WOMAN'S TRIALS.

HER BITTER DISAPPOINTMENT.
The bitter trial in a womsn's life is
to be childless. Who can tell how hard
the struggle may have been ere she learnt
to resign herself to her lonely lot? The
absence of this link to bind marital life to-
Rether, the absence of this one pledge OF
mutual affection is a common dlsappoint-
ment. Many unfortunate couples become
estranged thereby. Even II they do not
drift apart, one may read the whole ex-
tent of their disappointment in the eyes
of such a childless couple when they rest
on the children of others. To them the
largest family does not seem too numerous.
1t will rather appear to them that those
on whom this blessing has been most richly
bestowed hardly value 1t sufficiently.
In many cases OF barrenness or child
lessness the obstacle to COLLABORATING is
easily removed by the cure of weaknes
on the part of the woman. DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription has been the means
of restoring health and fruitfulness to
many a barren woman, to the great Joy
of the household. In other, but rare cases,
the obstruction to the bearing of children
has been found to be of a surgical char
acter, but easily removable by operative
treatment at the Invslids' Hotel and Sur
gicsl Institute. Buffalo. N. Y. over which
DR.. Pierce of the "Favorite Prescription
fame presldes. In all cases where children
are desired and are absent, al effort should
be made to find out the real cause, since
It is generally so easily removed by proper
treatment.
In all the various weaknesses, displace-
ments. prolapsus, ante-versions, retriever
sion, inflammation of ~ovafies, leucorrhoea,
giving rise to disagreeable and weakening
drains, and In all cases of nervousness
nervous prostration and debility, DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the most
efficient remedy that can possibly be used.
1t has to it's credit hundreds of thousands
OF cures-more, in fact. than any other
remedy put up for sale through druggists,
especially for woman's use. You do not
have to take DIR. Pierce's word for this,
because the ingredients OF which the "Fa-
vorite Prescription" are composed nave re-
ceiyed the most positive endorsement from
the leading medical writer's on Materia
Medica of all the several schools of prac-
tice. All the ingredients are printed in
plain English on the wrapper enclosing the
bottle, so that II you are an invalid woman

Pierce takes his patients into his full con-
fidence. which he can afford to do, as the
formula after which the "Favorite Pre-

You do not have to experiment when

dents. DR.. Pierce resorted to Natures
Laboratory to get the ingredients for his
"Favorite Prescription" believing that the
indigenous. or native. medical roots OF our
country are endowed by Providence with
the most marvellous curative powers.
The only rational way to attempt to cure
disease is by assisting the natural functions
OF the body. and TO do that there is moth
Ing like Natures remedies, which act in
Natures way, toning and ~invigorating the
digestive organs, the liver, the stomach and
bowels and the nervous system, which
always suffers to a great extent in all the
various arrangements of the organs dis

The medicine of known composition is the
one to rely upon-the one that has a rec
ord OF forty years of cures-the one de-
vised and manufactured by a regularly
graduated and experienced practitioner OF
medicine. BY addressing DR.. r. V. Pierce
at Buffalo, N. Y, you may secure, free,
a little pamphlet giving numerous extracts
from many medical writer's OF prominence,
extolling the various ingredients which en-
ter into DR.. Pierce's Favorlte Prescription.
1t is worth looking over II you are a SUI
ferer.
DR.. Pierce does not claim for his Favor
lite Prescription that it is a "cure-all."
1t Is as a most perfect spe-
eific for woman's peculiar ailments. So
uniform are the results which follow the
use of this remarkable remedy. tina It can
be truly affirmed of "Favorite Prescrip-
ton that it always helps and, almost al
ways cures. Ninety-eight per cent of the
women who give this medicine a fair and
faithful trial are cured and remain cured.
1t is a powerful invigorating tonic. i'm

womanly health is so Intimately related to

For weak and sickly women who are worn
out" run down" or debilltated, especially
for women who work In store, office or

sewing machine, or bear heavy household
burdens, DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
will prove a priceless benefit, because of
it's health-restoring and strength giving

Equitable Re-eIects Omcers.
All the old officers were reelected and
all the standing committees reappointed

today. The report of President Paul Morton
for 1908 showed that the insurance paid
for during the year amounted to SOL. 9O, 1O1,
as against S7S,2T.5 $40 in 1907, yet notwith-
standing this increase in business the ex-
pense of management was nearly $l00. 900
less than in 1907. There was an increase
Of more thar s2.6OO.Ooo in the amount
paid to ~policyholders, the total being 49,

Dividends paid to policyholders during the
year representing unused portions OF their
premiums were sS.011 ,015. The amount set
aside for dividend distribution in 1900 is a
little more than $lo.0Oo.0OO.
The total insurance in force In the

New Ocean Record.
The turbine steamer Mauretania OF the
Cunard line came abeam of the Ambrose
channel light ship at 1880 tonight, thus
completing a voyage in which several new
ocean records were established. The
steamer not only broke it's own record over
the long winter course OF 5000 miles. by
two hours and twenty-five minutes, but
she also hauled down the figures held by
the Lusitania and has yet the new record
OF four days and seventeen hours and fifty
minutes. which is one hour and forty-six
minutes better than the Lusitania's best
time over the course. Another achievement
of the voyage was a days run of GIL knots,
which breaks ali records for such a run.
The Mauritania left Liverpool on Saturday
night and passed Daunt's Rock at 9:45
o'clock Sunday morning.

faculty is due to the fact that the skin

have the power to initiate this loose
skin by swallowing air through the

A WARNING DREAM.
The Vision Lincoln Saw Several Time,
In His Sleep.

he who most prldes himself upon his
freedom from superstition knows OF
or has experienced at least one dream
that cannot be explained as mere
result OF overlooking
When we contemplate dreams and
their qualifications science can help us
but little In their explanation. Wilkle
Collins showed this TO be SO In one of
his most ingenious novels, "Armadale."
Warming dreams or premonitlons may
be the result Of natural laws which
we do not understand.
Lincoln was not counted superstl-
tious because he had some confidence
IN the prophetic character of one
dream. at least, for II visited his sleep
on several occasions. and he spoke OF
II seriously to members OF his family
and to his closest friends. In telling
OF this vision lie said he seemed to be

but always the same. moving with
great rapidity toward dark and in
definite shore"
The dream preceded several marked
incidents during his occupancy Of the
presidential chair, notably before the
battles Of Antietam. fredericksburg
and Gettysburg
On the morning of the memorable
lith OF April he Informed members OF
his cabinet that he had dreamed this
same thing the night before and be-
lieved that they were on the threshold
Of some momentous issue. So Inn
pressive were his remarks that his
auditors were profoundly moved, but
