40 Years of Success For over 40 years Dr. Pierce’s Family Medicines have kept the lead and stili stand in the front rank as curative agents. They are little advertised now, as compared with many others, resting, as they do for popularity upon their many years of marvelous cures and the grateful friends they have made. ASK YOUR NEIGHBORS They must know of many cures of bad cases of Female Weakness and Kindred Ailments of Women due to the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription IT MAKES WEAK WOMEN STRONG, SI OK WOMEN WELLu. It’s the only advertised medicine for woman’s ills which contains neither alcohol (which to most women is worse than rankest poison) nor habit-forming, or injurious drugs and the makers of which are not afraid to print ail its ingredients on its outside wrapper. Is that not significant ?

Behind Dr. Pierce’s Medicines stands the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, thoroughly equipped and with a Staff of Skilled Specialists to treat the more difficult cases of Chronic diseases whether requiring Medical or Surgical skill for their cure.

Also at this session a successor will be chosen for Dr. Wilcox, who has tendered his resignation from the active pastorate and who will devote his time to journalism and the lecture platform. As yet no possible candidates for the local pulpit have been mentioned and no one is able to predict who will be given the local charge. The body will probably encounter difficulty in selecting one whb can fill the place of Dr. Wilcox Immediately after the close of con ference Dr. Wilcox will return to this city and prepare his goods for shipment to St. Louis, where he possesses a newspaper plant.

He left no clew as to his motive, but it is believed that business troubles caused him to commit suicide. A strange coincidence is that tw T o years ago, at the same tme, in the same place and in the same manner James Leap, the father-in-law of Mr. Van Cleave, commited suicide. A widow and four children survive.
