Only the tortures of the me- « dixval rack are if sy JjTO comparable to the Va agonies which [ • 3 many women ' T suffer through k. ' /AG/ ” 1 1— — the peculiar and diseases of their deli- \X cate, feminine structure. Nothing less than unbearable torment would induce sensitive-minded women to submit to the intolerable methods of the average doctor in dealing with diseases of this nature. That there is “ a better way ” than these detestable “examinations" and “local applications” is a truth which some women have yet to learn, although thousands are already rejoicing in the knowledge. They have found in Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription the one unfailing remedy which heals feminine weaknesses at their very source. This marvelous “Prescription” restores absolute health to the internal organism; stops weakening drains and ulcerated conditions, gives elastic strength to the supporting ligaments, vitality to the nerve centers, and complete womanly vigor to the entire constitution. It is the perfect fortifier and regulator of women at every critical period in their development; from the time when they merge into womanhood until the “ change of life.” It is the one medicine which makes motherhood safe and almost free from nain. A lady living at - Park Avenue. Chicago. Ills.. Mrs. Elili’v Howe, writes: "I. myself, suffered a long time from female weakness and seemed to be going into .1 decline Took several bottles of your Favorite Prescription ' and it saved me from a great deal of suffering. I now enjoy perfect health and will ever praise the wonderful efficacy of your medicine.” The best popular medical book in the world is Dr. R. V. Pierce’s 1000 page illustrated Common Sense Medical Adviser. It will be sent free, paper-bound, for 21 one-cent stamps, to pay the cost of mailing only. Address the Doctor at Buffalo. N.Y., or send 31 stamps for cloth-bound copy.

Most persons unacquainted with i the Spanish language are puzzeled at the duplication of "Morro castles in the chief cities and fortified towns of Cuba. It appears that Morro, in the Spanish tongue, signifies "anything round or projecting over an eminence, or an overhanging lip of a precipice.” This accounts for a Morro castle or fort guarding every harbor that the American gunboats have yet visited. Spain has been receiving half a million dollars a year from the Phillippine islands by renting out the privileges to sell opium. Permission to carry on cock fighting, which is one of the principal amusements of the natives, was rented by Spain to a company which paid >149.039 annually for the privilege. The Spanish government's profit on lotteries in the islands aggregated over a half a million dollars annually. Wisconsin farm lands.

The supreme court lias decided j that the act of the last legislature authorizing the serving of notice of an appeal on the attorneys instead of appellees is unconstitutional. The matter grew out of the case of Mary O’Mara vs. the Wabash railroad Co. in which she sought to recover damages in the sum of SIO,OOO for the death of her husband, a freight brakeman. O'Mara died from the effects of injuries recieved at Logansport where he was caught between a freight car and a telegraph pole. She lost in a lower court in Tippecanoe county and her appeal was dismissed because the appellee was not notified.
