By this bold step DR. Pierce has shown that his formulas Of such
excellence that he afraid subject them fullest scrutiny

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, q 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 DIR. 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 DR.. R.V.
Pierce, Buffalo, N. ", and requesting
the same. From this booklet it will be
learned that DR.. 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 DIR. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription for weak, nervous,
over-worked, wrun-down,n nervous and
debilitated women, were employed, long
years ago by the Iasians for similar
ailments affecting their squaws. In
fact, one of the most valuable medic
inal plants entering into the compost
ton of DIR. 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 cFa-
vorite Prescription" is a 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 eTact proportion of the several in.
gradients used in these medicines, al
we'll as the working formula and pecul.
lar processes, apparatus and appliances
employed in their manufacture, are
withheld from publicity that DIR. Pierce'i

Burlington Is Said to Have Forced
On good authority 1t is announced
that the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
railroad has taken over by purchase
the Missouri River & Northwestern
railroad, known in the Hills as the
Crouch line and operating between
Rapid City and Mystic. The sale is
said to have been forced by the Bur-
lingtOn.
The Crouch line runs but thirty,
nine miles and is known as "the road
of curves" 1t twice has been washed
out, had several bad wrecks and dam
age suits as a result, and an unusually
hard uphill fight for maintenance ever
since it was opened, nearly two years
ago. 1t always has been the popular
supposition that the road was owned
by the Milwaukee line and that it
some day would become q strategic
factor in that lines western progress.
Several announcements OF its extern
sion into the Wyoming coal fields have
been made recently G. D. Crouch,
the builder and one of the stockhold-
ers, is now in the East on a financial
mission, which was recently said to
have terminated successfully.
The agents of the road at Rapid
City deny the report of the sale, but it
is generally credited in railroad cir.
cles throughout the Hills. A Arm of
Cleveland bankers for some time have
been largely interested in the opera
ton of the Crouch road.

When the Indian department took UP

confirming any OF the allotments. The
decision has been the only obstruction
to an early opening. Pressure has
been brought to bear on the Indian

as soon as the papers were forwarded
by the alloting agent. This the depart.

OF few changes In allotments to be

Agent Scriven is doing his work up
just as fast as possible in order that
there may be no delay resulting from

The supreme couort holds that the
nursery stock law, passed at the last
legislative session, is good so far a.
1t was drawn to make it effective. but
was 30 loosely drawn in part to make
that particular feature Of it inocuous
and Of no effect.
The law contained three main fea.
lures: First, requiring all nursery
stock offered for sale in the state to
have been inspected by some compe-
tent entymologist and the condition OF
the stock as to its healthiness to be
certified to by such authority; second.
to secure certificate for the privilege
of sale by application to the state
board Of agriculture, and the payment
of fee of $40 for such certificate.
with an allitional fee OF $3.50 for cop
les OF such certificate for each agent

third, requiring the nurserymen to put
up bond of $4,000, presumably to
protect his customers against poor
stock.
But while the court holds the two
provisions of inspection and a certin.

on the bond provision that it is so pro.
vided in the law that the bond demand.
