From this little book it will be learned that Dr..
Piercc's medicines contain no alcohol, narcot-
les, mineral agents or other poisonous or injurious
agents and that they are made from native, medi-
cinal roots of great value; also that some Of the
most valuable ingredients contained in DR.. Piercc's
Favorite Prescription for weak, nervous, over
worked, rundown nervous and debilitated wom-
en-, were employed, long years ago, by the Indians
for similar ailments affecting their squaws. In fact,
one of the most valuable medicinal plants entering
into the composition of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
s~crjption was known to the Indians as Squaw-
Weed. Our knowledge of the uses of not a

Thus DR.. Pierce has taken his numerous patrons and patients
into his full confidence. Thus too he has removed his med.

placed them in a class all by themselves by making them
remedies OF KNOWN COMPOSITION. BY this bold step DR..
Pierce has shown that his formulas are OF such excellence
that he is NOT afraid to subject them to the fullest scrutiny.

A BOLD STEP

To overcome the we'll grounded and reasonable objections OF
the more intelligent to the use of secret, medicinal compounds
DR.. r. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, some time ago, decided to
make a bold departure from the usual course pursued by the
makers of put-up medicines for domestic use, and so has pub.
lished broad cast and openly to the whole world, a full and
complete list of all the ingredients entering into the compositi

In the days of his youth the Ken

at sunrise the parties met at the ap'

Now it was this Kentuckian's duty
to say the last words touching the

faithfully performed this duty, the
duel never took place.

CHAPTER VII.
The Second Section.


Have you ever been picked up out
of your three-meals-a-day life, whirled |
around in tornado of events, and
landed in situation so grotesque and
yet SO horrible that you laugh even
while you are groaning, and strainlng
at its hopelessness? Mcknight says
that is hysteria, and that no man
worthy of the name ever admits to It.
Also. as Mcknight says, it sounds
like tank drama. Just as the reVolv'
ing saw Is about to cut the hero into
stove lengths, the second villain blows
up the sawmill. The hero goes up
through the roof and alights on the
bank of a stream at the feet OF his
lady love, who is making daisy chains.

the whole thing. And while laughed
my very soul was sick, for the girl
was gone by that time, and knew by
all the loyalty that answers between
| men for honor that l would have to
put her out of my mind.
And yet, all the night that followed,
| Allied as it was with the shrieking de-
mons of pain, l saw her as l had seen

ribbons. told the doctor this, guard
