excellence that he afraid subject them the fullest scrutiny

imitators and those who may be pratt
cally inclined.
DR.. John Fyfe, OF Saugatuck, Conn.,,
Editor of the Department of Therapeu-
tics in THE ECLECTIC REVIEW says OF
Unicorn root (Helonias DiOica) one OF
the chief ingredients of DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription: "a remedy which
invariably acts as a uterine invigorator
and always iavors a condition which
makes for normal activity Of the entire
reproductive system, cannot fail to be
of great usefulness and of the utmost
importance to the general practitiones
of medicine"
rHelonias more fully answers the
above purposes than any other drug
icith Uhich / am acquainted. In the
treatment of diseases peculiar to women
it is seldom that case is seen which
does not present some indication for
this remedial agent"
"The following are among the lead
ing indications for Helonias: Pain or
aching in the back, with leucorrhea;
atomic (weak) conditions of the repro
ductive organs of women, mental de-
preston and irritability, associated with
chronic diseases of the reproductive
organs of women, constant sensation OF
heat in the region of the kidneys:
menorrhagia, ("flooding") due to a
weakened condition of the reproductive
system; amenorrhea, arising from or
accompanying an abnormal condition
of the digestive organs and an anemic
(thin blood) habit; dragging sensation
in the extreme lower part OF the alb
domen."
IL more or less of the above symptoms
are present, no invalid woman can do
better than take DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, which is rich in all the
medical properties of Unicorn root, or
Helonias.

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, en- plain
English, a full and complete list of all
the ingredients composing it, but a
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-
Gnt 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 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 DIR. 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 DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton was known to the Indians as
rSquaw-Weed." Our knowledge of the
uses of not a 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 "Fa-
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 eract proportion of the several in
gradients used in these medicines, q:
well as the working formula and pecul

employed in their manufacture, are

Respectfully.
STEPHEN a. LOWELL.
THE WORLD. Is HUMAN.

Truth is stranger than fiction and
the romances and tragedies of real
life are greater than those depicted
in the books with the catchy titles.
In Chicago a few days ago a Spo-
kane father found his daughter who
had been lost to him for two years.
They met in cafe and the JOY of
each was so great that it burst all
bounds. They embraced each other
before the fashionable throng and
the orchestra catching the meaning
Of the incident played Home, Sweet
Home"
Incidents like this occur every day,
though the most OF them attract but
little attention. The world is very
busy and there is much going on that
is neither love nor play. Yet the
world is human and it will always
stop to watch and will applaud a
scene where true love has part.

\ DREAM.

In visions of the dark night
have dreamed of joy departed
But a waking dream of life and light
Hath left me broken hearted.
All! What is not a dream by day
To him whose eyes are cast
on things around him with a ray
Turned back upon the past?
That holy dream-that holy dream,
While all the world We're chiding,
Hath cheered me as a lovely beam,
A lonely spirit guiding.
What though that light, thro storm
and night.
So trembled from afar-
What could there be more purely
bright
In Truths day star?

OCTOBER PARTY.
October gave a party;

October gave a party;
The leaves by hundred came
And Ashes. Oakes and Naples,
And those OF every name.
The sunshine spread a carpet,
And everything was grand,
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band.
The Chestnuts came in yellow.
The Oaks in crimson dressed:
The lovely Misses Maple
In scarlet looked their best,
And balanced all their partners,
And gaily fluttered by;
The sight was like a rainbow
New fallen from the sky,
Then, in the rustic hollows.
At "hide-and-seek" they played
The party closed at sundown,
And everybody stayed.
Professor Wind played louder;
They flew along the ground;
And then the party ended
In jolly "hands around"

WIN THE GAME.

At the board Of managers melting
yesterday afternoon the business
men Of Pendleton took the first move
in the campaign for the retention Of
the woolen mills in this city. That
the East Oregonian had much to do
with the calling Of this meeting is
well known. The paper is proud Of
the fact, though it has no desire to
monopolize the glory.
But the game has only opened. The
real work is yet to be and the sue
cess of the movement is far from be-
ing yet assured. The committee that
has the wooden mill proposition in
charge is like a ball team. They can
not win by themselves. They must
have the strong and enthusiastic sup
port Of the people of the city
Some OF those upon the committee
named yesterday are going into the
work with their muscles sore from
former struggles. Then there are
some little jealousies that may hinder
for a time. But they are all good,
strong men upon the committee
men who know how to work and
fight for Pendleton; men who have
done so in the past. If given the
right encouragement they will do so
now and all petty grievances will soon
be forgotten.
The East Oregonlan knows no more
about the wooden mill than anyone
else. But it knows that the location
Of the mill in this city is a splendid
thing for the town and county. It
believes thai the mill is a money
making proposition. This opinion it
has formed from competent evidence
from the testimony of those who
have run the mill and from men wno
have been the financial hackers Of
former lessees.
Furthermore. the East Oregonian !
firmly believes that the mill can be
saved II the business men Of this city
want to save it bad enough. !
where there's a will there's a way" /
If the woolen mill problem is tackled |
in the right spirit and with the pro-
per energy the little obstacles that
were discussed yesterday will melt |
away like a snow drift before a Chi
nook wind.
But no movement can be success
ful that does not have a strong sup
porting spirit back Of it, When the
Chicago bail team won the national
league championship the team had
the enthusiastic support Of Chlcago's
two million people. Because Of this
backing the arm Of every player was
Now is the time for the people Of
Pendleton 10 get upon their toes"
and root for the wooden mill Every
man in the city. who has a spark Of
local patriotism within his breast,
should work and talk for the wooden
mill. and then the game will be won.
