Cures WOman's Weaknesses.

We refer to that boon tt weak, nervous,
suffering women known as DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription.
DIR. John Fyfe one of the Editorial Staff
of THE ECLECTIC MEDICAL REVIEW says
of Unicorn root (HelOnidS Dt0'cd) which
is one of the chief ingredients )f the "Fa-
vorite Prescription
IA remedy which invariably acts as utter

tivity Of the entire reproductive system"
ment which more fully. answers the above
purposes than any other drug tCtth tChfch am
ACQUAINTED In the treatment OF diseases Pc
culiar to women it is seldom that a case is
seen which does not present some indication
for this remedial agent" DR.. Fyfe further
says: 1.-THE following are among thu leading
indications for Helonias Unicorn root. Pain
or 1aching in the back. with eleucorrhGa:

better Than take Dr.. Pierce's FaYQrite
PRESCRIPTION, one Of the reading ingredl.

and the medical properties of which it
most faithfully represents.
Of Golden Seal root, another prominent
ingredient of "Favorite Prescription,
Prof. Finley Ellingwood, M. D., of Ben
nett Medical College, Chicago, says:
ut is an important remedy in disorders OF
the womb In all catarrhal conditions
and general enfeeblement. it is useful"
Prof. John M. Scudder, M. D., late OF
Cincinnati, says of Golden Seal root:
YIN relation to its general effects on the

| is universally regarded as the tonic useful in

Prof. R. Bartholow, M D., of Jefferson

A Test of the Referendum.

Last winter the initiative and
referendum was urged before
many legislatures. In Ohio the
fight was especially bitter.
Danger, dynamite and disas-
ter" was the answer of politi-
clans to the arguments for the
new plan.
Oregon has just held a general
election at which the initiative
and referendum was given a |
thorough trial. The people of
other States say what men shall
make their laws. The people of
Oregon say what laavs shall or
Ishall not be made.
! The politicians urged that the
people would vote blindly and
without understanding on laws
submitted to them, but the Ore
gon election disproved this and
showed that the people of that
State have outstripped US all in
the actual realization of govern
ment of and by and for the peo-
pie.
At the election Oregon voted
upon nineteen different meas
! ures. The Ohio and other poll
ticians have been busy all winter
explaining what a mess the Ore.
; gon people would be sure to
make of this. Let us see.
Of these nineteen measures
nine were rejected. So much
: for their prediction that the peo-
pie would vote everything up or
every thing down at the behest of
a political machine or a party
press.
But" said the politicians,
i "the people are chaff. They will
:, take up with every new craze. "
And they never failed to remind
. the Ohio farmer that in Oregon
the initiatiye had been used to
d bring the single tax to vote.
p But the people voted the single
:. tax down, just as they voted Wo,
wan suffrage down. With the
initiatiUe and referendum you cannon
IS get ahead of public opinion.
'But the people of Oregon are
D. already tired of their expert
: ment." Do you believe that
