected by disease, the stomach
and other organs of digestion be-
come sympathetically deranged,
the nerves are weakened, and a
long list of bad, unpleasant synp-
toms follow. Too much must not
be expected of the "Favorite Pre-

vent them, if taken in time, and

extol, in the most positive terms,

non-professional testimonials.
Do not expect too much from
the use of DR.. Pierce's Golden

work miracles. 1t will not cure
