REAL MALE NOT REPRESENTED.

"I have been unable to find sim gle portrait in the combined salons of a man truly representative of French masculine elegance, de- plores Andre Defouquieres, the lee turer.
 NJ Defoquicres does not believe that modern "dandyism' is at fault but rather the artists who seem madly attracted towards men who clothes are badly cut with the cOdt collar either too high or too low. He admits that the modern male cos tune, outside of these for war and sports, cannot inspire artists, many of wEom are glad, therefore, to re- sort to models wearing the opcn Byrnnic collar. He asks that future salons snow some counterpart to the feminine legance they HOW display.

A MAN WHO BECAME
FAMOUS

Doctor r. V. Pierce, whose picture
appears above, was not only a success
full physician, but also a profound
student Of the medicinal qualities of
Natures remedies, roots and herbs,
and by close observation of the Meth
DDS used by the Indians, he discovered
their great remedial qualities, espe-
cially for weaknesses of women, and
after careful preparation succeeded in
giving TO the world a remedy which
has been used by women with the best
results for half a century. DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is still in great
demand, while many other so called
"cure-alls" have come and gone. The
reason for its phenomenal success Is
because of its absolute purity, and DR..
Pierce's high standing as an honored
citizen of Buffalo is a guarantee of all
that is claimed for the Favorite Pre-
scription as a regulator for the Ills
peculiar to women.
